Secrets
Adept Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It isn't easy when the world
Turns it back on you.

I am the fire burning down this scenery.
Honestly I never really thought you'd make
It this far.
This was all on me and I can't take it back.
You made me feel like I could
Take over the world.
But your words
Didn't mean a thing to me at time
But now I wish I could hear them once again.

Bring back my life.
retrace my steps.
Full speed ahead.
Don't back this out.

This was all on you
And you can't take it back.

The secret's out and all I hear is
The fire burning down our bridges.
Still I'd carry you home
Through the fire and the flames.
If you need me there you know I will be.

Can you honestly say that
I was the only one?
I can't think of anything worse than
To realize that I was just
The dead end of all yours options
When you where always on the
Top of my priorities.

This was all on us and we can't take it back.

The secret's out and all I hear is
The fire burning down our bridges.
Still I'd carry you home
Through the fire and the flames.
If you need me there you know I will be.

I can only speak for myself in this.
But I would regret not saying
What I came here to say:
I fucking miss you. I am on my knees.

The secret's out and all I hear is
The fire burning down our bridges.
Still I'd carry you home
Through the fire and the flames.
If you need me there you know I will be.




It doesn't matter if our bridges are burning
Cause if you need me there you know I will be.

Overall Meaning

The song "Secrets" by Adept seems to be about a relationship that has fallen apart due to miscommunication and secrets that were kept from one another. The lyrics express regret, longing, and a desire for things to be different. The opening lines set the tone for the song, speaking to the feeling of being abandoned or rejected, something that can be difficult to bear. The singer then moves into a more self-reflective place, expressing feelings of guilt and responsibility for what went wrong. They recognize their own role in the failure of the relationship and seem to accept that they cannot change what has happened.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of distance and separation, both physically and emotionally. The reference to bridges burning hints at a finality, and yet the singer still expresses a willingness to be there for the other person if needed. The last few lines of the song express a vulnerability and a raw emotion, admitting that they miss the other person and are willing to put themselves on the line to try to make things right.


Overall, the song captures the complexity of relationships and the pain that can come from feeling disconnected or misunderstood. It speaks to the human experience of love, loss, and regret, and offers a glimpse of hope that even when all seems lost, there may still be a chance to rebuild what has been broken.

It isn't easy when the world turns the back on you
I am the fire burning down this cigarette
Honestly I never really thought you'd make it this far

This was all on me, and I can't take it back

You made me feel like I could take your world away
But your words didn't mean a thing to me
In time I know I'll reach at the end of us again
Bring back my life
Retrace my steps
Full speed ahead, don't back this out

This was all on you, and you can't take it back

The secrets out and all I hear
Is the fire burning down our bridges
Still I carry you home through the fire and the flames
If you need me there you know I will be

Can you honestly say that I, I was the only one
You think your filthy words seem to realise
That I was lost at the end of all your options
When you were always on the top of my priorities

This was all on us, and we can't take it back

The secrets out and all I hear
Is the fire burning down our bridges
Still I carry you home through the fire and the flames
If you need me there you know I will be 

I can always speak for myself in this
But I won't regret not saying what I needed to say

I fucking miss you

I am on my knees
I am on my knees

The secrets out and all I hear
Is the fire burning down our bridges
Still I carry you home through the fire and the flames
If you need me there you know I will be
It doesn't matter if our bridges are burning, our bridges are burning
'Cause if you need me there you know I will be

@TehAcoz In a first moment I thought the new album gonna be a little softer because I heard really high cleans on the teasers. But if it sounds like death dealers it's gonna be the bomb! 

Infinite Knowledge
