I have to agree with the first comment. I have tried to interpret this song from the perspective of a romantic relationship of sorts, and as much of the majority of the album's songs are clearly about such but "Hiding Out" doesn't seem to clearly fit that mold.
The last few lyrics, "so many times we've have to chance for change and rebirth, oh so many times we've have the chance to pause and reverse..."
I don't think this references the chance to start over in a romantic relationship or start over as friends, but instead about a redemptive relationship with Christ. Knowing that all the members of the band don't try to hide their identity as Christians, (Mute Math Darren's band has always identified as a "Christian" band.)
Anyway, I think the last few lyrics, "nobody wants anything, unless you give it to them like it's worth something..." I think perhaps this is a statement of disappointment made about the majority of the current church's presentation of the gospel as often being inappropriate and not truly representative of Christ. Therefore, it is hard for many to ever entertain spiritual ideas much less, "let Christ inside."
