Hide It

Hide It lyrics

Official lyrics for “Hide It” by Festival Guy.

Intro (whisper over hats): Check your pockets… count it off—one, two—

Verse 1 Keys in the ashtray, note on the door, Footsteps flicker on a checkerboard floor. Backroom ledger, names in a row, Every little secret’s got someplace to go. Neon breathing, mirror says “shh,” Truth took a taxi and jumped the hush.

Pre-Chorus Lock the groove, let the corners bend— Off-beat answers round the end.

Chorus (dynamic build each word) pp hide it, mp hide it, f hide it ff hide it, SHOUT HIDE IT… WHERE DID IT GO? (Repeat; claps on off-beats, strings rising; female ad-libs—breathy moans/sighs—curl around the last line.)

Verse 2 Clav bites midnight, bass walks sly, Chicken-scratch guitars make the floorboards fly. Count the shadows dancing in tow, Slip through the pocket where the beats don’t go.

Pre-Chorus Left foot late, right foot right— Sync the thunder to the light.

Breakdown (talk-sung + perc): Pocket, locket, jacket seam— Vibraslap snap in a fever dream; Cowbell quarters, conga flow, Drop on the “and” and let it blow.

Chorus (bigger build) hide it, hide it, hide it hide it, HIDE IT… WHERE DID IT GO?

Bridge (half-time → ramp): If I chase it, it turns and grins; If I name it, it sheds its skin. Hold the breath on the “and” of two— Shout it back when the lights say “go!”

Solo (strings/horns ↔ guitar), then Final Double Chorus → Vamp (Stacks of “hide it…” cycling whisper→shout; ad-libs + vibraslaps riding the hits.) Tag: Where… did… it… go?
