Secret Love
Bille the Vision & the Dancers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you mind if I take of my glasses
and turn blind for the rest of the night
Would you put them back on in the morning
if you're still here

I won't mind if you take of your glasses
I'll put them back on when you're awake
It's ironic that you can not use
the most beautiful eyes that I've seen

There's something about you that I love
Might be your fingers, your teeth, I don't know
or the jokes that you tell after midnight
when we're the only ones awake

And we laughed and we laughed and we laughed again
and we cried and we cried and we cried
cause the secret love that we had
was tearing us apart

And my paintings were always important
your were the very first one to see
I counted sheep for a week cause I couldn't sleep
Your reaction was a crossroad to me

We fell asleep just an hour before daylight
we woke up by a cat in our bed
It jumped in from our open window
it scared the youth out of you and me





And we laughed...

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of "Secret Love" by Bille the Vision & the Dancers, the singer starts by asking their partner if they would mind if they took off their glasses and went blind for the night, symbolizing vulnerability and intimacy. They also ask if their partner would put the glasses back on in the morning if they are still there, showing a sense of trust and reliance on each other. This gesture highlights the idea of letting go of barriers and experiencing a deeper connection, even if it means temporary blindness.


In the following verse, the singer expresses willingness to reciprocate the vulnerability by not minding if their partner takes off their glasses, promising to put them back on when they awaken. The mention of the irony in not being able to see the partner's beautiful eyes without glasses suggests an underlying theme of appreciating each other's unique qualities and flaws, beyond just physical appearance.


The lyrics then delve into the reasons why the singer loves the partner, citing attributes like their fingers, teeth, and sense of humor. The late-night jokes shared between the two create a bond that thrives in the quiet moments when they are the only ones awake, implying a deep connection and understanding between them that is unique and special.


As the song progresses, a shift occurs as the joy and laughter that once filled their relationship is contrasted with tears and the realization that their secret love is causing a rift between them. This emotional struggle is palpable as they navigate the complexities of their relationship, with the secrecy of their love becoming a source of pain that threatens to tear them apart, highlighting the challenges that come with hidden feelings and unspoken emotions.


The conclusion of the lyrics brings a sense of reality into the narrative, as the couple is interrupted by a cat jumping into their bed through an open window. This unexpected intrusion startles them awake, breaking the intimacy of the moment and injecting a dose of humor into the scenario. The juxtaposition of laughter, tears, and surreal moments like this one captures the complexity and unpredictability of love, leaving the listener with a bittersweet reflection on the joys and struggles of relationships.
