secret
Computer Magic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I travel supersonic
I live a second life
As the plates move, tectonic
Begin to lose my sight

Something that I always wanted
But I was never allowed
What is it that we just started
We need to figure it out

So it's a secret
I'll try and keep it close so I don't cry
So I don't cry
Tired of the feeling
Stare at the ceiling
Then close my eyes
Then close my eyes

So it's a secret
I'll try and keep it close so I don't cry
So I don't cry
Tired of the feeling
Stare at the ceiling
Then close my eyes
Then close my eyes

Am I existing somewhere
With you right by my side
Somewhere where people don't care
Stop putting up a fight

I could see it happening
Before you even knew
Is it because I'm chosen
The one i choose is you

So it's a secret
I'll try and keep it close so I don't cry
So I don't cry
Tired of the feeling
Stare at the ceiling
Then close my eyes
Then close my eyes

So it's a secret
I'll try and keep it close so I don't cry
So I don't cry
Tired of the feeling
Stare at the ceiling
Then close my eyes
Then close my eyes

So it's a secret
I'll try and keep it close so I don't cry
So I don't cry
Tired of the feeling
Stare at the ceiling




Then close my eyes
Then close my eyes

Overall Meaning

In Computer Magic's song Secret, the lyrics describe the feeling of living a double life as the singer travels supersonic and lives a second life. As they experience the movement of the Earth's plates, they begin to lose sight of their true identity. The singer admits to wanting something they were never allowed to have and now that they have it, they need to figure it out. The repeated refrain of "So it's a secret, I'll try and keep it close so I don't cry" suggests a fear of vulnerability and a need to hide the truth from others.


The lyrics also suggest a desire for connection and a sense of belonging as the singer wonders if they exist somewhere with their chosen partner where people don't care and they can stop putting up a fight. The line "I could see it happening, before you even knew" implies a sense of intuition and perhaps even foresight on the singer's part.


Overall, the lyrics of Secret convey a complex mix of emotions and desires, from wanting to keep a secret to a longing for connection and the struggle to figure out one's place in the world.


Line by Line Meaning

I travel supersonic
I move with great speed and swiftness


I live a second life
My life is divided into two parts


As the plates move, tectonic
The movement of the earth's crust causes a disturbance


Begin to lose my sight
I am starting to lose my focus on things


Something that I always wanted
There is something that I have always desired


But I was never allowed
But I was never given permission to pursue it


What is it that we just started
What is this new thing that we have just begun


We need to figure it out
We need to come to a better understanding of it


So it's a secret
This is something that I don't want others to know about


I'll try and keep it close so I don't cry
I am going to be very careful not to reveal it so that I won't be upset


Tired of the feeling
I am sick and tired of how I feel about this situation


Stare at the ceiling
I spend time looking at the ceiling, lost in thought


Then close my eyes
I shut my eyes and try to relax


Am I existing somewhere
Is there a place where I am truly alive and happy


With you right by my side
Are you with me in this ideal place


Somewhere where people don't care
A place where people are not judgemental


Stop putting up a fight
Stop resisting and just embrace the unknown


I could see it happening
I had a vision of this happening before it became a reality


Before you even knew
Before you had any idea about it


Is it because I'm chosen
Is this happening to me because I was destined for it


The one i choose is you
You are the one I have picked for this journey
