Secret love
101 Strings Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things you do come back to yous as if they knew the way
On, the tricks your mind can play
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But i can't remember where or when
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again and so it seems we have met before
And laughed before and loved before but who knows where or when
The lyrics to 101 Strings Orchestra's "Secret Love" touch on the concept of déjà vu and the idea that sometimes things we experience can feel like we've lived them before. The first verse describes how actions we take in the present can feel like they are familiar, as if our minds are playing tricks on us by making us believe we've already lived this moment. The chorus then progresses to describe a feeling of having met and interacted with someone before, but not being able to remember the details of when or where it happened. The second verse brings it all full circle, noting that some experiences can feel like they are happening for the first time, yet still seem like we've already lived them before.
Overall, the song seems to be exploring the idea of the cyclical nature of life and the way that events, both good and bad, can repeat themselves with surprising frequency. The lyrics encourage the listener to embrace these experiences and perhaps even find a sense of comfort and familiarity in them.
