As for its intended meaning... I think it is about keeping something socially unacceptable a secret, like one's sexuality or something like that. mostly because of the first line in the 2nd verse..'Pacific to Eastern we're bordered and hated'
but as for its personal meaning to me... I agree with skyblue that 'hiding' could mean retreating from the drama of every day life. Though still that line (Pacific to Eastern we're bordered and hated) is problematic...
Beautiful song, yes.
