Letra one republic secrets11/19/2023 He is ready to confess to her and all the rest of the world he is in love. So in the throes of passion and surrender to his hearts sorrow he sings "Tell me what you want to hear something that will light those ears sick of all the insincere I'm gonna give all my secrets away". In the same moment she sits alone waiting in vain on unrequited live he finally comes to the realization that life without your true love is an empty existence. Him to seek gratification in a superficial existence void of passion. Her to seek solace in the arms of a man that does not love her. In pain and sorrow they have turned away from each other. The woman whom he is in love with does not align with the superficial life he has built around himself. It is about a man who has lived his life in the socially accepted/expected masculine patriarchy. This is a love song, the video reflects the lyrical content. So in conclusion, this song is him pleaing for help and telling all of his secrets so that he may not lose himself, no matter what people say, because it won't matter in the end if his happiness and general self has disappeared. It could also just be a lesser extreme of that he doesn't want to lose himself and the man that he was/is. At first, I thought that he didn't want to fade from the fame and be forgotten, but then I realized that he was worried that he was losing himself and that- in accordance to thoughts I've previously had- almost wanted to die, or kill himself ( bluntness ), and he is crying out for help here because he wants help to fight back at this feeling which makes him want to "disappear", or die. He adds that plea of "don't let me disappear". In another part, he says he's got no reason, shame or family to blame this could mean that he hasn't a reason to feel so down and depressed about the world, that he isn't ashamed of anything and therefore shame is not causing him to feel in such a way, and that his family has not done anything during his life to cause him to be like this either. In the song, the man talks about being amazed that he and his friends had gotten this far with fame and glory, but that leads into the fact that his glory is not helping others in the world by just writing albums. I relate to some of the things he is saying because I feel at times that I am bored of life and would rather not be living it, so to keep me going and to get the hardship off of my chest, I tell people close to me about my troubles. I guess this might be one of the first secrets he tells. He also goes on to say that everyday there are problems in the world that we deal with by simply writing songs so that others may be touched by them and help out, but that the one singing doesn't like the flow of it, as he isn't doing enough. When I listen to this song, I hear a man who is weary of life and needs something to boost him he's exhausted from the lies and everything that he has kept within, whether the secrets are dark or not, he just wants to give it away so that he can feel the weight of the secrets lifted off of him and also to make him feel as if he has some story that needs hearing and is special so that he can be ridded of the boredom in life that wears down his soul. It's like we're chasing all those stars who's driving shiny big black carsĪnd every day I see the news all the problems bet we can solve them when a situation rises just write it into an album send it straight to gold, but I don't really like my flow"Īnd I think the whole song is highly personal about the lyricist's career and his persistence on being true in his songs. He decides to give all his best and write sincere and personal songs, songs that can connect to the listeners, ignoring all the criticisms the band receives. We can see they've put in lots of effort in their songs but they don't seem to achieve as much as other artists out there. This song revolved around the frustration they encounter in their career as a band. This time, don't need another perfect line Probably shows how he insists on writing honest lyrics, and it's a hard job So I guess this song is about the band's career instead of relationships and stuff THe lyricist of the band once stated in an interview that he would always use honest lyrics for his own band.
