Secret
Got a secret, can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket taking this one to the grave
If I show you, then I know you won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead
Why do you smile like you've been told a secret?
Now you're tellin' lies 'cause you have sworn to keep it
But no one keeps a secret, no one keeps a secret
Why when do our darkest deeds do we tell?
They burn in our brains, become a living hell
'Cause everybody tells, everybody tells
Got a secret, can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket taking this one to the grave
If I show you, then I know you won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead
Look into my eyes
Now you're getting sleepy
Are you hypnotized by secrets that you're keeping?
I know what you're keeping
I know what you're keeping
Got a secret, can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket taking this one to the grave
If I show you, then I know you won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead
Allison?
Yes, Catherine?
I have something I want to tell you, but you have to promise never to tell anyone
I promise
Do you swear on your life?
I swear on my life
You swore you'd never tell
You swore you'd never tell
You swore you'd never tell
You swore you'd never tell
Got a secret, can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket taking this one to the grave
If I show you, then I know you won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead
Got a secret, can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket taking this one to the grave
If I show you, then I know you won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead
Got a secret, can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket taking this one to the grave
If I show you, then I know you won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead
Yes, two can keep a secret if one of them is dead
Yes, two can keep a secret if one of us is dead
O Segredo Fatal: Uma Análise da Música Tema de Pretty Little Liars
A música "Secret" é amplamente reconhecida como a música tema da série de televisão "Pretty Little Liars", um drama adolescente que gira em torno de mistérios, segredos e a busca pela verdade. A letra da música, interpretada pela banda The Pierces, é uma representação perfeita da atmosfera de suspense e intriga que permeia a série. A repetição do refrão "Got a secret, can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save" sugere a dificuldade e o perigo de guardar segredos, um tema central em "Pretty Little Liars".
A música utiliza a metáfora de que "dois podem guardar um segredo se um deles estiver morto" para ilustrar a ideia de que segredos podem ser perigosos e que, muitas vezes, a única maneira de garantir que um segredo seja mantido é através de medidas extremas. Isso reflete diretamente a trama da série, onde segredos são constantemente ameaçados de serem revelados, e as consequências podem ser fatais. A letra também aborda a natureza humana de não conseguir manter segredos, sugerindo que, mesmo com promessas e juramentos, a verdade tende a vir à tona, muitas vezes trazendo consigo um rastro de destruição.
Além disso, a música toca em aspectos psicológicos, como a sensação de queimação e tormento que segredos podem causar na mente de quem os guarda, como expresso em "They burn in our brains, become a living hell". A referência a olhares e sorrisos que escondem segredos e a menção à hipnose reforçam a ideia de que há sempre mais do que aparenta por trás das fachadas das pessoas. A música, assim como a série, convida o ouvinte a questionar a confiabilidade das aparências e a profundidade dos segredos que cada um carrega.
