I Think We're Alone Now
Whispers of Secrecy: Embracing Love in Shadows
Lyrics
Children behave, that's what they say when we're together
Advice to behave when in the company of others, likely referring to societal expectations.
And watch how you play
Observing how the other person behaves or plays.
They don't understand
Others don't comprehend our situation.
And so we're
Transition or continuation of the situation being described.
Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands
Running together, holding hands, attempting to escape from something.
Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me
Embrace and closeness in an attempt to escape.
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
Falling down together, possibly symbolizing vulnerability.
I think we're alone now,
Suggesting a feeling of privacy or isolation.
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
Confirmation of perceived isolation.
I think we're alone now,
Reiteration of the sense of being alone.
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Highlighting the sound of their hearts as the only noticeable noise.
Look at the way we gotta hide what we're doin'
Awareness of the need to conceal their actions or relationship.
'Cause what would they say
Concern about potential judgment if their actions were known.
If they ever knew
Implies secrecy and hidden aspects of the relationship.
And so we're
Repetition or continuation of the situation being described.
Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands
Repetition of the act of running together and holding hands.
Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me
Recreation of the intimate moment and falling together.
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
Reiteration of the sense of privacy and intimacy.
I think we're alone now,
Reassertion of the perceived isolation.
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
Reiteration of the idea that no one else is present.
I think we're alone now,
Reiteration of the hearts being the only audible sound.
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Emphasis on the exclusivity of the heartbeats as the only noise.
I think we're alone now,
Reiteration of the perceived isolation.
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
Reiteration of the absence of others.
I think we're alone now,
Reiteration of the hearts as the sole audible sound.
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Highlighting the exclusive focus on the beating hearts.
Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands
Repetition of running together and holding hands.
Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me
Recreation of the intimate moment and falling together.
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
Reiteration of the sense of privacy and intimacy.
I think we're alone now,
Reassertion of the perceived isolation.
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
Reiteration of the idea that no one else is present.
I think we're alone now,
Emphasis on the exclusivity of the heartbeats as the only noise.
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now,
