Secret Loser
Ozzy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trapped in a lonely body I'm
Losin' control
Can't show my emotions and I'm
Losing my soul
Could it be that I'm obsessed
With feeding my disease
I couldn't make it know that
Hidden things that no one
Sees

Yeah loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser

Fighting a losing battle
Pretending to win
Repenting to holy unknowns
Pretending to sin
All i do is hide the wounds
Where blood just
Won't congeal
Couldn't ever take my soul
'Cause isn't there to steal

Yeah loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser

Though I'm the loser there is
No winner
There's nothing left to win
The hidden reasons now in
Deletion
Are lost in sin
So heed my warning the time is
Dawning
I'll tell you here's the twist
The truth is lying
Below the surface i don't exist

Loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser

Seeing is not believing it don't
Mean a thing
Although it appears to be that
The loser is king
I can understand that what
You see you think is real
But underneath the surface is
A wound that cannot heal

Yeah loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser




Loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Secret Loser" by Ozzy Osbourne paint a picture of a lonely person trapped in their own body, unable to express their emotions without losing control. The line "Could it be that I'm obsessed with feeding my disease" suggests the person is addicted to something, perhaps drugs or alcohol, which is causing their emotional turmoil. The use of the word "obsessed" implies that this addiction has taken over their life, and they are unable to break free. The person in the song is also hiding a secret, something so shameful or embarrassing that they can't even make it known. This secret is eating away at them, causing them to lose their soul.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Loser I'm a secret loser," emphasizing the person's sense of worthlessness and how they feel like they are losing the battle within themselves. They are pretending to win, but in reality, they are consumed by their addiction and unable to connect with others. The line "All I do is hide the wounds where blood just won't congeal" suggests that despite their efforts to hide their pain, it is still there, gnawing away at them.


The final stanza of the song reveals that the "truth is lying below the surface," and the person feels like they don't even exist. They are a "secret loser" who is unable to find happiness or fulfillment, even though they may appear successful to those around them. The song is a somber reminder that addiction and inner demons can consume a person's life, leaving them feeling alone and lost.
