Secrets
Barbie Almalbis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sugar clouds falling down
You see the colors in the sound

I'll tell you all the secrets
There deep in the clouds
He's more than your wishes
Saying i love you
So loud

Your car airplanes learn to fly
And puzzle pieces you live to find

I'll tell you all the secrets
There deep in the clouds
He's more than your wishes
Saying i love you
So loud

A hundred kisses from day to day
But time is faster than words can say

Overall Meaning

In Barbie Almalbis's song Secrets, the first two lines convey a dreamlike state, where "sugar clouds" are falling down and the listener can "see the colors in the sound." This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is about secrets and hidden feelings. The chorus states "I'll tell you all the secrets, they're deep in the clouds" and refers to a love interest who is "more than your wishes, saying I love you so loud." This could refer to a secret relationship, or perhaps feelings that the singer is struggling to express.

The second verse continues with the dreamlike imagery, such as the idea of a car becoming an airplane and "puzzle pieces you live to find." This could signify the search for answers or the attempt to put together a complicated situation. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the importance of the secrets and the need for them to be shared. The final line "time is faster than words can say" adds a sense of urgency and the realization that things may need to be communicated quickly before it's too late.
