Lyrics for Secret Crowds as interpreted by afitch1206

Secret Crowds Lyrics
If I had my own world
I'd fill it with love and desire
My heart is past you admire
And voices of kids out walking, dogs, birds, planes, trees and cars
If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more wars death or riots, there'd be no more faiths, packed parking lots, guns, bombs sounding off,
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farmlands
To spread love like violence
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farmlands
To spread love like violence

Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

If I had my own world
I'd show you the life that's inside it
The way that it glows when you find it
The way it survives with it's familys, friends or arch enemys
Let's make this the new world
I swear you can go if you'd want to
I know that you have that within you
Inventing the first great musical, God's greatest miracle
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farmlands
To spread love like violence
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farmlands
To spread love like violence

Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

This song is awesome! The new album is gonna be sweet, it seems Tom realized how to make good music again, it's nowhere near as good as blink, but it's still pretty good.

I really like this song, along with Sirens. I'd bet on this being the single. I can't wait until I-Empire!!! And yeah nothing beats blink, but ava's just as good but it's just a different type of music, and i really love it!!

Instead of
"If I had my own world
I'd fill it with love and desire
My heart is past you admire..."

It's

"If I had my own world
I'd fill it with wealth and desire.
It's a glorious past to(or you) admire."

Also, instead of this..
"And voices of kids out walking, dogs, birds, planes, trees and cars .."

it's

"And voices of kids out walking dogs, birds, planes, cleanest cars."

Instead of..."There'd be no more police, packed parking lots, guns, bombs sounding off,"

its

"...There would be no more police, packed parking lots, guns, bombs sounding off."

And instead of this "...Inventing the first great musical, God's greatest miracle"

It's ...."Inventing the first clean and usuable, God's greatest miracle."

And of course this, "Let me feel you carry you higher..."
It's,"Let me heal you carry you higher..."

also, I think it's "far lands" not "farmlands" At least on the first part. The second part is questionable.

obviously it's about building yourself an empire.

that's what the whole album is gonna be based on anyway.

empire can be taken literally or metaphorically.

It's about building a new world.
A lot better than what we are in now,
it's about being positive in life, and getting rid
of all bad and negative.

the whole album isn't about building an empire.

The song is about being a better person to people you love or just the world in general. Tom wants the younger generation to start a revolution and change how we live, with I - Empire its the second step in creating something amazing, who knows, there could also be a third part aswell.

very powerful song with damn powerful lyrics. however it kinda drags on for a little too long in my opinion repeating the lyrics a little too much until they eventually start to lose their meaning. still a good song though :D

It's a shame the world over cant feel, and want, what Tom wants in this song. Its and anthem for love among all people and it paints such a beautiful picture of what the world could be like if it was a perfect place.

I cant wait to go to their show and be one of the hundreds of people to "sing back louder"

Favorite one on the album, although it took a few listens in order to appreciate it. Clearly the title track on the album, being how often the word "empire" is used, and it should be too - it's the best one.

I especially like the anthem-style chorus sing near the end.

The acoustic songs are in this order:

The Gift

It Hurts (Live not acoustic)

Good Day

Everythings Magic

The Adventure

All of those listed above are acoustic Except for It Hurts, which is live and is REALLY loud.

One of my favorite songs off of this cd, this album is amazing, its rare for a new cd to be better than the old but they're outdone themselves :)
As far as a meaning I can't say anymore than anyone else so I'll just leave it at that

I believe these are the lyrics(with a couple notes at the end):

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire

If I had my own world
I'd fill it with wealth and desire
A glorious past to(1) admire
And voices of kids out walking dogs,
birds, planes, cleanest cars

If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more wars, death(2), or riots
There'd be no more police, packed parking lots,
guns, bombs, sounding off

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farlands
To spread love like violence

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farlands
To spread love like violence

Let me heal you, carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Here your voices sing back louder

If I had my own world
I'd show you the life that's inside it
The way that it glows when you find it
The way it survives with it's families,
friends or it's enemies

Let's make this a new world
I swear you can go if you want to
I know that you have that within you
Inventing the first clean and usable
God's greatest Miracle

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farlands
To spread love like violence

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farlands
To spread love like violence

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Here your voices sing back louder

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Here your voices sing back louder

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Here your voices sing back louder


1. The way he says this word sounds like Tchoo...Which chould be an inflected you or to. It sounds more like to to me though and to fits much better there for parallel construction, which this song is definitely playing on.

2. This is either death or doubt...I really can't tell with the way it is pronounced. Personally, I think death fits much better in that list than doubt.
