Having formed less than 1 year ago, SECRETS have already made an impact as one of the most promising up and coming acts in the scene. Armed with irresistibly catchy choruses, soaring vocals, and mercilessly dynamic breakdowns, SECRETS is preparing to tour heavily in support of the new release this fall.
Velocity Records’ Dave Shapiro says, "When I heard these songs, I knew San Diego had yet another band that would be at the forefront of their genre." Rise Records’ founder Craig Ericson is equally pumped on the signing, explaining, "Dave showed me the band and I immediately knew these guys were keepers.”

You Look Good in Plastic
Secrets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s someone else staring back at me
I’m a ghost in a walking corpse
Who is haunted by who I can’t be
This is all because of the Harry’s code
It’s all I need to know
Your screams, are like music to my heartless being
Because I’m making up my mind
For the lost time that I paid for (so close so far away)
You know my method isn’t kind
But still ill find what I came for (what are you waiting for?)
Take out the enemy, get back my sanity
Brick wall defense, suspense is killing me
Cause everything I love is what I kill for
(look who’s laughing now, so look who’s laughing now)
I am your fate, I’m your destruction
I’ll break the teeth right out of your mouth
I can’t control this, but no one knows it
So this is how I let it all out
Brace yourself
Because I’m making up my mind
For the lost time that I paid for (so close so far away)
You know my method isn’t kind
But still ill find what I came for (what are you waiting for?)
Take out the enemy, get back my sanity
Brick wall defense, suspense is killing me
Cause everything I love is what I kill for
(look who’s laughing now, so look who’s laughing now)
This is your final hour, look what you’ve done
Tied up in plastic, and there’s nowhere to run
The song "You Look Good in Plastic" by Secrets tells the story of a person who is struggling with their identity and their past. The lyrics describe how this person no longer recognizes themselves when they look in the mirror and how they feel like a shell of a person, haunted by the person they wish they could be. The cause of this inner turmoil is revealed to be the "Harry's code", which is alluded to throughout the song but not fully explained. It seems to be something that the singer feels like they are bound to, as it's "all they need to know".
The rest of the lyrics describe the singer's desire to make up for lost time, even if it means being cruel to others. They seek revenge on their enemies and a way to regain their sanity. The line "everything I love is what I kill for" shows the extreme measures the singer is willing to go to in order to achieve their goals. The final line, "this is your final hour, look what you’ve done, tied up in plastic, and there’s nowhere to run" suggests that the singer has achieved their ultimate goal and their enemy is now at their mercy.
Overall, "You Look Good in Plastic" is a dark, intense song that explores the themes of identity, revenge, and mental illness. The imagery of being "tied up in plastic" reinforces the idea that the singer has complete control over their enemies and their own life, but at the price of their own sanity.

I don’t see me when i look in the mirror
When I look at myself in the mirror, I don't recognize who I am anymore
It’s someone else staring back at me
The reflection in the mirror doesn't resemble my true self
I’m a ghost in a walking corpse
I feel like I'm alive but dead at the same time
Who is haunted by who I can’t be
I'm tormented by the person I wish I could've been but wasn't able to become
This is all because of the Harry’s code
My current state is a result of following a strict set of rules and beliefs
It’s all I need to know
I'm convinced that these beliefs are the only things that matter
Your screams, are like music to my heartless being
Hearing others suffer makes me feel alive and fulfilled, even though I have no empathy
Because I’m making up my mind
I've decided to take action
For the lost time that I paid for (so close so far away)
I'm trying to make up for time wasted pursuing something that didn't pan out
You know my method isn’t kind
My approach is brutal, and I have no mercy
But still ill find what I came for (what are you waiting for?)
I'll stop at nothing to achieve my goal, and I won't let anything stand in my way
Take out the enemy, get back my sanity
I'm going to eliminate whoever is in my way, in order to restore my mental health
Brick wall defense, suspense is killing me
I'm constantly on high alert, ready to fight, and it's starting to take a toll on me
Cause everything I love is what I kill for
The things that matter most to me are the same things that drive me to commit acts of violence
(look who’s laughing now, so look who’s laughing now)
I take pleasure in the fact that I've achieved what I set out to do, and those who doubted me are now proven wrong
I am your fate, I’m your destruction
I have the power to control and bring about your downfall
I’ll break the teeth right out of your mouth
I'll use extreme force to harm and disable my opponent
I can’t control this, but no one knows it
I'm unable to contain my violent tendencies, but I make sure others don't catch on
So this is how I let it all out
When I commit violent acts, it's a way for me to release my inner turmoil and aggression
Brace yourself
Prepare for the worst
This is your final hour, look what you’ve done
You've brought about your own demise
Tied up in plastic, and there’s nowhere to run
You're trapped and there's no escaping your fate
