my new ep 'heart shaped bruise' is out now: etta.lnk.to/heartshapedbruise

The idea behind «Hide & Seek» came from a weird fear I had when I was younger, which was not being found or being forgotten about when hiding in a game of hide and seek. I wanted to play around with that idea and ended up writing from the perspective of the seeker, who just won’t give up trying to find the one person left hiding. It became dark and obsessive pretty fast after realising how creepy it sounded.

Etta Marcus - Hide & Seek (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

(Let’s play, let’s play)

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

(Let’s play let’s play
Let’s play, let’s play
Let’s play, let’s play
Let’s play, let’s play)
