Shade -- Silverchair

If you're hurt,  Why don't you tell someone,  Don't feel bad,
You're not the only one, yeah,   Don't go hiding,    Hiding, in the shade,
Don't go hiding,   Hiding, in the shade,

If you were abused,  Find someone to help you,  I know you were used,
What are you gonna do?    Don't go hiding,  Hiding, in the shade,
Don't go hiding,   Hiding, in the shade,

Don't go hiding,   Hiding, in the shade,  Don't go hiding,  Hiding, in the shade,
Hiding, hiding, don't go, Hiding, hiding, hiding, in the shade,
Yeah, in the shade, in the, in the shade,   in the shade, in the shade.          (sing365)

This song could be about the pressure people go through when they are being bullied at school and otherwise tormented. It is more evident in the chorus itself: "Don't go hot in the shade" means don't wander around in places where you could get teased or bullied. In other words, the "Shade" could mean places where popular kids hand out and is therefore the hardest place to handle in terms with joining in and trying to be friends.           (songfacts)
