秘密
東京事変 Lyrics

The song "秘密" by 東京事変 (Tokyo Incidents) speaks to the struggle to keep secrets from the world while indulging in one's own desires. The first verse describes a desire to remain silent about something, while the mouth "wields its power" for other purposes. The singer urges to stop using canned phrases from textbooks and to come quickly, for fear of being devoured by the night. In the second verse, the singer is unable to hear anything, but the ears are dancing elegantly in search of solitude. The singer turns off the television that is broadcasting tragic incidents to avoid feeling sad. The chorus speaks to the body as proof that one has experienced something - in this case, reaching the heights of ecstasy by drinking the night. The singer desires to make the most of the present moment but acknowledges that their loneliness is not unique. They wish to scratch at their bare skin, just for now.

The lyrics of the song speaks to the conflict between living a hidden life full of secrets and indulging in personal desires, while at the same time acknowledging one's own loneliness. It's a reflective and melancholic song that evokes a sense of mystery and longing. It's a song that can be interpreted in various ways, depending on the listener's own experiences.
