The Pierces - Secret Meaning

Secret Lyrics

Got a secret, can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save,
Better lock it in your pocket, taking this one to the grave.
If I show you, then I know you won't tell what I said,
'Cause two can keep a secret, if one of them is dead.

Why do you...

   The Song 'Secret' is about two friends, Catherine and Allison.
   It focuses on the point of view of Catherine, which is a very sadistic view.
   The song follows Catherine telling Allison a dark secret. Probably something rather life changing, or life threatening.
   When Catherine tells Allison her Secret, Allison swears on her life that she will never tell anyone. This creates tension between the two friends, since Allison is baring a secret.
   Finally, Allison tells someone. As the song builds up and leads to it's climax. Catherine finds out, this leads for a burning hatred for Allison from Catherine. A good example is the way the singer says these lyrics:
   'You swore you'd never tell,' (4x)
   Catherine quickly lashes out against Allison in the climax. As the song speeds up, Catherine quickly ends up assaulting Allison. This leads to Catherine killing Allison.
   As the song finally slows down in the last few seconds, it proves that the deed has been done.

   This is mainly about Catherine, who told Allison a secret but she told someone else so Catherine is getting revenge on Allison. I also think that maybe Catherine is trying to murder Allison for telling the secret.
