Little Secrets
Passion Pit feat Scramz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I shook em up, the walls came crumbling
My fists kept trembling with these salty wounds
My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb
Now painting rainbows on my ugly face
I built this cardboard neighborhoods disgrace
But I ascend and serve my feverish need
It's the way I see
Everything I need
It's no way to be
Let this be our little secret
No one needs to know were feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
Up and up I keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
My face blew up at such a casual sight
The smattered colors of ecstatic fright
The rush above me to oblivion
Outlining wet sidewalks in halogen
Oh have you ever felt so goddamn strong
How come it takes some people so damn long
He tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
The citrus drawing out the scene in stains
Watch the basin drain
As your life lines wane
And you cant explain
As your friends complain
You've caused all this pain
And you proudly shame
Your whole families name
Let this be our little secret
No one needs to know were feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
Up and up I keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Mother I can tell what you've been thinking
Staring at the stars on your ceiling
Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
And now I've hit the mark
Stabbing at the dark
And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars
Let this be our little secret
No-one needs to know we're feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
But I feel alive and feel it in me
Up and up I keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Let this be our little secret
No one needs to know were feeling
Higher and higher and higher
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
Up and up and keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher
The lyrics to Passion Pit's "Little Secrets" can be interpreted in different ways, but one possible interpretation is that the song is about the singer's personal struggles and overcoming them. The first verse describes a moment of transformation and renewal, where the singer is shaken by something that breaks down the walls of their old self. The imagery of fists trembling with salty wounds and stolen gold inside the emperor's tomb suggests a powerful sense of change and loss.
The second verse has more upbeat and colorful lyrics, with the singer painting rainbows on their ugly face and building a cardboard neighborhood's disgrace. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for rebuilding their life from scratch and embracing their own imperfections. The chorus, "let this be our little secret, no one needs to know we're feeling higher and higher," suggests a sense of euphoria that comes from rising above one's problems and keeping them hidden.
The bridge of the song addresses the singer's mother and how she may have once had a sense of power, but now the singer is the one making their own mark and overcoming their hardships. The final chorus repeats the earlier themes of feeling alive and climbing higher and higher, reinforcing the idea that the singer has found a new sense of strength and purpose.
Line by Line Meaning
When I came down the dawn poured into me
As I woke up, I felt intensely energized and invigorated
I shook em up, the walls came crumbling
I rocked the establishment and saw it crumble under my influence
My fists kept trembling with these salty wounds
My hands shook with the pain of my past experiences
My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb
I possess something invaluable, something that I took from a powerful entity
Now painting rainbows on my ugly face
I am transforming myself, turning my perceived ugliness into something beautiful
I built this cardboard neighborhoods disgrace
I created a community that is looked down upon by society as cheap and flimsy
But I ascend and serve my feverish need
I rise above the mundane and devote myself to my inner obsessions
Within the confines of such chemistry
I am bound by the reactions and emotions that I experience within myself
It's the way I see
My perception of the world influences my actions
Everything I need
My desires and obsessions are what drive me
It's no way to be
I know my way of life is not the most conventional or healthy
Let this be our little secret
We don't need to advertise our unconventional ways to the world
No one needs to know were feeling
We don't need to share our emotions and struggles with others
Higher and higher and higher
Our obsessions and desires continue to escalate
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
My passions make me feel alive and fulfilled
Up and up I keep on climbing
I continue to push myself further and further towards my desires
My face blew up at such a casual sight
I was overwhelmed by something that should have been insignificant
The smattered colors of ecstatic fright
I experienced a wild and intense mix of emotions
The rush above me to oblivion
I felt a wild and overwhelming urge to let go and lose myself completely
Outlining wet sidewalks in halogen
My surroundings seemed to blur and blend together in a neon haze
Oh have you ever felt so goddamn strong
Have you ever felt a sense of invincibility or incredible strength?
How come it takes some people so damn long
Why do some people take so much longer to find their passions and desires?
He tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
He attempted to force something to happen, but it ultimately failed
The citrus drawing out the scene in stains
The event left a lasting impact and changed the course of things forever
Watch the basin drain
Observe the draining of something important or valuable
As your life lines wane
As you grow older and closer to your inevitable end
And you cant explain
You can't articulate the complexities of your inner desires
As your friends complain
As your loved ones criticize your way of life
You've caused all this pain
Your choices have impacted those around you negatively
And you proudly shame
You continue to passionately pursue your desires, despite the judgment of others
Your whole families name
Your unconventional lifestyle reflects badly on your family
Mother I can tell what you've been thinking
I know what you're thinking, Mom
Staring at the stars on your ceiling
You're pondering the vastness of the universe while lying in bed
Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
Remembering a time when you felt powerful and in control
And now I've hit the mark
I've achieved my goals and desires
Stabbing at the dark
Going after something without knowing exactly where it is
And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars
I can't help but disregard the judgment of those who have seen the emotional toll of my pursuits

At first, I thought that intense stare was because she wanted to go over and fight someone....but that may just be because I recently saw a video clip of wheelchair boxing haha
@georgemccune2923
4 others ended up in a wheelchair after that night when she rolled into the pit. So at the next show there then 5 people in wheelchairs who proceeded to the stage and rolled into the crowd. The show following that their were then 20 people in wheelchairs who proceeded to the stage to wheel into the crowd. When the 80 people in wheelchairs arrived at the show following that everybody knew shit was about to get crazy.... By the end of that tour this bands fans would be collectively known as THE PARALEGIANCE, in recognition of the allegiance of paraplegic fans so dedicated to their favorite band.
