Life, broadly speaking, has two recurring movements: intake and output. Intake is material; output is expression and feeling. The album is called Hide-and-Seek (迷藏), and as I understand it, that’s exactly the meaning split across the two characters — 迷 (lost): lost in intake; 藏 (hidden): output hidden away. These days, are people just endlessly taking things in, while neglecting to put anything out? Maybe the relentless pursuit of “worldly success” really does come from a lack of security — but eat too much and your stomach swells, you throw up, you don’t want to move, and eventually you have to find some outlet to relieve it all.
