Secrets
Silver Swans Lyrics

The lyrics to Silver Swans' song Secrets convey complex emotions such as happiness, fear, disappointment, and longing. The opening lines carry a sense of concern from the singer towards the person they are addressing. The question "Are you happy?" suggests that the singer understands that the other person is going through a tough time, and they want to offer comfort. The line "I know you shiver like a stone" paints a vivid image of the person's state of mind - cold and unfeeling. The following lines, "I know you can't be when you have nowhere else to go," suggests that they are stuck in a situation they cannot escape from, which is making them unhappy.

The next few lines, "And your father came to find you here / I got the chance to help you," signify a situation where the person is in need of help, and their family member has come to find them. The singer offers their support and gets the chance to help the person in crisis. The lines "And I don’t think about you, anymore / I don’t think about you, anymore," may indicate that the singer has moved on and has stopped worrying about the person's well-being, or it could imply that they are trying to console themselves about the person's departure from their lives.

The last section of the song addresses the mystery of the person's current location and state of mind. The singer wonders if they are working somewhere, possibly far away, or if they are satisfied with their life, which they find boring. The line "Don’t know that it’s everyone else who is disappointing" suggests that the person may have had high expectations which were not met by their surroundings. The repetition of "Secrets I find out" suggests that the singer is still trying to uncover the person's current situation and unravel the secrets they are keeping. Overall, the lyrics of Secrets are cryptic, packed with emotion, and leave the listener to speculate about the story behind them.
