What did they mean by "You've got to Hide your love away"

[HEyHEY]

I've never been one for deep poetry

1. You don't actually have to hide it away, per se...

you just need to store it safely in the overhead compartment until we've come to a complete stop.

2. I've heard that it has to do with Brian Epstein.

Only a rumor.

10. That's what I've always heard too

specifically, that it was written after a Monaco (maybe Spain) holiday that John and Brian took together, during which Epstein made an attempt at having a relationship.

3. Must've been much more profound than simply hiding your love.

At least, in this world in which we live in.

4. Literally, take the one you love and hide them. Preferably in a dark

basement or cave. Bind and gag if necessary.

5. Someone who does not have the guts to tell another that they love them

Don't hide your love away.

6. Somebody who doesn't have the guts to tell their partner they love another

Hey! hide that love away!

[Swede]

7. It means you bring out the cheap whiskey HEyHEy.

Save the good stuff for later.

8. I know what it means.

I just hide it away. :(
