Keep the Secret
Dune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmm mmm mmm mmmmm, keep the secret
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmm, keep the secret
You've got to keep the secret
You've got to keep the secret

Trapped in silent golden wings
Secrets in a million ways
Read the symbols on the wall
Land of gods mystery
Tales been told to you and me
Kept in chains of fantasy

Mmm mmm mmm mmmmm, keep the secret
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmm, keep the secret
You've got to keep the secret
You've got to keep the secret

For a thousand years and more
Everyone is searching for
Secrets in their history
All this happened long ago
All the stories that we know
History goes on and on

Mmm mmm mmm mmmmm, keep the secret
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmm, keep the secret
You've got to keep the secret
You've got to keep the secret





Mmm mmm mmm mmmmm, keep the secret

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dune's song "Keep the Secret" are about the power and mystery of secrets that are passed down through the generations. The opening lines repeat the phrase "keep the secret" in a hypnotic, almost ritualistic way, implying that this is a sacred duty that must be taken seriously. The repetition also serves to emphasize the importance of what is being conveyed. The verses paint a picture of a world full of secrets and symbols, where ancient stories are kept alive and passed down from generation to generation. The lyrics suggest that these secrets are elusive and difficult to uncover, likening them to "trapped in silent golden wings" and "kept in chains of fantasy." The final verse acknowledges that the search for these secrets has been going on for centuries, and that the stories we know are just a small part of a much larger history.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of reverence for the power of secrets and the importance of preserving ancient knowledge. The song uses a simple melody and repetitive structure to create a meditative mood that emphasizes the sacredness of the subject matter.
