secret
Cadell Meryn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm here where I want to be
Seven thousand miles from infinity
No one knows where I am.
It's quiet here with me

I'm filling in the spaces where the killings used to be
There's no phone
And no way home

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time
I'm here

Where I want to be




Seven thousand miles from infinity
No one knows where I am but me

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the first verse and chorus of Cadell Meryn's song Secret. The song is about finding a place of peace and solitude, away from the chaos and noise of the outside world. The opening line, "I'm here where I want to be," suggests a sense of contentment and satisfaction with the current situation. The next line, "Seven thousand miles from infinity," is a clever way of saying that the singer is far away from everything and everyone, in a place where time and space seem to bend.


The next two lines, "No one knows where I am. It's quiet here with me," reinforce the idea that the singer is looking for a break from the world. There's a sense of freedom and anonymity in this place, where no one can find him. The following line, "I'm filling in the spaces where the killings used to be," adds some context to the singer's need to escape. He's been through something traumatic, and he's looking for a way to heal.


The chorus repeats the opening lines, "I'm here where I want to be. Seven thousand miles from infinity." This time, however, it's followed by the line "It's been a long time coming." This implies that the singer has been searching for this place for a while and that he's finally found it. The repetition of "It's been a long time" adds to the sense of relief and release that the singer is feeling.
