I've got a secret.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
It's on the back of my lungs.
And I'm gonna keep it.
I know something you don't know.
It sits in silence.
Eats away at me.
It feeds like cancer.
This guilt could fill a fucking sea.
Pulling teeth, wolves at my door.
Now falling and failing is all I know.
This disease is getting worse.
I counted my blessings, now I'll count this curse
The only thing I really know... I can't sleep at night.
I'm buried and breathing in regret, yeaahhhhh
The only thing I really know... I can't sleep at night.
I'm buried and breathing in regret.
I've got a secret.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
It's on the back of my lungs.
And I'm gonna keep it.
I know something you don't know.
I've got a secret.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
It's on the back of my lungs.
And I'm gonna keep it.
I know something you don't know.
Oh. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bring_me_the_horizon/chelsea_smile.html ]
I may look happy, but honestly dear,
The only way I'll really smile is if you cut me ear to ear.
I see the vultures, they watch me bleed.
They lick their lips, as all the shame spills out of me.
Repent, repent! The end is nigh!
Repent, repent! We're all going to die!
Repent, repent! These secrets will kill us!
So get on your knees and pray for...
Repent, repent! The end is nigh!
Repent, repent! We're all going to die!
Repent, repent! These secrets will kill us!
So get on your knees and pray for forgiveness!
We all carry these things,
Inside that no one else can see.
They hold us down like anchors.
They drown us out at sea.
I look up to the sky.
There may be nothing there to see.
But if I don't believe in him,
Why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?
Rawr.
I've got a secret.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
It's on the back of my lungs.
And I'm gonna keep it.
I know something you don't know.
I've got a secret.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
It's on the back of my lungs.
And I'm gonna keep it.
I know something you will never know.
You will never know.
I know something you don't know.
The meaning of this song could be several ideas rolled into one. The first could be the obvious beating the world can give us, forcing us to smile when we're most down just because we want to be accepted, and the second could be the asking of god to rid the world of this social bind, and also the doubt from so many prayings that have gone unanswered. As for the secret part, it could be that his beliefs are already gone, that he doesn't believe anymore, or it could be something closer to him. We won't know unless we asked them ourselves.

If you know a secret, you should write it down on a piece of paper and through it away because it only causes fights and arguments between friends or even family. Alot of teenagers who hang arund in groups at school of any type will know

My meaning to "chelsea smile"? When you ask me to write my meaning nothing comes to mind. I simply listen to it because the screaming & singing thing is what i dig. It's pretty awesome & i think that "bring me the horizon" is a pretty epic band. Excellent song, & music by far.

I think its about looking back at your mistakes and living with them and pretending to be happy while under the scrutiny of others.

Why does everything have to come down to religion? Obviously, oliver is referring to a personal secret & how he doesn't trust anybody with it. (if i don't believe in him, how could he believe in me? )
"the only thing i really know... I can't sleep at night.
I'm buried and breathing in regret. "
He's regretting whatever he did & it occupys his thoughts, hence him not sleeping at night. And the part where it says "i may look happy, but honestly dear the only way i'll really smile is if you cut me frome ear to ear. " shows his unhappiness & yes, a chelsea grin is cutting a victim's face from ear to ear to make it look as though they are smiling.
How is this religious? I don't know. But honestly, society would be better without religion. It controls us. & it's only for those who are afraid of their mistakes and the unknown. It allows us to pretend that our mistakes are forgiven by an unseen person, but you have to forgive yourself. Humans as a whole are weak & they need something to believe in. I do not. Live your life god free & believe in yourself!
