Secrets
Puracane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one more
And no one less
It was all in our minds
And you saw right through me
It was all in a time more innocent
You've learned to hide so well
No comforting confessions
Left to tell
Hands untied
You're free to follow
All these spies
I'm glad I'm dead
It was always a crime
That you never knew me
It was all in a time more innocent
Your secrets, you need them
You've learned to hide so well
No comforting confessions
Left to tell
Your secrets, you need them
You've learned to hide so well
No comforting confessions
Left to tell
It was all a time more innocent
It was always a crime more innocent
Your secrets, your secrets
The lyrics of Puracane's song Secrets highlight the singer's realization of their own immorality and their reflections on a past innocence that they can no longer access. The opening lines, "When did I get so immoral / No one more / And no one less," suggest a sense of shame and self-judgment. The following lines, "It was all in our minds / And you saw right through me / It was all in a time more innocent," imply that the singer is processing the realization that their previous perception of innocence was a mental construct that they have now shattered. The phrase "you saw right through me" also suggests that the singer feels exposed and vulnerable.
The chorus, "Your secrets, you need them / You've learned to hide so well / No comforting confessions / Left to tell," speaks to the theme of secrecy and hiding that runs throughout the song. The singer seems to be addressing someone who has become adept at keeping their secrets hidden, perhaps implying that they themselves have a similar skill. The lack of "comforting confessions" further reinforces the idea that there is no easy path to absolution or release from the burden of secrecy.
The final lines of the song, "It was all a time more innocent / It was always a crime more innocent / Your secrets, your secrets," suggest that the singer is still grappling with the concept of innocence and guilt, and that there may be no clear answers or resolution to these questions.
