secret
Somna feat. HALIENE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I watch the shadows on your face
Like secret pages thrown away
Covering the memories I can't forget
Your silhouette
Is all that's left
In the silence
I can hear your voice
Like a rhythm beating underneath the noise

You're an echo calling in the distance
But no one else can hear it
Cause you're my only secret
Secret

Cause you're my only secret

Secret
In the silence
I can hear your voice
Like a rhythm beating underneath the noise
You're an echo calling in the distance
But no one else can hear it
Cause you're my only secret

Secret
Cause you're my only secret

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Somna feat. HALIENE's song "Secret" are about someone who holds a secret close to their heart, and the memories that come along with it. The opening line sets the tone for the song, as the singer watches the shadows on their lover's face, likening them to secret pages that have been thrown away. The memories that cannot be forgotten are hidden away, and all that is left is their silhouette.

Despite the physical absence of their lover, their voice is heard in the silence. The singer compares it to a rhythm beating underneath the noise, which is a poetic way of saying that their love still resonates within them despite the passage of time. The idea of "you're an echo calling in the distance, but no one else can hear it" adds to the sense of secrecy and intimacy, with their love being something that only they can truly understand.

The closing lines of the song - "Cause you're my only secret, Secret / Cause you're my only secret" - emphasize the importance of the secret that the singer is holding onto. It's unclear what the secret is, but the lyrics suggest that it's something that is both precious and painful at the same time.

I watch the shadows on your face
I observe the subtle emotions expressed on your facial expressions

Like secret pages thrown away
Like pages of your life that you have discarded into oblivion

Covering the memories I can't forget
Your expressions are masking the memories that I cannot erase from my memory

Your silhouette
I can only see your vague outline

Is all that's left
My memories of you are reduced down to just this shadow

In the silence
When there is noiseless atmosphere

I can hear your voice
Your voice echoes in my mind

Like a rhythm beating underneath the noise
Your voice is like a persistent drumming in my head

You're an echo calling in the distance
I hear your voice in the far-off distance like an echo

But no one else can hear it
Only I can hear your voice

Cause you're my only secret
You are my solitary enigma
