Salaisuus
Raaka-Aine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Minä tiedän salaisuutesi
Olet pitänyt sen kauan sisälläsi
Aikonut et sitä koskaan paljastaa
Mutta totuus vain hehkuu sinusta
Kuka onkaan tuo toinen mies
Joka sinut saa hymyilemään

Mikä minussa voi olla vikana

Järki alkaa kohta päästä jo paeta
Tiedän mitä siellä takana tapahtuu
Totuus satuttaa enemmän kuin mikään muu
Ripottelet suolaa haavoihin
Kieriskelen itsesäälissäni

En pysty sua silmiin katsomaan
En tahtoisi koskaan sinua satuttaa
Mutten pysty muuhunkaan
Mies ei puhu tunteistaan

Kaikki kaunis tulee joskus loppumaan
Niinhän saduissakin vanhoissa sanotaan
Kaksoiselämää ei kannata pelata
Sitä omatunto pysty ei salata
Miten ikinä me tähän jouduttiin
On aika sanoa hyvästi

En pysty sua silmiin katsomaan
En tahtoisi koskaan sinua satuttaa

Mutten pysty muuhunkaan
Mies ei puhu tunteistaan

The singer questions what could be wrong with them, as their sanity starts to escape them. They are aware of what is happening behind the scenes and how the truth hurts more than anything else.

They acknowledge that the man doesn't talk about his feelings, which adds another layer of complexity to their relationship. The song suggests that all beautiful things come to an end eventually, just like old fairy tales say. It cautions against leading a double life, as the conscience cannot remain hidden. The lyrics express the feeling of being trapped and confused about how they ended up in this situation and eventually convey the need to say goodbye.
