Secret World
Desdemonia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost in my pride
I run aimless blind
The Truth I cannot find
Don't try to hurt me
Burried goodness inside me
The lyrics to Desdemonia's song Secret World seem to be about a person who is struggling to find their true identity and purpose in life. The opening lines "Swim against the tide, Lost in my pride" suggest that the person is going against the mainstream and is proud to be different. However, this has left them feeling lost and confused, as they are unable to find their true path. They feel as if they are running blindly and cannot see the truth that they are searching for. The last line in the verse "The Truth I cannot find" emphasises this ongoing search for meaning.
The chorus of "Don't try to hurt me" suggests that the person is vulnerable and is asking others to be kind to them. The second part of the chorus "Buried goodness inside me" suggests that even though the person may be struggling with their identity, they still have a kindhearted nature underlying their struggles.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability, uncertainty and a search for one's true identity. The person is trying to figure out who they are, and what their purpose in life may be. The chorus suggests that even though they may be struggling, they still have a good heart and are asking others to be kind to them.
