Theme
A song that describes a deeply personal and potentially troubled inner world, a mental refuge that is isolating but necessary. This **'secret place'** can be interpreted as a psychological breakdown, a safe haven from reality, or a hidden vice that others run away from.
Lyrics
There's a **secret place** I like to go
Everyone is there but their face don't show
If you get inside you can't get out
There's no coming back, I hear them shout
Welcome to my hide away, my **secret place**
How I arrived I can't explain
You're welcome to, if you want to stay
But everyone just runs away
Let me in, get me out
Can't do more than twist and shout
Lost my soul without a trace
Found it again in my **secret place**
In disgrace
I hide from those that try to find me
Scary things that's right behind me
I lost myself, I must confess
I can't explain how I got this mess
