Secret Love
J.A.Q. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free

So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I am so in love with you

Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils





At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore

Overall Meaning

In the song "Secret Love" by J.A.Q., the singer reminisces about a hidden and precious feeling that they had concealed within themselves in the past. A profound and intimate emotion resided deep in the singer's heart, unseen and unspoken, forming the essence of their existence. However, as time passed, this secret love began to yearn for liberation, growing restless and eager to break free from the shadows.


The singer describes how they eventually decided to confide in a "friendly star," metaphorically opening up to the universe and sharing their deepest desires and affections. This act of vulnerability is likened to the way dreamers often pour out their hearts and hopes into the cosmos, seeking understanding and solace in the vast expanse of space. The singer expresses the incomparable wonder of their beloved and articulates the reasons behind the consuming love they feel for them.


As the confession unfolds, the singer proceeds to proclaim their love openly, amplifying their declaration to reach the highest peaks and beyond. Not only do they confide in celestial bodies like stars, but they also extend their revelations to earthly elements such as the golden daffodils, symbolizing the universal and boundless extent of their love. The once hidden emotion that dwelled in the depths of the singer's being is now brought to light and exposed to the world, shimmering with newfound clarity and transparency.


In the concluding lines of the song, the singer revels in the emancipation of their heart as they declare that their secret love is no longer veiled in secrecy. The transformation is significant as the formerly secluded feeling is now embraced openly, leading to a sense of liberation and freedom. By casting aside the shroud of secrecy, the singer celebrates the emergence of their love into the open, a revelation that brings joy, fulfillment, and a sense of completeness. The journey from concealment to disclosure symbolizes a profound emotional awakening and a courageous step towards authentic self-expression and connection.


Line by Line Meaning

Once I had a secret love
I used to hold a hidden love within me


That lived within the heart of me
Which resided deep inside my heart


All too soon my secret love
But before long, my concealed love


Became impatient to be free
Started craving to be revealed


So I told a friendly star
Thus, I confided in a welcoming star


The way that dreamers often do
Just like how dreamers tend to


Just how wonderful you are
Expressing your amazing qualities


And why I am so in love with you
And the reasons behind my profound love for you


Now I shout it from the highest hills
Now I boldly proclaim it to the world


Even told the golden daffodils
I even shared it with nature's beautiful creations


At last my heart's an open door
Finally, my heart is fully open


And my secret love's no secret anymore
And my hidden love is no longer a secret
