Secrets

I recently watched the movie, The Sorcerers Apprentice which I really did enjoy. Guess it's a more modern spin on the whole Merlin vs Morgana saga or was that a new Merlin vs old Morgana? In any event, effects were good and story entertaining enough.

Today's tune was pretty much the title track to that movie. The main scene with the plasma charges being tuned to play back this tune got me thinking. How many other dangerous or seemingly hazardous things could be used for something a little easier on the soul? After all, the Nobel Peace prize is a prize for promoting peace and furthering mankind, named after Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite. A substance that can easily be used for good or... not so good.

So, today's tune, "Secrets" by One Republic is a bit of all of that and more. Secrets as with anything hazardous can be used to protect or maim, guess it's up to use them wisely or, to simply give them away.

I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess

'Til all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no
I've been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My God, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars

And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Send it straight to gold
I don't really like my flow, no, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got not shame
Got no family, I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'ma tell you everything

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

All my secrets away,
All my secrets away...


I'm not really one who's good at keeping my own secrets. Guess I'm really sick of the insincere and a lot of perfect lies. Sometimes you've just got to give all your secrets away.
