Secrets
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do we reveal?
Make that decision every day
What is wrong with me
It's what's wrong with you
There's just so much I wanna say
I like to make-believe with you
That we always speak the truth ish
I like how we pretend the same
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Play this silly little game
Hey!
I've got some things to say
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
It's written on my face
It's gonna be hard to swallow
(Everybody's got a secret)
I got some things to say
(Everybody's got a secret)
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's written on my face
(Everybody's got a secret)
I let the walls come down
I let the monster out
And it's coming after me (after me)
Do you feel exposed
Where it hurts the most?
Can you wear it on your sleeve?
I like to make-believe with you
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
That we always speak the truth ish
I like how we pretend the same
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Play this silly little game
Hey!
I've got some things to say
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
It's written on my face
It's gonna be hard to swallow
(Everybody's got a secret)
I got some things to say
(Everybody's got a secret)
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's written on my face
(Everybody's got a secret)
Put it in the closet
Lock the doors
I'm wondering which one is worse
Is it mine or is it yours
Put it in the closet
Lock the doors
Wondering which one is worse
I'll show mine if you show yours
I'll show mine if you show yours
Ah, he-he-hey!
(Everybody's got a secret)
I got some things to say
(Everybody's got a secret)
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's written on my face
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's gonna be hard to swallow
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do

In "Secrets," P!nk discusses the idea of hiding one's true self while simultaneously desiring to reveal it to others. She poses the questions, "What do we conceal? What do we reveal?" and suggests that the decision to do one or the other is made every day. P!nk recognizes that everyone has secrets and things they hide from others, but she also has a desire to be vulnerable and authentic with someone she trusts. She sings, "I've got some things to say / 'Cause there's a lot that you don't know / It's written on my face / It's gonna be hard to swallow," suggesting that she wants to open up but is aware that it may be challenging or uncomfortable. Throughout the song, P!nk also touches on the idea of playing games and pretending with others, even if it means not always telling the truth.
While "Secrets" is about wanting to be honest with someone and reveal your true self, it also acknowledges that exposing oneself can be scary and even threatening. P!nk sings, "I let the walls come down / I let the monster out / And it's coming after me," suggesting that revealing oneself can feel like letting a monster out of its cage. She also asks, "Can you wear it on your sleeve?" implying that being vulnerable and expressing one's true feelings can make you feel exposed and vulnerable.
Overall, "Secrets" is a powerful exploration of the human desire to connect and be honest with others while also recognizing the fear and discomfort that comes with being vulnerable.

P!nk is probably one of the only artists whoโs stayed true to herself throughout her career
@jessali_
So true! Her music is always modern (I guess it's timeless), but it is always still her music, her style. Most artists who were big in the early 2000s now sound nothing like they used to.
@fupaymeman8955
Negative she was all R&B on her first album when she was with LA Reed. After that when she want all Pop,that's when I think she was true to herself. I like Pink when she first came out and I like her now she's a good writer and she's very talented I can sing her ass off. So no matter what style she decides to sing in she rocks it.
@HogwartsAlum.
Agreed, she allowed herself to evolve and went with it. Always raw beauty but stylistically it matched where she was in life at the time
@boy4pele420
Word. Love her.
@captaincringe7707
Sax Uhuy eh, she was good in the late 00โs.
@stephklove
Im sure im no the only one who thinks Pink is just smokin in this. ๐ฅ
