Secret
Pur:Pur Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Energy within
We’re hiding something
From an eye of a stranger
To you I might say everything
I could push you to sin
Releasing your inner anger

I lie, I’m unfaithful
I treat you as if I don’t care at all
My secret is something you’ll never know
It’s cold. It’ll fade into me as snow.

Nononononononononono…Nothing is to hide

It’s coming through the walls
Killing all the thoughts
Dirty secrets, brutal…
Every human being
Considers that no one should know
What he’s hiding.
Revealing other’s secrets
We feel relief
But to tell you the truth
That’s not where happiness is.

Nononononononononono…Nothing is to hide…
Hide your secret
Hide it deeper
Let it be yours




Without any one’s control…
Nothing is your secret

Overall Meaning

The song "Secret" by Pur:Pur appears to be addressing the idea of secrets being a part of human nature. The verse "Energy within, We’re hiding something" starts the song off with a simple statement, stating that humans tend to keep secrets, both big and small. It continues with the idea of hiding secrets from external forces, such as strangers, but possibly disclosing secrets to those one is close to. The chorus holds a sense of guilt, as the singer confesses to lying and being unfaithful, although the secret they hold goes far beyond simply cheating in a relationship. Whatever the singer's secret may be, it is something that they will take with them to the grave, cold and fading away like snow.


The second verse takes on the idea of secrets being ubiquitous, as everyone has something they hide from the world. Meta-secrets and spreading rumors about others come in to play. The idea that revealing other people's secrets ultimately gives a sense of relief, however, true happiness can't be found in that. The repetition of "Nothing is to hide" throughout the song could be interpreted as a societal pressure to be completely transparent, but as the song concludes with the line "Nothing is your secret," it could be promoting the idea that secrets are okay and should be kept without anyone else's control.
