secret
Melissa Totten Lyrics

The lyrics of Melissa Totten's song Secret are imbued with a sense of deep yearning and longing for someone. The singer seems to be struggling with their feelings of admiration and adoration towards this person, trying to contain them within themselves. The opening lines, "Si tu ressuscites / Un grain de granit / Du fond de la terre / Je saurai me taire / Si tu ressuscites / Un grain de granit / Je saurai me faire petite", speak to the depth of the singer's feelings. They suggest that if the person they're yearning for could bring life to a grain of granite, then they would be in awe and completely silent, not knowing how to express themselves. They would make themselves small and unnoticeable, in fear of their emotions being seen.

The middle lines of the song express the desire of the singer to be like a viper, perhaps in possession of the qualities that this animal is often associated with - stealth, cunning, and danger. They want to be like this and be around the object of their affections, whose "larges épaules pâles" (broad pale shoulders) they want to cling to. The singer is ready to understand and accept that their feelings will remain a secret and that they will suppress them if necessary, as long as they can be close to the person.

Overall, the lyrics of Secret convey a sense of intense yearning and desire, along with a fear of rejection, which prevents the singer from expressing their emotions fully.
