Afternoon Talk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but I just can't see the signs
that you really want me too
Cause I've been here for a very long time
I wish that you could see
What I've been doing
to get you a little, little bit close to me
but you just stand there
like you wouldn't care
and I just wait here
secretly shed a tear
Cause the roses are red and the violets are blue
Would you check to your back?
Cause I'm right behind you
The roses are red, the violets are blue
oh please, don't be mad
that I've been stalking you
In the song "Secretly" by Afternoon Talk, the singer expresses their unrequited love for someone who they have been hanging around for a "very long time." The first verse conveys the singer's desire to form a more significant connection with the person they are addressing, but they can't see any signs of reciprocation. They have been trying various tactics to get closer to that person, but it has been to no avail. The second verse is about the singer's frustration with the lack of reaction from the other person. They feel invisible and unnoticed, while the object of their affections seems indifferent. The chorus highlights the singer's ongoing attempts to get the other person's attention, even going as far as to stalk them, albeit secretly.
The lyrics in this song are quite disturbing, focusing on obsession and one-sided love. It depicts the singer's desperate and unhealthy infatuation with someone who doesn't feel the same way about them. Although it is not stated explicitly, the lyrics suggest that the singer is suffering from the inability to move on from this love interest, which is leading them to stalk in secret. The chorus could be interpreted as a threat, although it is not clear whether the singer intends it that way or not. It is a poignant reminder of how mental health issues such as obsession and stalking can manifest when someone is struggling with unrequited love.

I would love to come away with you
I am interested in being with you
but I just can't see the signs
I am unsure if you feel the same way
that you really want me too
that you have reciprocal feelings
Cause I've been here for a very long time
I have been around you for a while
I wish that you could see
I hope you notice
What I've been doing
The actions I have been taking
to get you a little, little bit close to me
To try and become closer to you
but you just stand there
However, you remain distant
like you wouldn't care
you appear to not care
and I just wait here
I patiently wait
secretly shed a tear
and sometimes cry in private
Cause the roses are red and the violets are blue
The environment is romantic
Would you check to your back?
Can you look back?
Cause I'm right behind you
I am following you
The roses are red, the violets are blue
Again, the romantic environment
oh please, don't be mad
Please don't be upset
that I've been stalking you
I have been focused on your activities
