Made in Secret
Rainer Maria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

don't let me down this time.
i'm reaching out to you.
there is no reason why
we shouldn't end our fear of the dark
while the daytime's safe.

and i know it takes a lot of strength
to reach out, i tried to reach out.
and you turned to me
and you laughed in my face
and you told me no,
you can't stand my pain (or rage)
and i can't believe you
could be so selfish
when i hurt this much.





there is a secret i haven't told to anyone.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rainer Maria's song "Made in Secret" speak to the vulnerability and bravery that come with reaching out for help during times of darkness and pain. The singer expresses a deep desire for their partner to not let them down during this vulnerable moment of asking for support. They acknowledge that there is no reason why their fear of the dark can't end, especially since it is "safe" during the daytime. However, the singer also faces rejection and laughter from their partner when they try to reach out, causing them to feel disillusioned and hurt.


The final line of the song, "there is a secret i haven't told to anyone," adds a layer of secrecy and internal struggle to the narrative. It suggests that there is some deeper pain or trauma that the singer is grappling with, but hasn't yet found the courage to share. The lyrics ultimately convey a sense of loneliness, isolation, and hurt, as well as a longing for connection and understanding.
