Lyrics / Darkest Secrets (Analysis)

She never had much of a homelife,
Never knew true warmth of love;
And the mess she’d made of her own life,
She wasn’t too proud of…
I guess she never had a chance,
The way her ‘Cards got dealt’;
But she said she found, in our romance,
A feeling she’d not felt…

So, she shared the ‘Darkest secrets’ of her life:
Her childhood years;
And all her fears;
That she’s still some guy’s wife…
None of that matters anyhow,
‘cause that’s all in the past,
And the only thing that matters now
Is that our love will last…

At fifteen, she was ‘Shootin’ smack’,
And that ‘Crap’ don’t come free;
They tried, but failed, to force her back
To face ‘Reality’...
One day she just decided,
Before it got too late,
That she, alone, could fight it
And, since then, she’s been ‘Straight’...

So, she shared the ‘Darkest secrets’ of her life:
Her childhood years;
And all her fears;
That she’s still some guy’s wife…
None of that matters anyhow,
‘cause that’s all in the past,
And the only thing that matters now
Is that our love will last…

When I met her, she was older,
Said she’d “Really been around”;
Had so many lies been told her,
Had some “Heavy things” come down…
As for those that had deceived her,
Still, her heart harbored no grudge;
As for me, I just believed her
And she learned that I don’t judge…

So, she shared the ‘Darkest secrets’ of her life:
Her childhood years;
And all her fears;
That she’s still some guy’s wife…
None of that matters anyhow,
‘cause that’s all in the past,
And the only thing that matters now
Is that our love will last…

I like it and the first thought that came to my mind for some weird reason was a song by Billy Idol= She’s Shooting stars…Maybe you can contact them…
Could you tell me how you got your poetry published please let me know I am new to this.

This would be an excellent song, something slightly country or maybe sad jazz. You should definitely pursue trying to find a songwriter to work with you on this. I can’t wait to heart it set to music.

This is good.  The verses were easy to understand and the descriptions made you understand what this young girl had gone through.  To me it’s sound like good lyrics for a country song.

As I read this I wondered what form of music would be with it.  I loved it.  The story was understandable and so true.

These lyrics seem to portray a tragic girl who seems to have pieced her life back together on her own… yet there is still a need for a ‘dashing prince’ to sweep her off her feet. It seems to direct a round-of-applause factor to the narrator rather than to the girl who survived the life trials in the first place.
