Hideaway

In 'Hideaway,' WIMY delves into the complexities of longing and the emotional turbulence that comes with unreciprocated love. The song opens with a sense of frustration and confusion, as the narrator repeatedly tries to reach out to someone who seems to be avoiding them. The repeated calls and the busy line symbolize the barriers and the emotional distance that have grown between them. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the narrator's feelings of isolation and the desperate need for connection.

The chorus reveals the core of the narrator's yearning: the desire to have their loved one by their side. The phrase 'You act like it's something to hideaway' suggests that the person they long for is reluctant to show their true feelings or perhaps is hiding from the intensity of the relationship. This reluctance creates a sense of mystery and unattainability, heightening the narrator's sense of longing. The metaphor of being a 'light in the darkest times of space' underscores the narrator's belief that this person could bring immense joy and clarity to their life, yet remains elusive.

As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on the peace and transformation they experience when they are with this person. Despite the emotional turmoil, they acknowledge that a part of them still belongs to this individual. The repeated question, 'What can I do?' encapsulates the helplessness and vulnerability that come with unrequited love. 'Hideaway' is a poignant exploration of the human need for connection, the pain of emotional distance, and the hope that love can bring light to even the darkest moments.
