about

This song is about the hyper connectivity of modern life. It is very hard to not betray personal secrets, even accidentally.

lyrics

We march in single file following hidden threads
With hidden strings running to our heads
Just like ants who follow chemicals from their tails
With a single queen who knows everything

Don't tell your secrets
Don't tell your secrets
Don't tell your secrets on a megaphone

We're connected with lasers and electricity
And wires carry light from sea to shining sea
Lightning bugs dance in patterns in their jar
Pushing messages through the air from near to afar

Don't tell your secrets
Don't tell your secrets
Don't tell your secrets on a megaphone

We see the light from the stars in the chair where we sit
We read the messages so we never need to visit
Fireflies caught in jars for all to see
But not to touch or hold like once in an old story

Don't tell your secrets
Don't tell your secrets
Don't tell your secrets on a megaphone

about

Lou Leaves the Room Atlanta, Georgia

I love music. I love listening to music and I love creating music. Some musicians are purists, but I am definitely a tweaker. I try to play music I would want to hear.
