Secrets
The Burial of You and Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Born to die another day
Why must we live this way
Lost my self in this world with nowhere left to turn
To my disgrace spat in your face and watched our bridges burn
From clouds man reigns down past our faults
In flames on the sun, sand flies by and here i sit
And wonder how we lost ourselves
Left with nowhere left to care for but inside
Lies like a cancer grow
Pains what I've come to know
Lost Myself in this world with nowhere left to turn
To my disgrace spat in your face and watched our bridges burn
From clouds man reigns down past our faults
In flames on the sun, sand flies by and here i sit
And wonder how we lost ourselves
Why i try, and hide my secret life
Left with nowhere left to care for but inside
Blech
In side
From clouds man reigns down past our faults
In flames on the sun, sand flies by and here i sit
And wonder how we lost ourselves
Why I try, and hide my secret life
Left with nowhere left to care for but inside
The Burial of You and Me's song "Secrets" is an emotional reflection on the pain of hiding secrets from the world. The lyrics start by questioning the reason for living when death is inevitable. The singer laments the fact that they have lost themselves in this world with no option left to turn. They have committed a horrible act by disrespecting someone they care about and as a result, they have watched bridges burn.
The song then goes on to talk about how man's faults are causing destruction in the world, but the singer is lost in their own problems. They have a secret life that they hide, and it's eating them from inside like cancer. The pain of living with a secret is unbearable, and the singer is left with nowhere to turn. The song ends with the same lines describing the destruction caused by man's faults, and the singer wondering why they even try to hide their secret life.
