    Lyrics:
    Where are we? What the hell is going on?
    The dust has only just 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 amass 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 moments 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.
    Mmm, what you say?
    Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
    Mmm, what you say?
    Mm, that it's all for the best? Of course it is.
    Mmm, what you say?
    Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
    What you say?
    Mmm, 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)
    Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
    Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
    (hide and seek)
    Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
    You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.
    (hide and seek)
    You don't care a bit.
    You don't care a bit.
    You don't care a bit.
    (hide and seek)
    You don't care a bit.
    You don't care a bit.

    I wish I could hear this for the first time again. I used to take my friend's car on short midnight drives and listen to new underground releases on local radio. This had just come out and started playing on one of those eerie, liberating night drives. It was completely possessing and synchronized with the night in the most profound way.

    She managed to make a song with almost zero musical backing entertaining and deeply emotional. You need an impressive understanding of melody to be able to do this. Something I don't really see anyone even mentioning, either. As a musician, I seriously admire the courage to put out something like this. No piano, no drums, no guitar, no bass, just vocals.

    Some of the best songs and poems are where you are left to interpret (from Wikipedia): Heap described the song as one which "doesn't connect to a genre, it's completely open", adding "It's full of color, but it's colorless. It's full of meaning, but it has no meaning. It has so much for you as the listener to identify with it and fill in the gaps."

      @fey0217 4 роки тому +58

      i think it's because the mmm whatcha say part is fueled by anger in terms of the narrative of the song. it's the most aggressive part of the song and the lyrics themselves are what you'd typically hear in an argument fueled by anger and sarcasm. like before this part she doesn't understand why what's happening to her but is blindly accepting it. but the mmm whatcha say part is a turning point in her thinking and she's questioning her situation. and it ends so quietly as it seems that she knows that she doesn't have a choice but to accept her situation. at least that's what i think.

      Usually that part is called the bridge. It’s slightly different from the rest of the song, but it ties the message of the song together. Many songs have bridges, you just have to listen to the slight change in tune and beat.

The chorus itself is about how people who divorce say its for the best, but its never for the best from the child's perspective, it's literally their world breaking apart.

      @@Despotic_Waffle There's no official song meaning. It's certainly a song about *loss*, however it's written ambiguously enough that many interpret it to even be about the holocaust.
      Heap herself said:
      "It's full of color, but it's colorless. It's full of meaning, but it has no meaning. It has so much for you as the listener to identify with it and fill in the gaps."
      Personally, I can see how it fits well as a metaphor for divorce AND as an extremely disturbing metaphor for the Holocaust. The removal of possessions. feeling confused and scared by where you are now. Trains. (The infamous death trains) Sewing machines. (labour/death camps.)
