Try To Hide

Massacre's song "Try To Hide" delves into the complex emotions of trying to escape from one's own reality and the internal conflicts that come with it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is attempting to find solace and freedom by hiding their true feelings and desires. The opening lines, "Giving to my soul just another way to hide," suggest a deep-seated need to conceal one's true self, perhaps due to fear or past trauma. The imagery of setting free a dove juxtaposed with a tight grip symbolizes the tension between wanting to be free and feeling trapped by one's circumstances.

The song also touches on themes of disillusionment and loss. The lines, "the sun shines and your face turned grey you know the graveyard where your dreams are buried," evoke a sense of dreams lost and a life that has not turned out as hoped. This imagery of a graveyard for dreams is particularly poignant, highlighting the emotional weight of unfulfilled aspirations. The repeated attempts to run and hide indicate a cycle of avoidance and the struggle to confront one's reality.

Despite the somber themes, there is a glimmer of hope and a call to live in the moment. The lyrics, "I've got no faith I live for today," suggest a shift towards embracing the present and finding joy in the now, even if it means letting go of past dreams. The song ends on a somewhat optimistic note with, "let's have a real cool time tonight," indicating a desire to find happiness and connection, even amidst the struggles. Massacre's raw and emotive delivery adds depth to these themes, making "Try To Hide" a powerful exploration of the human condition and the quest for freedom and authenticity.
