Ryan Inglis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could you be strong and hide it from the world?
Or would it burn a hole in your mind
And spend most of its time with a view
From the tip of your tongue
Could you find the right words?
Or end up not knowing what to say?
Should the truth stay concealed
Or would it make much more sense
To remain on this fence and leave
Leave this story's characters be
'Cause rumours could lead to grief
A secret stays a secret with me
I know something you don't know
Did you make the right choice?
Or is the cat out of the bag again?
Did the actions you take
Lead to sadness and heartache
Would it make much more sense
To remain on the fence and leave
Leave this story's characters be
'Cause rumours could lead to grief
A secret stays a secret with me
I know something you don't know
But I won't let these whispers go
Go
Leave this story's characters be
'Cause rumours could lead to grief
A secret stays a secret with me, oh
Leave
Leave this story's characters be
'Cause rumours could lead to grief
A secret stays a secret with me, oh
I know something you don't know
But I won't let these whispers go
Ryan Inglis's song "Secret" explores the dilemma of keeping a secret and whether it is worth it to reveal it or not. The song starts by asking the listener if they are capable of keeping a secret and hiding it from the rest of the world. The lyrics question whether the secret would consume one's mind or whether it could be held back behind the tip of one's tongue. The song points out the importance of being able to find the right words when it is necessary to reveal the secret.
The lyrics in the song also contemplate whether it is better to hide the truth or reveal it to the world. The soft melody suggests the importance of making the right choice, as the wrong action can lead to sadness and heartache. The lyrics indicate that it might be easier to remain on the fence and not act on the secret, to leave the characters in the story undisturbed. Ryan Inglis suggests that rumour and gossip can lead to grief if secrets are revealed, and it might be better to keep them concealed.
In summary, Ryan Inglis's "Secret" analyses the conflict that arises when there is a secret to keep. It explores the idea of whether it is better to keep the secret or reveal it and the impact that the decision can have on people's lives.
