Secret Lyrics
All the time I've waited for this day
All along I was never in doubt
I always knew it would never get out
There are things that I cannot tell
And there are things that you know damn well
This is getting very hard for me
I guess you'd better just wait and see
And all the time you wipe away that tear
All I want is to hold your hand
To see the sun and walk the sand
You make me sad and you make me glad
And now you see my secret is this love
Is love, Is love
All my secret is this love
You comfort me and make me feel it's worth my while
And then I look around and you're not there
And everyday you say you care and I'll beware
All I want is to hold your hand
All along I was never in doubt
To see the sun and to walk the sand
If this was by Visage or the pet shop boys, it would be one of the gayest songs ever.. But it's OMD and it's awesome. To me, it combines their weirdness and popiness better than most of their music, which is good.
Gayest? like blackest?
Gayest? like blackest?
In my opinion, this is by far OMD's best song... 80's music at its best...
Perhaps due to personal significance I've always seen this as a song about coming to terms with a truth about oneself, bursting to escape but socially constrained due to the perception that it may not be readily accepted.
An awesome classic from an awesome band. Very much the essence of the 80s.
@henryl6 Agreed! If you’re not watching the video, and think of the song as him singing to himself rather than a girl, the meaning soars to incredible heights.
