![]() ![]() I am struggling with a guilty conscience and trying to find a way to reconcile my past decisions.Ĭan I climb out of this ditch I've dug? This guilt won't let me free. The last chorus reinforces the message of the song - the importance of letting go of secrets and mistakes, and feeling relieved by moving on. The following lines encourage standing back up on one's own and starting over, although it's not an easy process. The lyrics mention moments that keep running through the mind, which could refer to regrettable memories. The third stanza talks about reflecting on past mistakes and taking responsibility for them. The chorus emphasizes the importance of letting go of past mistakes and regrets, smiling and waving them away, and relieving the pressure inside by moving on with one's life. The second stanza talks about feeling overwhelmed and suffocated by one's thoughts, leading to a tug-of-war with oneself. The first stanza brings up a feeling of guilt and the struggle to climb out of a ditch that has been dug. "Secrets" is a solid song about a break up caused by one woman's unfaithfulness.The lyrics of Veara's song No More Secrets talks about struggling to clear one's conscience and letting go of past mistakes to move on. Other than that, I don't have much to add to my explanation of this song. I think the lines "Wipe the / Lust from your eyes" is an interesting idea and a weirdly poetic reference to what's been happening. The Weeknd hears her talking in her sleep about another man (or men), and he's done. ![]() "Secrets" is about a confrontation of a woman who hasn't been faithful. The line about how they're "divided" means they're no longer together and will have to go their separate ways. When he sings, "You can't be the one," he's saying that she's not "the one" for him, and he'll have to find another lover who will be faithful. He sings, "I see that you're not mine / I see the lust in your eyes / You can't hide it." She's not his, and he knows it. Here, The Weeknd sings, "Wipe the / Lust from your eyes." When people wake up from sleeping deeply, they'll rub their eyes and it's referred to as "wiping the sleep from your eyes." But since her sleep was filled with lust-filled dreams, The Weeknd wants her to snap out of that lustful mindset and to focus on him for a moment. Of course, she could have also let slip specific names. If she's not dreaming about "those guys," it's at least someone else. In the second verse, The Weeknd sings, "You told me not to worry 'bout / Those guys, those guys / You told me that you left it all behind." And apparently, based on her mumblings, there is reason for worry. He has been listening to her while she sleeps and has found out that there's someone else. The chorus is largely repetitive and focuses in on one key idea: "I hear the secrets that you keep / When you're talking in your sleep." He's been building up to this stanza for a while, and this is where he finally reveals how he knows she isn't completely faithful to him. Whether or not she's acting on her "lust," she's dreaming about another man. He sings that he catches "you every time / In your lust, your lust / Every time you close your eyes." When she goes to sleep next him in their bed, he stays awake to hear her or perhaps she awakens him with her sleep talking, but that's when he finds out that she isn't being faithful to him completely. The Weeknd sings accusingly, "It's a lie, a lie." And he has proof. He continues, "I ask you what your heart desires," because he wants to give her a chance to stay true to him, and she tells him that he's "the only one," but he doesn't believe it as we see in the pre-chorus. And I know you want them too." It's pretty obvious to him that she's not as interested in him as he had thought. He begins, "Everybody here wants you / My love. He knows that everyone wants his girlfriend, and he knows that he's not the one that she really wants. ![]() In the first verse of "Secrets," The Weeknd can see the relationship beginning to fall apart. She's lusting after someone else, and he needs to confront her. Instead, late at night, he hears her talking in her sleep about that guy and realizes that he's not the only one. Unfortunately for him, she's actually is interested in some other guy. The Weeknd knows that every other guys is jealous of his girlfriend, and he knows that it's going to be difficult to make her stay. it's got a little bit of a Michael Jackson vibe, and it's an interesting take on a relationship that could be very close to falling apart. The Weeknd wrote it about a relationship that's not going so well, and the song is awesome. "Secrets" is one of the grooviest, most interesting songs on the Starboy album.
