about

Hiding All Away elucidates the futility and madness of hiding behind a false image. Even if I manage it and win love for that image, it is only the image that is loved, so what have I gained? The unrelenting drive of the guitar and drums, pounding in sync, underpinned by the pulsing bass and keyboard synths, portrays the power of the fear that in turn powers the inner tyrant, but also the power of truth, which ultimately beats out every lie. The truth IS; the lie requires constant tending. Topped off with soaring, dynamic vocals, Hiding All Away calls us all out from around our corners

lyrics

(Let’s see if we can handle this.
Let’s see if we can love right now.
Let’s see if we can do it.
Let’s see if we can.)

How could you think we would not see? We are not they, too scared to feel pain (We are not scared by pain)
All that you hide, we see everything. (We see what we see, we know what we know)
You’re just like a child, you run off and hide
You’ve been hiding around the corner, but we watched you hide there.
You’ve been hiding around the corner, hiding all away.

I think it’s time you knew, you can’t hide a look from across the room.
I think it’s time you heard, you can’t hush every word, no you can’t hush every word, no you can’t hush every word…

Well, I know you won’t hear, you’ve cut off your ears
And I know that your armor has convinced you
You are strong, you are powerful, and nothing can stop you but the truth!

So you craft a special knife, forge it in your own fire
A special magic knife, your final evidence
Now you chop it up for supper and with every bite
The fantasy you is more realized.

Ha-ah, you’re just like a drone, controlled by your own
Crazy, fantasy world, that we watched you build
You’ve been hiding in that fantasy world, that we watched you build

Set down your fork, set down your knife. We are not they, who stand in your way,
Now that you know, we see everything.
Just like a child, you run off and hide
You’ve been hiding around the corner, but we watched you hide there.
You been hiding around the corner, c’mon now and give us a good scare.

(Let’s see if we can handle this.
Let’s see if we can love right now.
Let’s see if we can do this.
Let’s see if we can love right now, love right now, love right now.)
