Hide and Seek

reply to: LainxLightning, and alonano

how is this song about the Holocaust? ya it makes sense but only in certain parts..... how do you explain the rest of the song.. you cant only explain bits and pieces of the song, its like poetry you have to look at it as a whole... so unless someone can explain every word and phrase and how its metaphoricly relating to the Holocaust, you got nothing...especially since it goes like " Mm what'cha say? Mm, that you only meant well, Well of course you did.Mm what'cha say? Mm that it's all for the best, Of course it is. Mm what'cha say? Mm that it's just what we need,You decided this? Mm what'cha say? Mm what did you say?" how could that even relate? sorry.. just sayin... and i could be wrong but i dont think i am... the way the song is portrayed to me at least is, she says "Where are we? What the hell is going on? The dust has only just begun to fall Crop circles in the carpet Sinking feeling" like a relationship; like someone just lost, not in a death way, but more like a close friend or a significant other... its talking about the begining of when they start losing someone.. like rethinking about what just happened...

"Spin me around again and rub my eyes This can't be happening When busy streets a mess with people Would stop to hold their heads heavy" basicly like they just lost a friendship or messed up some relationship with someone that was really close and they are taking everything in like they cant believe what happened..

"Hide and seek Trains and sewing machines All those years They were here first" "hide and seek" like they are lost without that person... and they are waiting to be found again...mainly thinking about the years wasted on something that turned out to be nothing...

"Oily marks appear on walls Where pleasure moments hung before The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity Of this still life" she's looking around in a specific place maybe a house or somwhere where alot of time was spent with this other person whom they felt they have lost.. but she's looking back and thinking about all the good and bad memories as if they were just pictures she was looking at, like the memories dont feel real because when you think about them it makes you hurt and feel empty because you dont have them anymore or more that you are losing them...

"Hide and seek Trains and sewing machines Blood and tears They were here first" this is basicly her taking her life into consideration..

"Mm what'cha say? Mm, that you only meant well Well of course you did Mm what'cha say? Mm that it's all for the best Of course it is Mm what'cha say? Mm that it's just what we need You decided this? Mm what'cha say? Mm what did you say?" this is pretty self explanitory... she's two people here... she's restating what the other person ,whom shes losing, is saying to her...like a break is something thats needed, and that in the end its gonna be better that things turned out the way they did, and they are pretty much deciding everything without taking what she thinks into consideration.. so she's only agreeing, its more of a sarcastic argument...

"Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth Mid-sweet-talk newspaper word cutouts (paper word cutouts) Speak no feeling; no, I don't believe you You don't care a bit You don't care a bit" and then this last part is saying how the other person is acting like them leaving doesnt matter, but they still try to be around to work on things or act like they care, but in the end she's saying how she feels numb and realizes that that other person doesnt care so she's saying stop speaking and making excuses because you dont care about whats going on...

this is my portrayal on what this song means, a shortened brief version... and maybe im wrong.. but this is what i get out of it and i know alot of people that look at it this way.. but please feel free to correct me if im wrong...
