about

This song is about the game of cosmic hide and seek and the same game that we play with ourselves daily.

It was inspired by the concepts of Hindu philosophy Lila (Leela) and Maya, where Lila represents divine play, a dramatic act and Maya represents the illusion.

"When one accepts entry into the game as a player, awareness of unity is lost in the obsession (fascination) of play. This taking-over of consciousness is the fun of play. The one becomes many, to play a game of cosmic hide-and seek with itself."


Here is a quote by Alan Watts that I think summarizes it perfectly:

“God likes to play hide-and-seek, but because there is nothing outside of God, he has no one but himself to play with! But he gets over this difficulty by pretending that he is not himself. This is his way of hiding from himself. He pretends that he is you and I and all the people in the world, all the animals, plants, all the rocks, and all the stars. In this way he has strange and wonderful adventures, some of which are terrible and frightening. But these are just like bad dreams, for when he wakes up they will disappear.
Now when God plays "hide" and pretends that he is you and I, he does it so well that it takes him a long time to remember where and how he hid himself! But that's the whole fun of it-just what he wanted to do. He doesn't want to find himself too quickly, for that would spoil the game. That is why it is so difficult for you and me to find out that we are God in disguise, pretending not to be himself. But- when the game has gone on long enough, all of us will WAKE UP, stop pretending, and REMEMBER that we are all one single Self- the God who is all that there is and who lives forever and ever.”

lyrics

Deep in a storytelling and dramas of the past
Distracted, we're neglecting the Truth of who we are
What if it's star dust, the God behind the masks,
Personas and identities, Great Spirit in disguise?

Who is it ever-present, unseen within our sells,
The one and only answer that's questioning itself?
Still hide and seek we play, hide and seek we play
Hide and seek we play, forgetting that it's just a game.

Game
The same old game we play
Game
And entertained along the way we stay

Too tired of pretending to be poor little me
The Soul awaits for ascending into awakening
Back to the stardust, the wisdom and the trust
Back to the Truth that hides behind our seeking eyes

I know I know I know who you are
I know I know I know who you are
I know I know I know who you are

In this Game
The same old game we play
Game
And entertained along the way we stay

Destruction and creation
Unlimited potential
Illusions - they will fade
Unveiling the direction to our Divine connection
That goes beyond the rules we've made

Hide and seek we play
Hide and seek we play
Hide and seek we play forgetting that
It's just a Game

The same old game we play
Game
And entertained along the way we stay
