Hide & Seek - Etta Marcus

Love

Although the song is listed as pop, it is far from it. The deep core meaning of this song has everything to do with being a bother to people you love or one-sided love. Repeatedly in the song, it states, " I'm the whole in your sweater  The Splinter In your Finger  Bet you're sweet for me." The song's name is Hide and Seek, and Etta repeatedly says that she will find you put the thought of I'm going to chase you forever because I love you even though you may not love me back. Love can be encapsulating and even more frustrating when your love is one-sided, and seeing it through that lens of I will always love you, but you will never love me. At least not in the way I love you.

 Lyrics

Face down in the gutter

I should stay here forever

I'm the hole in your sweater

The splinter in your finger

Bet you're sweet for me

You can wash your skin, you'll still find me within

Your darkest dreams

Close your eyes and count to ten and I will find you

Every time you lay your blonde hair

I'll be right next to you whether you want me

I'll walk on broken glass to get there

I'm gonna find you in a game of hide and seek

Moved out to the suburbs

Two nights in and it just hurts

I can't shake my devotion

I'm knee-deep in obsession

When you think you're free, you'll think of me

I'll do just the same

Last night, I etched your name into the basement of my dreams

Close your eyes and count to ten and I will find you

Every time you lay your blonde hair

I'll be right next to you whether you want me

I'll walk on broken glass to get there

I'm gonna find you in a game of hide and seek
