El Secreto
Polandria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no siento el miedo al miedo,
y no entiendo lo negro en el color.
Lento el secreto aumenta,
aquello que se transparenta,
que de lo oscuro se alimenta
quizás no alcance a ver la luz.
La cara se oculta noche y día,
su espectro quemando al mío,
engaña al cuerpo y a mi mente.
me juega el desanimo y domina,
se pierde mi eco en un cuento
y no puedo dejar de invocarlo.
Enormes los ojos que me miran,
no hay armas contra este infierno,
y aunque mi secreto cobra vida
no va a alcanzar a ver la luz.
Y aunque mi secreto cobra vida
no va a alcanzar a ver la luz.
In "El Secreto," Polandria delves into the complexities of holding onto a secret, the burden of which can weigh heavily on one's mind. The first verse describes how the singer is now a part of the secret, and this has rendered them immune to the fear of being afraid. However, they are unsure why things that are dark appear black in color. The second verse highlights how this secret has gradually taken over, and it is no longer something that can be seen through due to its darkness. The secret feeds on this obscurity, but there is hope that it may see the light of day.
The next lines speak about how the identity of the singer is concealed both day and night. The secret haunts their mind and body, affecting their morale and overwhelming them in the form of a tale that they cannot control. All of their emotions are redirected and tricked by this burden. Despite the weight of it all, there are still many people who look at the singer and their secret with critical eyes, but there is no way to fight against this inferno. The final lines are an acceptance that even though the secret may have a life of its own, it will never come out into the open.
Overall, "El Secreto" is an insightful look at the power of a secret and the way it can occupy all parts of life, with Polandria's lyrics providing a poetic and moving depiction of the struggles one can experience.
