about

Watching a loved one hold onto a lie is heart-breaking; Secrets tells a story of family betrayal through a cathartic, aggressive explosion of emotion. Vanitas take inspiration from nostalgic video-game soundtracks and orchestral soundscapes to create what they coin ‘cinematic djent’

lyrics

Verse 1:

Looking Back it’s all a haze,
A little girl with selfish ways.

Wrapped around your finger so,
You could collect the debts she owed.

Looking back it’s all a game,
Turn the heat up and feel the flames.
Cut my feet and run away-
Voices in my head say.

Chorus:

Sometimes it’s hard to know-
The secrets that you hold, that you’re not letting go.

Sometimes it’s hard to know-
You’d gladly sell your soul,
I’m just another broken home.

Home, home.

Re-intro:
No more
No more
No more
No more

Verse 2:

Standing here I feel the same-
A little girl, it comes in waves.
Eyes glazed over, overflow-
Why can I not let you go?

Standing here I feel a tool,
Subjected to something so cruel.
Still I runaway,
Voices in my head say.

Chorus:

Sometimes it’s hard to know-
The secrets that you hold, that you’re not letting go.

Sometimes it’s hard to know-
You’d gladly sell your soul,
I’m just another broken home.

Breakdown:

I will not conform
System shutdown
System shutdown

Chorus:

Sometimes it’s hard to know-
The secrets that you hold, that you’re not letting go.

Sometimes it’s hard to know-
You’d gladly sell your soul,
I’m just another broken home.

Sometimes it’s hard to know-
The secrets that you hold, that you’re not letting go.

Sometimes it’s hard to know-
You’d gladly sell your soul,
I’m just another broken home.
