secret
Madam Adam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, there it is
My own ambition's laying on the floor
Always feeling like there's something
Leaving me wanting more

Is it plain enough to see how can I be so naive?
As plain as the chemical but the chemical is no good
I gave you satisfaction, don't say a single word
I won't tell anybody, the secret stays with me

So hit the run and dare
Never meant to be understood
I never walk away
Form anything with anything good

Is it plain enough to see, how can I be so naive?
I know it's pretty bad but it's pretty far so good
I gave you satisfaction, don't say a single word
I won't tell anybody, the secret stays with me

Just gave into the pressure
We knew it'd never work
I won't tell anybody
The secret stays with me

I know, I know, I know something
I know something that you know
I know, I know, I know something
Too late to forgive, it's too late

I gave you satisfaction, don't say a single word
I won't tell anybody, the secret stays with me

Just gave into the pressure
We knew it'd never work
I won't tell anybody
The secret stays with me

I know, I know, I know something
I know something that you know




I know, I know, I know something
Too late to forgive

Overall Meaning

Madam Adam's song "Secret" is about the struggles of fame and ambition, and the pressure to keep up appearances. The lyrics describe the feeling of always wanting more, even if you have already accomplished so much. The singer reveals that their own ambition is lying on the floor, indicating that their drive has been worn out. However, they still feel like there is something missing, and they are not satisfied. The chemistry between them and another person is also described, but it is tainted by the fact that it is a secret. The singer gave the other person satisfaction without wanting any recognition or even acknowledgement.


The lyrics also reveal a sense of resignation, like the singer has given up on trying to make anything work. They "never meant to be understood" and "never walk away from anything with anything good." They feel naive, like they should have known better. The secret they share with the other person is the only thing they have left, the only thing that remains hidden and in their control. They know something that the other person knows, but it is now "too late to forgive."


Overall, "Secret" is a melancholic song that reflects on the perils of chasing after fame and success, and the sacrifices that come with it. It also explores the complexities of human relationships, and how secrecy can both bring people closer and push them apart.
