The first stanza has a A,B,C,D,E rhyme scheme. The second stanza has a A,B,C,C rhyme scheme. The third and seventh stanzas have a A,B,A,C rhyme scheme. The fourth, eighth, and tenth stanzas have a rhyme scheme of A,B,C. The fifth stanza has a rhyme scheme of A,B,B,C,D. The sixth stanza has a rhyme scheme of A,B,C,D. The nineth stanza has a rhyme scheme of A,A,B,C.
The chorus is repeated a couple of times.
There is assonance in the second stanza with no and so. The third, seventh, and tenth stanzas have assonance with hear, years, and insincere. The fifth stanza has assonance far, stars, and cars. The nineth stanza has assonance with shame and blame.
There is pause at the end of each stanza where they let the music play for a second.
The first stanza has alliteration with "sleeves are stained". In stanzas four and eight there are alliteration with "care if critics".
To me this song means that the world is to cought up in lies and money to relize what is really going on. There are to many people that are too obssessed with themselves to realize anything else.
Secrets by OneRepublic
I need another story
Somethin to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need somethin that I can confess
'Til all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink,no
I've been on the brink, so
Tell me what you want to hear
Somethin that will light those years
Sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
My God, amazining how we got this far
It's like we're chasin all those stars
Who's drivin shiny big black cars
And every day I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Send it straight to gold
I don't really like my flow, no, so
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
Oh, got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'ma tell you everything
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those years
Sick of all the insincere
