Secrets
Cold and The City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We?ll never let this see the light of day
But don't be afraid
Your secret's safe with me
And only Heaven knows how far we'll go
To keep them on their toes
And don't you dare be scared with sins to bare
I'll be the reason you're wrong
But I don't want to be the reason they find you out
Somebody's got it in for you
So don't make a sound, don't make a sound
Don't let them get the best of you, the best of you
They'll sink their teeth in if you let them catch you
And if these streets could talk
Then I'd know just what they'd say
"You're reckless at best
But you got carried away, you got carried away"
We can really be some devils
And these stories have a way of telling themselves
Are we done raising hell?
This time we'll keep the best ones for ourselves
I'll be the reason you're wrong
But I don't want to be the reason they find you out
Somebody's got it in for you
So don't make a sound, don't make a sound
Don't let them get the best of you, the best of you
They'll sink their teeth in if you let them catch you
This city was built on secrets
It's where all the good ones come from
You must have missed me
'Cause you don't have a thing to say
Every time I go away
So this is what we're up against
In this city of secrets
Oh my God, forgive me for who I'm not
We all steal looks when we can
Driving by the accident but we never stop
I'll be the reason you're wrong
But I don't want to be the reason they find you out
Somebody's got it in for you
So don't make a sound, don't make a sound
Don't let them get the best of you, the best of you
They'll sink their teeth in if you let them catch you
I'll be the reason you're wrong
But I don't want to be the reason they find you out
Somebody's got it in for you
So don't make a sound, don't make a sound
Don't let them get the best of you, the best of you
They'll sink their teeth in if you let them catch you
In "Secrets" by Cold and The City, the lyrics tell the story of two people who are keeping each other's secrets no matter what. The nature of these secrets is not revealed in the lyrics, but it's clear that they are significant enough to be kept hidden. The song also talks about the city they live in as a place full of secrets, where everyone is hiding something. The opening line "It's a shame we'll never let this see the light of day" sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer promises to keep his or her friend's secrets safe.
As the song progresses, the dangerous nature of these secrets becomes apparent. The singer warns his or her friend that "somebody's got it in for you," and that they need to be careful not to let their guard down. The image of sinking teeth and getting caught creates a sense of urgency and paranoia. The line "This city was built on secrets" suggests that this isn't an isolated incident, but rather a pervasive problem in their community.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer doesn't want to be the reason his or her friend gets caught, and that they need to be careful not to let their secrets slip. The lyrics overall paint a picture of a world where everyone is holding something back, where trust is hard to come by, and where a single misstep can lead to disaster.

It's a shame
We cannot let this be known to the public
We?ll never let this see the light of day
This secret will never be revealed
But don't be afraid
Don't worry, I won't reveal your secret
Your secret's safe with me
I promise I won't tell anyone about your secret
And only Heaven knows how far we'll go
We are willing to go to great lengths to keep this secret
To keep them on their toes
To keep others guessing and suspicious
And don't you dare be scared with sins to bare
Don't be afraid to reveal your wrongdoing to me
'Cause this is who we are
We are the type of people who keep secrets
I'll be the reason you're wrong
I will be the cause of your mistakes
But I don't want to be the reason they find you out
I don't want to be the one who exposes your secret
Somebody's got it in for you
Someone is trying to harm you
So don't make a sound, don't make a sound
Don't draw attention to yourself
Don't let them get the best of you, the best of you
Don't let them overpower you
They'll sink their teeth in if you let them catch you
They will harm you if you let them catch you
And if these streets could talk
If the city could speak
Then I'd know just what they'd say
I would know the city's secrets
"You're reckless at best
You are irresponsible and dangerous
But you got carried away, you got carried away"
You took things too far
We can really be some devils
We can be devious
And these stories have a way of telling themselves
The truth will eventually come out
Are we done raising hell?
Are we finished causing trouble?
This time we'll keep the best ones for ourselves
We will only share the secrets we choose to share
This city was built on secrets
The city thrives on secrets
It's where all the good ones come from
The best secrets are found here
You must have missed me
You didn't notice my absence
'Cause you don't have a thing to say
You have nothing to tell me
Every time I go away
When I am not around
So this is what we're up against
This is the challenge we are facing
In this city of secrets
In this city full of hidden truths
Oh my God, forgive me for who I'm not
I am asking for forgiveness for not being perfect
We all steal looks when we can
We all glance at things we shouldn't
Driving by the accident but we never stop
We witness unpleasant events but do nothing about it
I'll be the reason you're wrong
I will be the cause of your mistakes
But I don't want to be the reason they find you out
I don't want to be the one who exposes your secret
Somebody's got it in for you
Someone is trying to harm you
So don't make a sound, don't make a sound
Don't draw attention to yourself
Don't let them get the best of you, the best of you
Don't let them overpower you
They'll sink their teeth in if you let them catch you
They will harm you if you let them catch you
I'll be the reason you're wrong
I will be the cause of your mistakes
But I don't want to be the reason they find you out
I don't want to be the one who exposes your secret
Somebody's got it in for you
Someone is trying to harm you
So don't make a sound, don't make a sound
Don't draw attention to yourself
Don't let them get the best of you, the best of you
Don't let them overpower you
They'll sink their teeth in if you let them catch you
They will harm you if you let them catch you

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how good of a friend Dan was. He kept Laura in his heart and on his mind, and stayed determined to get her justice.
@lilymarinovic1644
Can we also take a moment to appreciate what a MASSIVE conflict of interest it is to have a police officer investigating the murder of a friend? And how irresponsible it is to assign such a case to a close friend of the victim?
@tiffinyhunter5901
He's a good man. I moved to Boro in spring 99 gor MTSU and learned of the case.
@MrBIGBULL88
and how terrible the Policing prior to him was.
