Lyric discussion by groovybassist 

Cover art for (Wish I Could) Hideaway lyrics by Creedence Clearwater Revival

John Fogerty has written this song for his brother Tom who was leaving the band at this time and here he is regretting that Tom is leaving. The strange thing is just the fact that on the Pendulum album is a second song, "Chameleon", where John speaks quite though about his brother

@groovybassist Those are your interpretations. Highly doubtful on both counts.
