Secret

The song 'Secret' by the artist associated with the TV show 'Pretty Little Liars' delves into the intriguing and often dark nature of secrets. The lyrics repeatedly question the ability of individuals to keep a secret, suggesting that it is an almost impossible task unless drastic measures are taken—implied by the haunting line 'two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.' This line serves as a chilling reminder of the lengths to which people might go to ensure silence.

The song also touches on the psychological aspect of secrets, how they can consume the mind and become a 'living hell.' It reflects on the human tendency to share secrets, despite promises to keep them, highlighting the conflict between the desire to confide in others and the obligation to maintain trust. The lyrics 'Why do you smile like you've been told a secret? Now you're telling lies 'cause you have sworn to keep it' suggest the burden of carrying a secret and the deceit that often accompanies it.

Furthermore, the song includes a dialogue where a promise is made to never reveal a secret, emphasizing the seriousness with which secrets are often treated. The repetition of 'You swore you'd never tell' underscores the betrayal felt when a secret is disclosed. The song's eerie tone and the theme of secrecy align with the mysterious and suspenseful atmosphere of 'Pretty Little Liars,' a show centered around the unraveling of secrets and the consequences that follow.
