Secrets
Albert One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need some silence
?
Cause you were just a part
But now the fools
Can think about my heart
So what a secret's for
There's nothing left
Don't come to my front door
Everybody knows you?
You can escape by?
Everybody knows you're lying black and white
So what for
Everybody sees you're failing
What's going on right now
?
In Albert One's song Secrets, the singer is seeking some peace and quiet after a painful experience. The repetition of the "S" sound in the opening line "Sssssssssssssssssssecrets" creates a sense of unease or apprehension. The singer continues to express a desire for silence, perhaps in order to process his emotions or to distance himself from the situation. He then admits that the person who has caused him pain was once a part of his life, but now he only thinks about her foolishness and how she has affected his heart.
The tone of the chorus changes, however, as the singer declares that there is nothing left, and he does not want the person to come to his front door. The lyrics become more accusatory as he questions why the person would keep secrets now that their relationship is over. The line "Everybody knows you're lying black and white" suggests that the person has been deceptive in some way, and that their true motives are clear to everyone.
The final verse of the song adds a sense of urgency and confusion as the singer wonders what is really going on. He appears to be questioning his own perceptions as well as the actions of the person who has caused him pain. Overall, the song is a reflection on the aftermath of a failed relationship, and the emotions that arise when trust has been broken.

Sssssssssssssssssssecrets
The word 'secrets' spelled out with a hissing sound
I need some silence
I want peace and quiet
Cause you were just a part
You were once involved in my life
But now the fools
But foolish people now
Can think about my heart
Can speculate about my feelings
Now things are black
Now everything is bleak
So what a secret's for
What's the point of keeping a secret?
There's nothing left
There's nothing else to do
Don't come to my front door
Stay away from my house
Everybody knows you?
Do people really know you?
You can escape by?
Can you escape from reality?
Everybody knows you're lying black and white
People know you're lying without a doubt
So what for
Why bother?
Everybody sees you're failing
Everyone can see you're not succeeding
What's going on right now
What is currently happening?
