Secrets We Keep
Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's open up the door to my secret chamber
And care to take a look if you only dare
There is something hiding in the dark

I keep falling down - But cannot find the bottom
This black hole never ends - So I just keep on falling

These are the secrets we keep
Evil of which we don't speak
I know that you're just like me

I have something to show
You had it coming for you, My theatre of pain
Come in and have a seat
Watch the curtain fall before your eyes

I keep falling down - I cannot find the bottom
This black hole never ends - So I just keep on falling

These are the secrets we keep - Evil of which we don't speak
I know that you're just like me

Let's not run for the exit sign again
Close your eyes and hold on tight
Understand there's no true escape from me
Let me show you another light

Let's open up the door to your secret chamber
I dare you, take a look
Or is it they you are scared of something
Hiding in the dark

We keep falling down - But never hit the bottom
This black hole never ends - So we just keep on falling

These are the secrets we keep




Evil of which we don't speak
I know that you're just like me

Overall Meaning

In "Secrets We Keep," Wolf encourages us to open up our secret chambers and take a look inside. There's something hiding in the dark, and as we fall further down into that black hole, we discover that we all have secrets we keep - secrets of which we don't speak, and secrets so evil that we're afraid to even confront them. But Wolf knows that we're just like him and that we all have something to show - our own private theatre of pain where we can't escape from ourselves. He invites us to take a seat and watch the curtain fall before our eyes, as he reveals another light and helps us reframe how we see our secrets.


The song has a powerful universal message. We all have secrets that we keep, a personal truth that we don't share with others for various reasons. The lyrics express the idea that we all carry darkness within ourselves, and although it may be scary to confront these secrets, it's essential to explore them to achieve true growth and development. Wolf encourages us not to be afraid to confront the things that we hide and to let go of the notion that we're alone in these struggles.
