Secrets
One Republic (Eric Wuest) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
Til' all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
My God, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Send it straight to gold
I don't really like my flow, no, so
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that are like those years
Sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
Oh, got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can't blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'mma tell you everything
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that delight those ears
Sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away, all my secrets away
The song "Secrets" by One Republic (Eric Wuest) speaks about the concept of needing to confess one's secrets to someone. The lead singer talks about how he feels the need to get something off his chest, since his life has become monotonous, and he wants to share his truths. The lyrics express the need for genuine communication and the desire to be honest with oneself and others. The lines, "Tell me what you want to hear, something that will light those ears" express the need for a connection between the singer and the listener, and for that connection to be meaningful and true.
Moreover, the song highlights the societal issues that we face today. The line, "And everyday I see the news, all the problems that we could solve" speaks of the desire to use music as a medium to address social issues and make a difference. The song also questions the legitimacy of those in power, "Who's driving shiny big black cars?" This statement suggests that there are people who use their power and privilege to drive fancy cars, rather than helping those in need. The song aims to take away the facade that people put up, and lay bare the struggles and issues that we all face on a daily basis.
