Secretly
Secretly Admiring, Dreaming Bigger: Erika de Casier's Unspoken Longing
Lyrics
Walking 'round like everything's cool
Presenting a facade of composure and confidence
'Til I see somebody that looks just like you
Noticing someone resembling the subject of interest
Thinking 'bout what you might be doing
Contemplating the subject's activities and thoughts
Secretly
Concealing true feelings or admiration
I see you everywhere
Perceiving the subject frequently
Even when I'm not looking (not looking)
Awareness of the subject even when not intentionally observing
I dream of you every day
Daydreaming about the subject regularly
Even when I'm not sleeping (not sleeping)
Having dreams about the subject despite being awake
So do you feel the same yeah
Questioning if the subject shares similar feelings
Could you let me know then
Seeking confirmation of the subject's emotions
Secretly I admire you
Admiring the subject secretly
Like I am new to this
Expressing admiration as if it's a new experience
Like I've never been through it
Feeling unfamiliar emotions, unlike past experiences
I'm not usually like this
Not typical behavior, unusual for the person
So many things I could do and
Contemplating numerous possible actions and words
So many words I could say to you
Having difficulty initiating communication
But I don't know where to begin
Feeling unsure about how to express emotions
I don't know how to explain how I feel
Struggling to articulate and explain feelings
Took me a while but
Taking time to come to a realization
Better late than dead on time (mmh)
Preferring a delayed realization over being timely
Better late than dead on time
Emphasizing the value of delayed realization
Secretly
Reiterating the act of concealing true feelings
You're giving me these lovely thoughts
Subject's influence evoking positive thoughts
Of how we used to dream big
Reflecting on past dreams and aspirations
But now we dream bigger
Current dreams surpassing past ones, even without the subject
Without one another
Independence in dreaming, not relying on the subject
I see you everywhere even when I'm not looking
Continued awareness of the subject's presence
I dream of you every day even when I'm not sleeping
Persisting dreams about the subject
So do you feel the same (yeah)
Reiterating the inquiry about shared feelings
Could you let me know then
Requesting direct communication about mutual emotions
Could you let me know?
Seeking confirmation and openness from the subject
Secretly
Reiteration of the secretive admiration
