Secret Love
The News Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I spent all night at the bottom of the sea
And watched the world crash over me
I look to the left and I look to the right
I can't find the love you showed me that night

I could walk all night through the snow and the rain
Just to see the sunlight on your face
I could stay awake but I'm fading out
I need your love to come and show me how to make it out

So give me your love and your secrets I promise
promise I'll give you all mine
sooner or later we all will disappear as quick as we turn out the light

And I stayed all day at the top of the trees
And I watched world floating on that breeze
Well I wish I knew then what I don't know now
So I could find the love you showed me somehow

So give me your love and your secrets I promise
promise I'll give you all mine
sooner or later we all will disappear as quick as we turn out the light

I spent all night at the bottom of the sea
And watched the world crash over me

So give me your love and your secrets I promise




promise I'll give you all mine
sooner or later we all will disappears as quick as we turn out the light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The News's song "Secret Love" delve into themes of longing, lost love, and the ephemeral nature of life.


In the first verse, the singer describes feeling overwhelmed and submerged by the world's troubles. They feel lost and unable to find the love that was once shown to them. The imagery of being at the bottom of the sea represents a feeling of being drowned in sadness or despair. It suggests a deep emotional state where the weight of the world is crashing down on them.


The second verse continues the theme of longing for love, this time portrayed through the physical hardship of walking through adverse weather conditions. The singer is willing to endure challenging circumstances just to catch a glimpse of sunlight on their loved one's face. However, they also express a sense of fading away without that love, indicating their emotional dependence on it.


The chorus echoes the desire for love and the exchange of secrets as a way to deepen intimacy. The singer wants to share and receive love and secrets from their partner, emphasizing the reciprocity of trust and vulnerability. However, at the same time, they acknowledge the transient nature of life where everyone will eventually disappear, symbolized by the metaphor of turning out the light.


In the final verse, the singer remains at a distance, observing the world from the top of the trees. The world is portrayed as floating on a breeze, suggesting both the fleeting nature of life and a sense of detachment from reality. They express a wish to have known then what they don't know now, as it might have allowed them to hold onto the love they once had.


The repetition of the chorus reinforces the longing for love and the understanding that everyone's existence is temporary. The lyrics ultimately evoke a bittersweet feeling of yearning for connection and grappling with the fragility of human relationships and mortality.

Lyrics

We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough
As you drive me to my house
I can't stop these silent tears from rolling down
You and I will have to hide
On the outside
Where I can't be yours and you can't be mine
But I know this, we got a love that is hopeless
Why can't I hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours
It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought
I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face
But we know this
We got a love that is hopeless
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours
I don't wanna live love this way
I don't wanna hide us away
I wonder if it ever will change
I'm living for that day
Someday
When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours
I'm yours
Oh, why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours, I'm yours
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours
Why can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that

This is criminally FLAWLESS. Everything was perfect and I really love this version better than the studio one. These girls are so talented and I'm here for it.

@Imagine Vocals There’s a bit more to singing than perfect pitch. Being a little imperfect can sound nice.
