Secret Keepers

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Transposer:

[Intro]                                       [Verse 1]   Give it up or go down with it                         secret’s boat tossed on wave   All these years you’ve been living with it And it’s   fucked you up every which way [Chorus] Secret keepers are lost and found Spare a little kindness when you meet someone You never really know what they’re carrying around Every day is a battle that’s   never won [Verse 2]   It’s not safe to keep it hidden And it’s not safe to let it out   You just learn to do its bidding As it   blows you up from the inside out [Chorus] Secret keepers are lost and found Spare a little kindness when you meet someone You never really know what they’re carrying around Is it a live grenade or a loaded gun? [Bridge]   Out of sight out of questions With your truest friend: depression Whispering "me too" true confession No relief and no redemption [Solo]                             [Chorus] Secret keepers we’re all the same Looking for some kindness when we meet someone We get years of practice camouflaging shame But the armor we’re wearing weighs a ton [Chorus] Secret keepers are lost and found Spare a little kindness when you meet someone You never really know what they’re carrying around [Solo]                             [Outro]

La chanson aborde la lutte intérieure des personnes qui cachent des secrets lourds à porter, engendrant souvent une profonde souffrance. Elle souligne l'idée que vivre avec des secrets peut être aussi destructeur que de les révéler, créant un dilemme entre le besoin de se protéger et celui de se libérer. Dans ce contexte, elle rappelle l'importance de faire preuve de bienveillance envers autrui, car chacun porte un fardeau invisible. On ne sait jamais ce que les autres traversent, et un simple geste de gentillesse peut avoir un impact significatif. La lutte contre la honte et la recherche de réconfort sont des thèmes centraux, illustrant une quête de compréhension et de connexion humaine.
