Just like in the children's game, the song is about hiding and seeking.
Only in this context you hide from negativity, judgement and expectations that encounter and accompany you in everyday life. At the same time you seek for a place where the inner self can take refuge from the very same negativity - this imaginary place is called "safe space".
The term originates from meditation and describes a possibility to go to a place of your own design purely in thought without moving physically.
It is as easy as child's play and can be practiced anywhere: you close your eyes, count backwards, and suddenly open your eyes again at a completely different place. 

The verses of the song describe a possible safe space, a sunny island with a sandy beach.
The chorus, on the other hand, describes what you want to escape from: insecurities, worries, fears, dissatisfaction.
The ocean is a symbol of our environment, our everyday life that surrounds us.
Here it is cold and dangerous and you are vulnerable of drowning in all this negativity.
The only way not to perish is to become independent - from the opinions and views of others, from the stress that is put on you and especially from the emotions that difficult life phases trigger in you.
„Hide and Seek“ demonstrates that you can be in control and that everything is a matter of perspective.

Hide and Seek

This is the soundtrack for a roadtrip fleeing away from society standards.

The songwriting process started with a Skateboard Video from Jonny Giger thematizing lateflips that i saw on YT. Inspired from the video's music i picked up my guitar and wrote the chords. Since i developed two different sections, i added a scenic event where an audio tape is played and flipped, to give 'late flip' a second meaning. The intro has a western flair and i imagined a native american apache grinding the rails in a middle-of-nowwhere-skatepark. This was the foundation of the Artwork.
