Thick As Thieves
Secrets and Sins: A Pact Thick as Thieves
Lyrics
Would it kill you to breathe easy?
Asking if it would be difficult for you to relax or calm down.
Only seventeen miles lay between you and me
There's a distance of only seventeen miles separating us.
I could make it if I had to
Expressing the ability to manage or endure a situation if necessary.
I don't break easily
Asserting resilience or strength, not easily being emotionally hurt or broken.
You've got my counsel, thick as thieves
Referring to a close relationship where advice and support are shared, likened to partners in crime.
If there's a crime we'll keep it secret
Implying willingness to keep a secret if a wrongdoing occurs.
For there's only trace amounts left in your blood
Suggesting a small amount of evidence or remnants left, indicating a secretive action or event.
You may be a sinner
Acknowledging someone's faults or wrongdoings.
But you may be justified
Speculating the possibility of having valid reasons or explanations for actions taken.
Just keep your mouth shut
Advising to remain silent about certain matters.
Keep your guard up
Urging to stay cautious or defensive.
I swear I'll make it right
Promising to rectify or fix a situation.
Will it kill me to breathe?
Rhetorical question about the difficulty of coping or surviving.
Not as easy as you think it is between you and me
Highlighting the complexity of the situation between the speaker and the other person.
I could fake it if I have to
Indicating the ability to pretend or manage a situation even if it's challenging.
I don't break easily
Reasserting resilience or strength, not easily being emotionally hurt or broken.
I need your counsel, thick as thieves
Expressing the need for close advice and support akin to partners in crime.
I have no crime to keep a secret
Stating not being responsible for a wrongdoing and not having a secret to keep.
It was hers, it was not mine
Clarifying the ownership of a particular action or event.
Well I may be a sinner
Acknowledging personal faults or wrongdoings.
But it wasn't me this time
Denying responsibility for a specific action or event this time.
Just keep your mouth shut
Reiterating the advice to remain silent about certain matters.
Keep your guard up
Encouraging vigilance or caution.
I swear I'll make it right
Reaffirming the intention to correct or rectify a situation.
Listen to yourself
Advising self-reflection or introspection.
There is a hemorrhage in your mouth
Metaphorically describing a severe verbal issue or problem.
It won't stop bleeding
Emphasizing a continuous verbal problem or issue.
Well you may be the trigger
Assigning blame or responsibility to the listener.
I will hold the smoking gun
Stating readiness to take the blame or responsibility.
You'll get away clean
Assuring that the listener won't face consequences and the speaker will keep their secrets hidden even in death.
I'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me
Committing to never expose those who have confided in the speaker, even in the afterlife.
And I will never tell a tortured soul they are burning by my side
Refusing to reveal the truth about causing pain or harm to others.
That I am a sinner
Acknowledging personal faults or wrongdoings.
I am a savior
Portraying contradictory roles: both a wrongdoer and someone attempting to save others.
I am a lie
Admitting to being deceitful or untrue in certain situations.
So keep your mouth shut
Reemphasizing the need for silence regarding certain matters.
Keep your guard up
Encouraging continued vigilance or caution.
I swear I'll make it right
Reiterating the commitment to rectify or fix the situation.
