Keeping Secrets
Unveiling Intimate Musings
Lyrics
Writing in my diary
Engaging in the act of documenting personal thoughts and experiences.
Right before I go to sleep
Reflecting on the day's events before bedtime.
Trying to collect my thoughts
Attempting to organize and make sense of one's thoughts.
Of which are all in disarray
Feeling a lack of order or confusion in one's thoughts.
I write down love and hate and
Expressing a range of emotions, including love and hate.
Everything that's in between
Acknowledging the complexity of emotions and experiences.
Thoughts of incompetence find
Feelings of inadequacy becoming part of regular hidden thoughts.
Their way to routine secrets
Secrets becoming habitual and integrated into daily life.
Concealed between the pages
Keeping secrets within written pages as a form of concealment.
Are the lens through which I see
Seeing the world through the perspective shaped by these secrets.
Everytime that I look back
Reflecting on past actions and decisions.
I wish I acted differently
Expressing a desire to have behaved differently in hindsight.
But when I remember then
Recalling past events and actions.
There is no other way I see
Acknowledging that, in retrospect, there was no alternative course of action.
Following you follow me
Mutual pursuit and reciprocation in a relationship.
Discovering who we will be
Exploring and defining the identities of both individuals in the relationship.
I see in you what you see in me
Understanding each other's perspectives, contributing to a shared sense of loneliness.
That makes us only the lonely.
Emphasizing the shared experience of solitude despite being together.
I want you to want to know me
Expressing a desire for the other person to genuinely want to understand and know the speaker.
I want you to call my name
Desiring the other person to actively call out the speaker's name.
Wish that you would know
Hoping the other person realizes there's more to the speaker than what meets the eye.
There's more than meets the eye
Highlighting hidden or deeper aspects of the speaker's personality.
There's more to find
Stressing that there is more to discover about the speaker.
I want you to start asking questions
Expressing a desire for the other person to initiate deeper conversations.
I want you to understand
Wishing for the other person to truly comprehend the speaker's feelings and experiences.
There's so many people around
Awareness of the presence of many people around, yet still feeling isolated.
And once again
Reiteration of a recurring feeling of loneliness.
I'm getting lonely.
Continued experience of solitude despite the presence of others.
