Secrets
❥ One Republic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
Til' all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
My God, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Send it straight to gold
I don't really like my flow, no, so
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that are like those years
Sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
Oh, got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can't blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'mma tell you everything
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that delight those ears
Sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away, all my secrets away

@@ifiminurhousethen I guess you can say that's the twist. I think this film was meant to show people what would happen if the roles were reversed in sexual abuse. Usually adults are the ones who do the abusing, not the children.
If you find this video was as disturbing, then imagine how worse it would be if the father was the one committing those evil acts upon his son.
It shows how powerless and helpless a victim can feel, how afraid they can be to ask for help, and how people who know about it may do nothing (maybe because of self-preservation, or denial that someone that they know and love can do such a thing).
Some related stats:
30-40% of victims are abused by a family member.
50% are abused by someone outside of the family whom they know and trust.

@sarapooka13
Whoever wrote this was clearly abused at some point unfortunately. It was written so perfectly and is the closest thing I've watched that makes you feel the real emotions of being abused in that way.
@jls72
And yet, other films have been made with the roles reversed, and do we feel those same sad emotions? Or did this film portrayal show us a side that produces more remorse?
@Ezra-artz
Ari aster. He wrote midsommar and herreditary
@wendyehi2579
Or he is simply a fantastic artist whose imagination is out of this world. A good one but the story chills me like why didn’t the dad use the rod at the early stage?
