secret
Taichi Mukai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
駆け引きが寄り添う そんな日常で
誰にも知られたくない秘密
誰にだってあるだろう
そんなものない、ない、ない
そんなのいない、ない、ない
知られたくない、ない、ない
言葉はこわい、わい、わい
羽のような Secret
一度外に出れば
たちまちに Refrain
とめどなく出ていけば もう Too late！
みんなそう良い人になりたいと願って
だけど本当はもっと深いところで思う
因果応報ってなんか
聞いたことあるような気がする
今夜の話題、あい、あい
みんなが期待、あい、あい
(今日は誰？)
それってやばい、あい、あい
聞きたくはない、あい、あい
次はどの Secret
明日は我が身だから
ここから抜け出せ
どこか遠くまで いやもう Too late？
このまますべて 過去など忘れて
流れるまま生きて 嫌なのは目つぶって
噂話だけって それで誰かが泣いて
人の不幸で食って それこそ不幸だって
気付いて みんな メーデー
気付けば みんな 上で
見て見ないフリ 傷つけたくないけれど
それは蜜の味
羽のような Secret
一度外に出れば
たちまちに Refrain
とめどなく出ていけば もう Too late！
In Taichi Mukai's song "Secret," the lyrics explore the common, yet unspoken, human experience of holding a secret. In the casual conversations and everyday interactions we have with people, there may be a desire to probe deeper and reveal the unknown. However, the fear of being exposed or judged often keeps us from divulging our secrets. The chorus repeats the phrase "there is no such thing as a secret" but it is clear that this is not true - everyone has secrets they want to keep hidden from the world.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of karma and how people may project a certain image to others, but internally have darker thoughts and desires. Even though we may want to be good people, we all have a human nature that includes both light and dark aspects. There is a sense of urgency in the lyrics as the idea is presented that once a secret is revealed, it can quickly spread and become uncontrollable.
This song evokes a feeling of relatability and honesty as it confronts the idea of having secrets that are both personal and universal at the same time. It speaks to the desire for human connection and the fear of being vulnerable in a world that can be unforgiving. Overall, "Secret" brings to light the complexities of human nature and the importance of self-reflection and honesty in our relationships with others.
