The Secret Window
Oceans Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're only blood and bones
You look like a coffin to me
(Lies, that's what you're made of)
(Filth, that's what you're made of)
(Greed, that's what you're made of)
And my voice is the one that you're afraid of each
Lies, that's what you're made of
Filth, that's what you're made of
Greed, that's what you're made of
And my voice is the one that you're afraid of
Welcome to the end
I'll show you where I stand
If you don't wanna pretend
Be my enemy
Take my peace of mind
There's no wrong and right
When the world is blind
Come and take my place
Become your own disgrace
I know I can't save your race
And I never will
Feel my biggest fear
Before they all disappear
Why would I care
When the end is near
They tried to chase me
And exceed me
Tried to take me
When you need me
Tried their best
To prove me wrong
Now better part of me is gone
All I had before is slowly falling
Straight to nowhere
This show is over now
Why would I care
When the end is near
Tell me
Why would I care
When the end is near
The end is near
Leave me alone and let the poet go
You're only soil and stones
The same as centuries ago
Leave me alone and set the poet free
You're only blood and bones
You look like a coffin to me
All I had before is slowly falling
Straight to nowhere
This show is over now
They tried to chase me
And exceed me
Tried to take me
When you need me
Tried their best
To prove me wrong
Now better part of me is gone
Welcome to the end
I'll show you where I stand
If you don't wanna pretend
Be my enemy
Take my piece of mind
There's no wrong and right
When the world is blind
Welcome to the end
I'll show you where I stand
If you don't wanna pretend
Be my enemy
Feel my biggest fear
Before they all disappear
Why would I care
When the end is near
The lyrics of "The Secret Window" by Oceans Red are full of symbolism and leave a lot of room for interpretation. The song begins with the singer asking to be left alone so that their creativity can be set free. They then turn to address someone who represents lies, filth, and greed, who they seem to fear. The repetition of the line "my voice is the one that you're afraid of" suggests that the singer feels powerful and may even be taking a stand against this person.
In the chorus, the singer welcomes the end and shows where they stand, inviting the listener to be their enemy and take their peace of mind. They express a sense of moral ambiguity, suggesting that there is no right or wrong when the world is blind. The bridge of the song speaks to the singer's fears of disappearing and being chased and taken away by others. However, they express a sense of resignation and indifference towards the end, implying that they have already accepted their fate.
Overall, the song seems to be about a struggle between creativity and conformity, as well as a critique of society's values and morals. The imagery of a coffin and blood and bones suggests a sense of death and decay, while the repetition of the words "lies," "filth," and "greed" suggest that the singer is accusing society of being deceitful and corrupt.
Line by Line Meaning
Leave me alone and set the poet free
Stop bothering me and let me express myself
You're only blood and bones
You're just like everyone else
You look like a coffin to me
You remind me of death
(Lies, that's what you're made of)
You only tell lies
(Filth, that's what you're made of)
You're full of filth and dirt
(Greed, that's what you're made of)
All you care about is money and power
And my voice is the one that you're afraid of each
You're scared of what I have to say
Welcome to the end
This is the end of the line
I'll show you where I stand
I'll make my position clear
If you don't wanna pretend
If you're not willing to be honest
Be my enemy
I'll treat you like a foe
Take my peace of mind
You're disturbing my inner peace
There's no wrong and right
Morality is subjective
When the world is blind
In a world where everyone is clueless
Come and take my place
You can have my spot
Become your own disgrace
You'll ruin your reputation
I know I can't save your race
I can't fix your problems
And I never will
I won't even try
Feel my biggest fear
Experience my greatest concern
Before they all disappear
Before everything is gone
Why would I care
What difference does it make to me?
When the end is near
When everything is about to collapse
They tried to chase me
Others attempted to catch me
And exceed me
And surpass me
Tried to take me
Tried to take away what I have
When you need me
Only when it's convenient for you
Tried their best
Did everything in their power
To prove me wrong
To show I'm incorrect
Now better part of me is gone
I lost a part of myself through that experience
All I had before is slowly falling
Everything I held dear is slipping away
Straight to nowhere
Leading me nowhere
This show is over now
It's time to end this charade
Tell me
Inform me
Why would I care
Why should I give a damn?
The end is near
The end of everything is approaching

2019 and still my jam

The electronic choices for this song is incredibly unique for a metalcore band. Usually i hear this in DDR, Japanese music, or hardstyle. To hear it in this is really incredible. They sort of sound like Blood Stain Child if they were metalcore instead of melodeath.
Gino Simplicio
It’s weird reading past comments I’ve made that I don’t remember actually making. 🤣
Gino Simplicio
Finally! A metalcore band that's actually being unique with the electronic sounds. I dig it.
