Fools they think I do not know
The road I'm taking
If you meet me on the way
Hesitating
That is just because I know which way I will choose

The corridors of discontent
That I've been traveling
All alone in search for truth
The world's so frightning
Nothing's going right today
'Cos nothing ever does

Oooh, I don't wanna know your secrets
Oooh, they lie heavy on my head
Oooh, let's break the night with colour
Time for me to move ahead

Monday morning coming down
like understanding
Mama thinks you are the ground
Looking so frightning
Nothing's going right today
'Cos nothing ever does

Oooh, I don't wanna know your secrets
Oooh, they lie heavy on my head
Oooh, let's break the night with colour
Time for me to move ahead

Time for me to break my cover
Time for me to move ahead

Been givin' up
You will come again

Oooh, I don't wanna know your secrets
Oooh, they lie heavy on my head
Oooh, let's break the night with colour
Time for me to move ahead

Time for us to move ahead

    General Comment:I agree with lenna and kingjojo14 but when you know a secret from someone it is suppose to stay that way right? obviously leaving this person is the only way to move forward.only way to see a bit of light. I am pretty new to ashcroft solo stuff but until now this is one of my favourite song. everybody must have been to something similar in their lives

    General Comment:meaning for any kind of art is in the eye of the beholder, not the creater, for me this is a very powerful song, the words
    "Oooh, I don't wanna know your secrets
    Oooh, they lie heavy on my head
    Oooh, let's break the night with colour
    Time for me to move ahead"
    is very loaded, it reminds me of a relationship i had to get out of because far too much was expected of me, i cudn face the burden of knowing all her secrets as it is

    General Comment:Definatly based around Ashcroft's depression, but theres more to it than that, its not just self pity.He's opened his feelings up, given the listener things they can relate to. 'Nothings going right today, coz nothing ever does...' We've all been there. Epic lyrics, as always, and love the the flute part, really original. Love it!

    General Comment:Damn lyrics are wrong again on this site...... is actually
    1) lack understanding not "like understanding" big difference.
    2) Mama thinks you are the clown not "Mama thinks you are the ground???

    General Comment:from the man himself....

    "I suppose this about breaking through depression and darkness and finding light. I wrote it on a harpsichord and it was probably the first thing I recorded for the album, about three years ago."

    Richard Ashcroft

    General Comment:These lyrics are most definitely about depression 'nothings going right today, cos nothing ever does' ... sums its up entirely really and its well documented that Richard himself has suffered from depression a lot in life. God Mr Ashcroft you are such a genius song writer.

    I love this part. To me this part means that the questions/ secrets of life are to heavy to think about, and could bring you down. In the search for truth you' ll find more questionmarks, but no answers. So 'cut the crap' it's time to move on.
