Secrets - The Man That Never Was Lyrics






I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
Pissed off at myself for what I’ve done
I’ve been down this path
I’ve felt the wrath of the sins from my past
It burns so deep
What I’ve done to you I’ll never escape
It burns so deep
You’re everything I’ll never be

I need to open my eyes to see again to see the way I was back then
Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again
Tear open my chest to dig around and tell me why I’m such a mess
I got a fear that my heart got up and left

Oh I’m somewhere drifting hanging out with regret
We're laughing making jokes of past things I did
I call apathy my one and only friend
Keep a distance I could be contagious

I’m a little twisted and in dire need of assistance
I won’t quit these habits if I know I can't have it
Because, because I’m sick, I’m a dick
I’m quick with my words
Draw on me you'll get hurt
I’m scum, I’m numb
There's nothing you can do to me that I haven't done

I need to open my eyes to see again to see the way I was back then
Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again
Tear open my chest to dig around and tell me why I’m such a mess
I got a fear that my heart got up and left

I am a shadow the hollowed out shell of a man that was
You're my mistake
You're my mistake
I’m the villain
Of this metropolis
I’ll sink this ship
I’ll burn this bridge
I’ll end what little life we're in

I need to open my eyes to see again to see the way I was back then
Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again
Tear open my chest to dig around and tell me why I’m such a mess
I got a fear that my heart got up and left

Does it make sense to feel so spent?
Get this off my chest
Has the best of me came and went
Is this feeling passing? I keep asking
Is this temporary? Please be temporary

They say it gets better with time
Well it's been time enough and I want to live my life
I let you down now you've got me on hold
I just want to go home

Secrets The Man That Never Was Comments
  1. k.... a....

    I feel like I'm teenager. 😂

  2. J.... M....

    I covered a SECRETS song! Check it out (:
    https://youtu.be/Q_Pp9melxkA

  3. l.... ....

    So underrated, I love this band

  4. T.... G....

    I love this band so much, their vocals and everything make it so beautiful and I love their lyrics it's truly inspirational.

  5. D.... ....

    When SECRETS sings:
    I need to open my eyes to see again to see the way I was back then
    I hear:
    I need to open my eyes to see if i can just see to find a way I was back then

    D.... ....

    They actually sing "if I can find the way I was back then" between those lines. People on riserecords are stupid enough to type it wrong

  6. D.... W....

    "I am a shadow the hollowed out shell of a man that was" BEST BREAKDOWN out of all there songs! Hands down!

  7. L.... A....

    I miss Aaron, anyone else?

  8. K.... N....

    i'm the only who likes mixing alot? wow people...make your own songs and be happy then

  9. P.... M....

    Is this feeling passing? I keep asking
    Is this temporary? Please be temporary

    its just me or i didnt hear that part on the song

    P.... M....

    is heard behind but very low

  10. H.... ....

    I like the song, but I just can't seem to feel much from it, is that the same for anybody else? like, I don't know how to explain it, it just leaves like an empty feeling in my ears. maybe it's the mixing, but I know nothing about music theory so I don't know what to say.

  11. A.... A....

    JUST FOR MOMENTS IT SOUNDS LIKE ALESANA 😐😐😐

  12. Z.... ....

    I think the lyrics are wrong. Isn't it?

    I need to open my eyes to see again to see if I can find the way I was back then***
    Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again
    Tear open my chest to dig around and tell me why I’m such a mess
    I got a fear that my heart got up and left

  13. Z.... C....

    has anyone noticed that theirs lyrics that aren't sang read the bottom about the feeling passing

  14. f.... ....

    You're my mistake
    I’m the villain
    Of this metropolis
    I’ll sink this ship
    I’ll burn this bridge
    I’ll end what little life we're in

    Best Part By far

  15. E.... T....

    Sounds like an old school Underøath song. Nasty!

  16. D.... ....

    Just perfect.

  17. f.... ....

    Overall, the New album is brilliant, there are weak points but everything has the good and the bad, this song has a bit more of the severity that SECRETS had in FF and it may sound a bit Djent but hey they've been a band since 2009, 6 years and if you were still producing the same sound over and over people would get bored... this may be an unpopular opinion but it's mine, so enjoy the music for the music

    f.... ....

    I agree man. I applaud you for your opinion

    f.... ....

    +Anthony Paul cheers man :)

    f.... ....

    +ATTAK What the fuck man thats his sister dont eat her chicken nuggets

    f.... ....

    +connor hayes what the fuck x'D

  18. B.... ....

    It's good but I miss the fragile figures kinda secrets I expected more from this album

  19. S.... P....

    Dear engineers,
    TURN UP THE DAMN GUITAR! AND BASS! wtf is this ? Like the song sounds descent, but wtf is going on with the instruments? This song just sounds dead with singing.

    S.... P....

    The quality is bad here. It sounds fine on Spotify

  20. P.... T....

    "I'm sick, I'm a dick"

    *cringe*

    P.... T....

    I actually prefer this softer, more post-hardcorish sound they're going for but those lyrics have got to improve next release or I will shittalk them to no end without a second thought about it

    P.... T....

    +Peter Tanner Not to mention "Does it make sense, to feel so spent? *Has the best of me came and went*?", wonderful grammar.

  21. P.... C....

    Catchy.

  22. G.... M....

    so far this is way better then the last two singles
    Cause left behind is the best of the three singles
    And loling at the complainers they haven't changed the cleans and type of lyrics ever so the complainers make me scratch my head how this is a dull album are you stupid? This sounds different cuz it's a new screamer and why would you want them to do the same exact sound as long as it sounds good
    People will always complain
    And true fans will like them no matter what they do
    Not their fault their screamers leave the band

  23. g.... ....

    YES! That's IT!

  24. T.... ....

    Like Wade's screams but Aaron was what really drove me to this band. definitely missed

  25. O.... ....

    I need to hear this live this Sunday at chain reaction

  26. F.... A....

    that clean voice.... alesana? XD

    F.... A....

    Richard Rogers is a whole world better than the dude from Alesana, especially live

    F.... A....

    @***** punten a' XD

    F.... A....

    +Fajar Arif Yeah, I always think of Alesana when I hear this song!

    F.... A....

    Yup lol

  27. A.... ....

    Sounds good just wish the heavy parts lasted longer

  28. H.... Z....

    I'm having an orgasm.

  29. I.... S....

    Anyone else expected The Flood by Of Mice & Men to start playing when this song started?

    I.... S....

    you mean the depths?

    I.... S....

    No. The Depths begins with closed hihats. The Flood, like this song, does not.

    I.... S....

    +Ignacio Sanchez ahh ok

  30. V.... G....

    The production, like others mentioned, does indeed sound quite weird, it's not as enjoyable and leaves less of an impact than the one they had for Fragile Figures. As a whole, the album certainly isn't bad at all, but it really doesn't hold up to the quality and overall catchiness of FF.

    V.... G....

    its something new, an experiment, it sounds amazing and it opens so many paths for secrets and the new album is ,in my opinion and people may argue with me, is the mix of FF and TA with the Emotions of Renditions, and to conclude my opinion this is the best SECRETS album there is :)

    V.... G....

    +ATTAK I agree!!!! but FF is still my favorite but I do love this album

  31. M.... P....

    Breakdowns <3

  32. l.... m....

    terrible ce son ce groupe et vraiment génial.

  33. M.... H....

    with that beginning rift and how the clean vocals come out I kinda got that alesana vibe. who else felt that? this album is not fragile figures but I still respect this new direction they're going in.

  34. w.... ....

    Good song, but the mixing is pretty awful.

    w.... ....

    +tjisatotalsellout Not really my kind of music, haha.

    w.... ....

    +winter That has honestly been my biggest complaint with this record. It feels super weak and it feels like theres no punch or low end at all.

    w.... ....

    Listen to this on Spotify, the quality is all muddy mids here for wharever reason

    w.... ....

    winter I think its pretty great... idk what you’re trying to say

  35. A.... M....

    The mixing sounds pretty shite

    A.... M....

    +Alex McGinnis-Yates Could be YouTube.

    A.... M....

    +Alex McGinnis-Yates It is YouTube

  36. F.... S....

    This is very weirdly mixed...but other than that.
    noice.
