Unveiling Life's Hidden Truths: The Secrets We Keep
Lyrics
Everyone's got secrets
Everyone possesses hidden aspects of their lives.
Dirty little secrets
These hidden aspects are often unsavory or private.
Have I got one on you
Is there a secret that I know about you?
(Have I got one on you)
Reiteration of the question in line 3.
Although they may be secrets,
Even though secrets are concealed, they may reveal vulnerabilities.
They may show your weakness
These concealed aspects might expose personal weaknesses.
Well are they really true
Questioning the authenticity of these secrets.
(well are they really true)
Reiteration of the question in line 7.
Don't tell your mates
Advising against sharing secrets with friends.
On the council estates
Particular emphasis on not sharing secrets in certain environments.
'Cause there's no one to trust
Due to a lack of trustworthy individuals.
Don't tell the sky as it spits down in your eye
Metaphorical reference to the unpredictability of life.
But tell the priest if you must
Suggesting confiding in a religious figure for absolution.
'Cause everyone's got problems
Highlighting that everyone faces challenges.
Everyone's got problems
Reiteration of the universality of problems.
And everyone's got stress
Acknowledging that stress is a common experience.
Controlling our relations avoiding situations
Avoiding conflicts and problematic situations is a shared concern.
That end up in a mess
Emphasizing the consequences of mishandled situations.
Don't be afraid
Encouraging not to be afraid of one's thoughts.
If your thoughts are mislaid
Even if thoughts are confused or mistaken.
'Cause there's nothing to fear
Assuring that there is nothing to be afraid of.
Don't get upset if your memories
Not getting upset about past mistakes or memories.
Make regrets because we've all got them here
Acceptance that everyone has regrets.
Secrets , secrets, secrets
Emphasis on the concept of secrets.
Are for keeping, keeping, keeping
Underlining the importance of keeping secrets.
And if you tell them
Implying that sharing secrets diminishes their significance.
They lose their meaning
When secrets are revealed, they lose their impact.
Don't tell your mates
Reiteration of not sharing secrets with friends.
On the council estates
Emphasizing the lack of trust in specific social environments.
'Cause there's no one to trust
Repetition of the caution against sharing secrets.
Don't tell the sky as it spits down in your eye
Metaphorical reference to adversity from unexpected sources.
But tell the priest if you must
Suggesting confiding in a religious figure when necessary.
Secrets , secrets, secrets
Reiteration of the importance of keeping secrets.
Are for keeping, keeping, keeping
Highlighting the value of secrecy.
And if you tell them

Dirty little secrets

Have I got one on you
Repeating the question from lines 3 and 4.
(Have I got one on you)
Restating the potential exposure of weaknesses through secrets.

Raising doubt about the truthfulness of these secrets.
(well are they really true) x 3
Reiteration of the doubt about the authenticity of secrets, repeated three times.
