Secret Corners
Church Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drifting away
Is the only thing left to do
Such a sad place, such a lost world
But nothing is sadder
Than the tears of a make-believe girl
Who is this child, who is this man
Only two people
Who are doing all they can
Frost on the ground, the cruel winds of fate
Blow us forever
And I know there's just no escape
Run to the secret corners of your room
I'll still be waiting
I'll still be waiting
The song "Secret Corners" by Church is a melancholic piece that speaks of a person's longing to escape from their reality, but eventually realizing that there is no escape. The song starts by describing a person who is lying alone and drifting away, finding solace in the thought of going to a place where they can be themselves. The lyrics imply that this person is going through a difficult time and is trying to find an escape from all the pain and struggles of everyday life.
The chorus of the song goes on to describe the hope of finding some solace in the secret corners of one's room, the place where you can be yourself and find peace. However, the singer also acknowledges that no matter how much we may desire to escape our reality, we can never truly escape the "cruel winds of fate" and the inevitability of life's hardships.
Overall, the song is a poignant reminder that life is not always easy, and that sometimes we need to accept our reality and find strength within ourselves to face the struggles that come our way.
Line by Line Meaning
Lying alone, isn't that you
Are you not feeling lonely?
Drifting away
Becoming distant and isolated
Is the only thing left to do
Feels like the only option
Such a sad place, such a lost world
The world seems dark and hopeless
But nothing is sadder
No other feeling is more heartbreaking
Than the tears of a make-believe girl
Watching someone pretend to be happy while crying inside is worse
Who is this child, who is this man
Trying to figure out who they really are
Only two people
Just them against the world
Who are doing all they can
Trying their hardest to make it work
Frost on the ground, the cruel winds of fate
Facing challenging and unexpected circumstances
Blow us forever
Has lasting effects
And I know there's just no escape
Seems like there's no way out
Run to the secret corners of your room
Retreating to a safe space
I'll still be waiting
A promise to be there no matter what
