Chelsea+Smile

I've got a secret, it's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs, and I've got to keep it, I know something you don't know. OH!
 * __Chelsea Smile by Bring Me the Horizon__ **

It sits in silence Eats away at me It feeds like cancer This guilt could fill a fucking sea Pulling teeth, wolves at my door Now falling and failing is all I know This disease is getting worse I counted my blessings, now I'll count this curse

The only thing I really know: I can't sleep at night I am buried and breathing in regret. YEAAAA!

The only thing I really know: I can't sleep at night I am buried and breathing in regret

I've got a secret, it's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs, and I've got to keep it, I know something you don't know. I've got a secret, it's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs, and I've got to keep it, I know something you don't know.

I may look happy, but honestly dear The only way I'll really smile, is if you cut me ear to ear I see the vultures, they watch me bleed They lick their lips, as all the shame spills out of me

Repent Repent! The end is nigh, Repent Repent! We’re all going to die Repent Repent! These secrets will kill us so get on your knees and pray for...

Repent Repent! The end is nigh, Repent Repent! We’re all going to die Repent Repent! These secrets will kill us so get on your knees and pray for forgiveness

We all carry these things Inside that no one else can see They hold us down like anchors They drown us out at sea I look up to the sky There may be nothing there to see But if I don't believe in him Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me?

I've got a secret, it's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs, and I've got to keep it, I know something you don't know. I've got a secret, it's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs, and I've got to keep it, I know something you will never know You will never know I know something you don't know. ** __Lyric analysis__ ** This song is about someone keeping a secret that they can’t tell anyone about. It’s a dangerous secret that the person should get off his/her chest otherwise he/her is going to be crushed by it. The secret is like a curse eating away at the person. Not telling anyone is making the person feel guilty, or they may have done something beforehand that makes them feel this way. They can’t say anything because then they’ll have to face the truth themselves, as well as everyone around them.

“I may look happy, but honestly dear The only way I'll really smile, is if you cut me ear to ear I see the vultures, they watch me bleed They lick their lips, as all the shame spills out of me” The person isn’t happy; he/she is just pretending to be happy. He/she is too ashamed to show the truth. ** “Repent Repent! The end is nigh, Repent Repent! We’re all going to die Repent Repent! These secrets will kill us, so get on your knees and pray for forgiveness” ** The person who keeps this secret wants to be forgiven for not being truthful. All these secrets ruin lives. “We all carry these things Inside that no one else can see They hold us down like anchors They drown us out at sea I look up to the sky There may be nothing there to see But if I don't believe in him Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me?” __**Why I like this song**__ This song is important to me because it’s so truthful. It reminds me of having to keep secrets to keep others from getting hurt. Everyone does it, and sometimes these secrets can be really hard to keep. Sometimes you just want to shout it out, but you know you’ve got to keep it. “I've got a secret, it's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs, and I've got to keep it, I know something you don't know. I've got a secret, it's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs, and I've got to keep it, I know something you don't know.” The urge to let it out is always there; and you know that the right thing to do it to tell someone about it. And therefore you feel guilty. You feel like you’re lying to everyone around you. ** __**Music video**__
 * He/she is describing what secrets do to a person. Everyone has secrets like this. Everyone feels guilty or ashamed over something; and having to keep it from everyone pulls them down. I don’t think this part is religious, even though it sounds like it is. I think what he/she is trying to say is, “If I keep secrets, other people can keep secrets too. If I can’t trust anyone, why would anyone trust me?” I think it’s a metaphor. **
