Dirty Little Secret
Bullet for My Valentine/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where everything was just so perfect
Now everything has changed
And you've become a total stranger
I see another side to you
I never even knew existed
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
Another taste is what you're looking for
There's nothing left so you can't take any more
You chewed me up and spat me on the floor
Straight for the throat you're like an animal
Before the kill, like you're an animal
Straight for the throat you're an animal
There once was a time
When anything I do is for you
But everything has changed
And I've become a lonely prisoner
I'd kill, even die for you
You never even tried resisting
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
Giving in to your primal instincts
Another taste is what you're looking for
There's nothing left so you can't take any more
You chewed me up and spat me on the floor
Straight for the throat you're like an animal
Before the kill, like you're an animal
Straight for the throat you're an animal
(You're an animal)
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
Another taste is what you're looking for
There's nothing left so you can't take any more
You chewed me up and spat me on the floor
Straight for the throat you're like an animal
Before the kill, like you're an animal
Straight for the throat you're an animal
Before the kill, like you're an animal
Straight for the throat you're like an animal

There once was a time
In the past, things were perfect between us
Where everything was just so perfect
All aspects of our relationship were flawless
Now everything has changed
Something has altered, things are not the same anymore
And you've become a total stranger
I don't recognize you anymore
I see another side to you
I have discovered a new and unsettling side to your personality
I never even knew existed
This is something I wasn't aware of before
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
You have been keeping unsavory things from me
Giving in to your primal instincts
You are letting your animalistic impulses control you
Another taste is what you're looking for
You are searching for additional stimulation
There's nothing left so you can't take any more
I have nothing more to give, I've been depleted
You chewed me up and spat me on the floor
You have consumed and discarded me, leaving me feeling worthless
Straight for the throat you're like an animal
You are fierce and aggressive in your actions
Before the kill, like you're an animal
You are focusing on the prey, consumed by the chase
You're an animal
You have lost all humanity and moral restraint
When anything I do is for you
My actions revolve around you
And I've become a lonely prisoner
I am trapped in a relationship that is not fulfilling
I'd kill, even die for you
I am deeply committed to you and your well-being
You never even tried resisting
You have not reciprocated my level of devotion
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
You have deceived me and kept things hidden
Another taste is what you're looking for
You are seeking new experiences and stimulation
Before the kill, like you're an animal
You are completely immersed in the pursuit
You're like an animal
You have become uncivilized and savage
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
You are hiding shameful or embarrassing things from me
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
You are keeping these secrets, even though they hurt our relationship
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
These secrets illustrate a darker side to your personality
Dirty little secrets, dirty little secrets
They are contributing to the breakdown of our relationship
