Well I've got a secret, I cannot say
Blame all the movement to give it away
You've got somethin', I understand
Holding it tightly, caught on command
Leap of faith, do you doubt?
Cut you in, I just cut you out
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Look for reflections, in your face
Canine devotion, time can't erase
Out on the corner, locked in your room
I never believe them and I never assume
Still can't believe there is a lie
Promises promise, an eye for an eye
We've got something to reveal
No one can know how we feel
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell
I think you already know
How far I'd go not to say
You know the art is gone
And I'm taking this all to the grave
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell
Blame all the movement to give it away
You've got somethin', I understand
Holding it tightly, caught on command
Leap of faith, do you doubt?
Cut you in, I just cut you out
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Look for reflections, in your face
Canine devotion, time can't erase
Out on the corner, locked in your room
I never believe them and I never assume
Still can't believe there is a lie
Promises promise, an eye for an eye
We've got something to reveal
No one can know how we feel
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell
I think you already know
How far I'd go not to say
You know the art is gone
And I'm taking this all to the grave
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell

this song couldn'nt be about fucking----then how could it be a secret he can't say, if he told you(the secret must be something he can't openly reveal)
"I think you already know
How far I'd go not to say
You know the art isn't gone
And I'm taking this all to the grave"
other bands and people(the art isn't gone) have also tried to reveal these secrets without openly saying
........................................................................................
there are big dangers in revealing the secret, so he says:
"Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
But fear not, you can not be controlled unless you allow yourself to be. You have free will, nobody can ever take that from you. Many are awakening now just before the end of the long cycle. You sound like me not so long ago right before I was awakened. I felt as though something was... WRONG with everything. I do not know if you've had a similar experience.
In the short term I would humbly suggest exploring "Auto Pilot" "Better Living Through Chemistry" and "In the Fade". Hopefully you will have a more positive experience than the thoughts conjured up by this song. Love and light to you...
"I think you already know
How far I'd go not to say
You know the art is gone
And I'm taking this all to the grave"
-This is trying to lament us with how much it kills us not just out and say everything. The part about "taking it to the grave" I believe may be ironic in that hes singing a song about it, or it could be literal, since he doesnt just come out and say it.
There is little time. There are dozens of songs Ive heard that are referring to this in some way, figure it out for yourself, you will never believe me if I just tell you: QOTSA songs: Better Living Through Chemistry, Into the Fade, and Auto-Pilot. Semisonic - Closing Time.
Lol, just watched the music video for Go With the Flow. They are hitting you over the head with it if you know what youre looking for... The sperm, the flowers... a huge nuclear like explosion in the background.
Anyways, if this makes you agitated or afraid, and you dont feel curious, then dont look into it. Proof from the song Auto-Pilot: "I never seen you before. But now that I have, I don't wanna see you no more" This is how I felt... although I dont regret it now.
Bush: Little Things(this is about the stereotypical person who figures it out: dyslexic/add symptoms such as: forgetting about "little things" in life e.g; remembering to buy food/toiletries to survive, yet up in head thinking about philosophical things[trying to save the world from itself])
The Beatles: Day in the Life (this is about the awakening process, the first part of the song ends in a cacophony, then "woke up, fell out of bed" which is how we feel, because when we start getting REALLY close to the answer, we finish the whole puzzle ALL at once, its like finishing a partial word on Wheel of Fortune.)(also, i believe the whole "i love to turn you on" thing that is repeated over and over is about the almost insatiable need to make people happy in some way; e.g: entertainers, scientists who do it for the human race, not for money, etc)
Incubus - Drive (and I suspect most of the album)
Flock of Seagulls - I Ran
(tons of 1 hit wonders or only a few good songs type-bands... its the only song that works for a REASON)
The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Live - Lakini's Juice
and thanks you @moon
Another commentator/user says this: "this song reminds me of the other planets out there, and the rest of the universe. It makes me think of the trillions of different places in the cosmos that are yet to be discovered, and the mysteries that still remain on our own planet. I'm not sure who the "we" refers to where it says "We'll find the time to show you." The part that says "All that we've been through brings my soul so close to you" reminds me of two people who have been through or seen a lot in this world. They are ready to stop trying to control everything in their own little world, step back and appreciate the bigger picture."
So yeah, it's about sex, and about something taboo, but not about underage sex.

the title "lost art fo keeping a secret" is because nowdays people fuck and tell everyone about it in details and everything..when it says "blame modern movemen"t its saying that sex has become such a common thing now.
