"You keep looking but you can't find the words
Are you hiding in the trees."
But it's actually
"You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees"
The sad thing is I related more to the song before I knew what the lyrics were. I'm not quite sure what that line means.
It's a reference to the saying "can't see the forest for the trees". Skinny Puppy actually references the saying too, in "Neuwerld".
The saying basically means that you can't see the whole picture because you are too focused on the details, e.g. you can't see the entire forest because you're too focused on the individual trees.
