Top Secrecy
Santers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're ten million miles away
You've gone too far
The ice is thin
Too dangerous for what you're getting in
You tangle your threads
You can't recall
Don't you water down desire
Don't you crucify our love
Seems like all the world's on fire
But you're burning alone
Top Secrecy
Playing hide and seek
Top Secrecy
It's killing me
If you think that you are invincible
Then you're in for a big surprise
You turn to the left
Turn to the right
All that surrounds you is just one big fight
You tangle your threads
You can't recall
All's not one and one's not all
Don't you water down desire
Don't you crucify our love
Seems like all the world's on fire
But you're burning alone
Top Secrecy
Playing hide and seek
Top Secrecy
It's killing me
Top Secrecy
Playing hide and seek
Top Secrecy
It's killing me
The song "Top Secrecy" by the Canadian rock band Santers tackles the theme of a person who believes they are lucky and invincible, but in reality, they are facing great danger and confusion. The lyrics suggest that this person is trapped in a web of secrecy, and they are struggling to remember who they really are. The singer of the song addresses this person and emphasizes that they should not forget their desires and not compromise their love. They also warn that being too secretive and self-reliant can result in loneliness and despair.
The verses describe the dangerous situation this person is in, and how they have gone too far - the ice is thin and dangerous. But despite the danger, the person seems to be unwilling to ask for help or to rely on others. They can not recall the tangled web they spun around themselves, and they are alone in their personal struggles.
The chorus, "Top Secrecy playing hide and seek, it's killing me," is a metaphor that suggests the person's secrecy is like a game of hide and seek, and that this game is causing pain and destruction. The use of the phrase "top secrecy" also implies that the person's secret is at the highest level of classification, reinforcing the idea that what they are hiding is significant and dangerous.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of being too secretive and not reaching out for help when needed. It highlights the importance of honesty, open communication, and relying on others when in a difficult situation.
