Name: The Secret's Out
Duration: P00H03M18S
Description: ‘The Secret’s Out’ is an indie pop song, centered around a cutting emotional vocal sitting on top of a pulsing heartbeat rhythm. The song is about the painful flaws we desperately try to hide, and the sense of release at accepting that hiding is lonely and pointless. We are all broken, we are all the same- there is nothing to run from.

lyrics

Don't you know better than talking that loud?
The party's been over a long time now
Looks like the secret's out

Why don't you put that gun down?
I'd give you your dreams if I knew how
Oh, you've really done it now
Looks like the secret's out

Who do you think you're fighting now?
We already laid our armour down
The war is over
We're all sleeping
Don't know why you're still running
Running

I'm going to live in the underground
I'm feeling far better without you now
Look's like the secret's out
