Hide and Seek

I am completely in love with the group Imogen Heap. These lyrics I especially find genius!

"Where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only begun to fall
crop circles in the carpet
sinking feeling

spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can't be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads - heavy

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moment hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here)
blood and tears (hearts)
they were here first

Mmmm whacha say,
Mmmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm whacha say,
Mmmm that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
Mmmm wathca say?
Mmmm that it's just what we need
you decided this
Mmmm whacha say?
Mmmm what did she say?

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling no I don't believe you
You don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)
speak no feeling no I don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit"






I'm sure there are many interpretations of what these lyrics could potentially mean, but here's my try at it.

I believe the overall song is speaking of a relationship ending. "Crop Circles in the Carpet" could be a sign of furniture that belonged to one of the people in the relationship who moved out. My favorite line would have to be "oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before the takeover" This may be completely off, but when I think of oily marks, I think of finger marks on the the walls from a passionate sexual encounter.
Trains: again; someone from the relationship moving away on a train perhaps?


Alright, well it's almost 1:30am; and my brain is fried. This song came on during random play on my computer and I had to get it all out.
