Dark Secret Lyrics
You are sickened by the weakness
Of a heart that's filled with fear
And if the world won't understand you
You can make it disappear
'Cause there's a dark secret
Carry with you
Carry with you
And deep inside, the way you hate them
On the outside, doesn't show
And oh, they think that they defy you
They are slaved to what you know
It's a dark secret
Carry with you
Carry with you
And it's a dark secret
Carry with you
Carry with you
And it's a dark secret
Carry with you
Carry with you
It's a dark secret
Carry with you
It's a dark secret
Carry with you
It's a dark secret
Carry with you (dark secret)
Of a heart that's filled with fear
And if the world won't understand you
You can make it disappear
Carry with you
Carry with you
On the outside, doesn't show
And oh, they think that they defy you
They are slaved to what you know
Carry with you
Carry with you
Carry with you
Carry with you
And it's a dark secret
Carry with you
Carry with you
Carry with you
It's a dark secret
Carry with you
It's a dark secret
Carry with you (dark secret)

Since he wrote this for The Craft soundtrack, it could be taken at face value in relation to the movie, but I think it may be deeper than that. I think it's about somebody who manipulates and bends people to their whim with charm rather than any sort of ethereal 'magic'. Somebody who has a grudge against the world and goes around toying with people's minds as a form of revenge. I'm sure we all know somebody like that...
I think rather that the song is about taking revenge on people whose weakness makes them parasites...You are sickened by the weakness Of a heart that's filled with fear
Otherwise why mention their weakness? They sneer at people with the strength to live responsibly with self respect ...And if the world won't understand you You can make it disappear
The world is full of these people, as the song says. You can make it disappear by avoiding those people and by socializing with people of your ilk and if that isn't an option you can destroy them. Make it in the cards for them to lead themselves to destruction. Yes, manipulate them, prey on their weaknesses. Make them disappear. The dark secret is the knowledge to do that, the knowledge to make things better, something they do not have, make you superior to them and more powerful. Whether it's by magic or psychology and by giving them their just desserts.
It's not to become a parasite yourself by preying on the innocent, but to make the real parasites either learn their lesson, or be gone.
