Hide Me
Embracing Shadows: Steven Walker's Soulful Quest in 'Hide Me'
Lyrics
Damn the light
Expressing frustration or dislike towards something metaphorically represented as "the light."
That shines in my way
Suggesting that the light is an obstacle or hindrance in the speaker's path.
It brings to mind
Reflecting on thoughts that linger and do not easily disappear.
All these thoughts that won't fade
The persistent thoughts are difficult to forget or overcome.
Should I live should I die
Contemplating existential questions about life and death.
Should I learn to walk in the day
Considering whether to adapt to the challenges of life ("walk in the day").
But this night is home
Embracing the idea that the night, symbolizing darkness or difficulty, is where the speaker feels at home.
So I'll rest my head in her grave
Choosing to find solace or comfort in difficulties, as represented by resting in the metaphorical "grave."
So cover me in darkness
Expressing a desire to be concealed or protected by darkness.
Keep me from the light
Seeking refuge from the challenges or harsh realities represented by the light.
Fool me to believing I'm alright
Acknowledging the possibility of being deceived into thinking everything is fine.
So hide me here tonight
Reiterating the desire to be hidden or protected, particularly during the night.
Damn the light
Repeating the dislike or frustration towards the persistent light.
That won't go away
Emphasizing that the light is unyielding or persistent.
It brings to mind
Revisiting thoughts and circumstances that are difficult to change.
All these things i can't change
Highlighting the inability to alter certain aspects of life.
Will I live will I die
Repeating existential questions, pondering the uncertainty of life and death.
Will I learn to run with this pain
Wondering if the speaker will adapt and endure pain.
I fear the night
Expressing a fear of the night, possibly due to the challenges it brings.
But I can't live in the day
Acknowledging a difficulty in living during the day, suggesting a preference for the night.
So cover me in darkness
Reiterating the desire to be covered or protected by darkness.
Keep me from the light
Seeking continued shelter from the challenges or harsh realities represented by the light.
Fool me to believing I'm alright
Acknowledging the potential for self-deception into believing that everything is okay.
So hide me here tonight
Repeating the plea to be hidden or protected, particularly during the night.
