Magdalena Bay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna tell you everything about me
I don't wanna feed more oxygen to
Your fire, your fire
La la la la la
Online, anytime
Getting lost again
Make another friend
You think you know me
Wanna show me that you're super in the know
Getting lost again
But I might lose my mind
(La la la la la)
Secrets
I don't wanna tell you everything about me
I don't wanna feed more oxygen to
Your fire, your fire
La la la la la
Sickness
I just need to give you everything about me
I don't need to feed more oxygen to
Your fire, your fire
La la la la la
One time, two more times
Getting lost again
You're like just what I like
Make another friend
You think you know me
Wanna show me that you're super in the know
Getting lost again
My third eye prototype (pull me into your world)

I don't need to feed more oxygen to
Your fire, your fire

Magdalena Bay's "Secrets" is a song about privacy and the need to keep some things hidden away. The lyrics reveal the singer's reluctance to divulge too much about herself, fearing that it would only fuel the listener's curiosity. The line "I don't wanna feed more oxygen to your fire" implies that the more information shared, the more intense the listener's interest becomes. The song mentions getting lost in the online world and making new connections, but the singer also admits to feeling overwhelmed and at risk of losing her mind.
The chorus is repeated twice in the song, emphasizing the singer's desire to keep her secrets safe. However, towards the end of the song, the lyrics take a turn. Instead of resisting the listener's probing, the singer announces that she is ready to share "everything" with them. The final lines of the song, "No secrets anymore", suggest a sense of liberation from the weight of keeping information hidden.
In essence, "Secrets" is a song about boundaries and the power dynamics that come with sharing information about oneself. The lyrics show a struggle between the desire for privacy and the need to connect with others. Magdalena Bay's use of catchy melodies and upbeat music contrasts with the poignant theme of the song, making it a thought-provoking and enjoyable listen.

Well yeah, but have you ever heard this from someone who is worth you conversing with?
Art is subjective and all, but Most people are ignorant as fuck

SAY IT AGAIN. Whenever I pull great modern artists out after someone says that, it's nothing but shock and awe. Folks just act lazy in the name of nostalgia sometimes.

This has to be one of the most interesting and exciting musical discoveries I've made in quite some time. Everything from the composition, production, and aesthetics, it's all so damn good. Wishing all the success in the world to these two and their team.

This reminds me a lot of "pc music", you might want to check out the whole project. Also Dorian Electra is this same kind of campy internet silliness.
