I believe that on at least one occasion, Ed said this song was about an acid trip. Anyone know what show/shows?
I shut and locked the front door
No way in or out
I turned and walked the hallway
And pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around
But nothing's sound, nothing's sound
I'd stay but my last tab left me
Ignored all my rounds
Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls
They were upside down
I swallow my words to keep from lying
I swallow my face just to keep from biting, I, I..
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my pen wasn't writing
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
It's been about three days now
Since I've been aground
No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
It's funny when things change so much
It's all state of mind
I swallowed my words to keep from lying
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting I, I...
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving
I surfaced and all around me was enlightened
Now I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding

i guess now i can see some drug reference..at certain parts.. but i just don't think that's what he means. i get such a different feel from it and it always seemed like this uplifting magesty of a tune, and i never got the drug reference. but hey, who knows? although ed never did acid. he said in an interview he only used to smoke pot on occasion and he has tried ecstacy a few times. thats it.

I think 'In Hiding' is most definitely about tripping and the enlightened feeling some are able to experience with it. After my own experiences, I can identify with many of the lines of that song, especially the part about things seeming so simple now. A lot that was always harder for me before just became so clear and easier to figure out

wow i really do see the drug reference now..its kind of upsetting though since i've always viewed it as something so different .. about changes in your life and turning things around. oh well .. thats still what i get from it.

When the spoon is hot
And the needles sharp
And you drift away
I can hear you say
That the world in black
Is upon your back
And your body shakes
So you ditch away
And you close the shades
PBM
Brilliant song.
I caught a flash of flash of your smile through the fog of a dream, I'll have a hell of a time I clearly see, I can't be by your side, see you when I sleep.

I thought the noose had references to the 12 step plan, the album is called 13th step, mjk is renowed for his sarcasm and i think the noose is his way of taking the piss out of ppl who go to rehab and then tell eveyone else wht to do...

but i think acids more about hedonism. if your on acid and in hiding u took too much or are having a bad trip.
i think hiding is more about reflection. feeling bummed out about things. but maby it is about a trip. who knows???
