Lord Huron - Secret Of Life Lyrics






I sit alone in the dark, and I try to remember
The words you spoke when you summoned the Ender
You chained my life to an ancient master
Will the curse be reversed if I say it backwards?

What you crossed was a line at the edge of the void
And you can't crawl back without making a choice
But then something escaped when you opened the gate
You cheated death and sealed your fate

(1, 2, 3, 4)

Put on your new dress tonight
And look to the west, the moon's in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
Wanna leave the Earth and my things behind
You told me you're never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can't forget that look in your eye

Been a long time gone, living out on the coast
It's a long way back from the edge of the cosmos
Truths once known never come unknown
I learned that lesson lives ago
To die for good, it must be earned
The ways of death can never be learned
And the life I've lived is only dust
The darkness comes for all of us

Put on your new dress tonight
And I look to the west, the moon's in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
Wanna leave the Earth and all things behind
You told me you're never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can't forget that look in your eye

Lord Huron Secret Of Life Comments
  1. l.... ....

    i love this song

  2. K.... M....

    Playing this song through a speaker pressed to my belly for my unborn son. 😊 Gotta introduce this boy to the best music now, so he'll be a fan at birth.

  3. H.... H....

    *Lord Huron passed the vibe check*

  4. Z.... S....

    I wish I could describe the experience of listening to this song for the first time, it's like a fever dream. I've been bingeing this band for like a month and have yet to find a song that didn't amaze me. Thank you Lord Huron!

  5. I.... A....

    Uma das melhores do álbum 🎶😎😍

  6. B.... P....

    This band has changed my perspective.

  7. M.... S....

    This song is AMAZING! Please make another album!!!

  8. P.... ....

    'I sit alone in the dark and I try remember the words you spoke when you summoned the Ender. You chained my life to ancient master. Will the curse be reversed if I say it backwards?" I get chills during that line.

  9. B.... H....

    This song just slays me. All day at work I was cruising along on a California Highway or in a Spaghetti Western and Moon Doggie was at the beach! 😂

    B.... H....

    Beverly Hayshouston California for sure thank god I live here

  10. J.... W....

    Just saw them tonight at Merriweather in Columbia Maryland. I dare say they sound even better live which I thought impossible. Go see them live, you won't regret it. They're an amazing performance.

    J.... W....

    I was at that show too! that was the first time I'd heard them play it live and it was magical!

  11. S.... H....

    Saw them last night in Kingston NY. This track is AMAZING live.

  12. S.... G....

    The start of the track with the opening vocal sequence seems to be a blatant stylistic rip-off of Half Moon Run's She Wants to Know, which came out years before this. Listen - https://youtu.be/HPyd_i6ZtIM

  13. F.... P....

    "the words you spoke when you summoned the ender"

    The world ender

    vide noir definitely does have continuations of strange trails narrative.

    F.... P....

    Matthew Hyndman some of the songs like emerald star and back from the edge give me lonesome dreams vibes as well

    F.... P....

    @Ashley Schultz yeah I love the whole narrative continuation between albums some of the storylines remind me of stuff that's happened in my own life and I'm sure it's the same for many others.

    F.... P....

    It's bigger story line. Their "Products of the Universe" video illustrates the story line for Vide Noir really well I think.

    F.... P....

    @Frozen Pines that is certainly the case for me, it practically describes a relationship I have had with a person to the point it actually kinda haunts me, including people and places that have parallels to the people and places in my life. I’d say right now I’m sitting in the “Emerald Star/The Night We Met” part of the story.

  14. I.... S....

    Oh my sweet god wtf is this beautiful master piece? I couldn't click like enough times, this is so good my dudes like wtf i'm gonna go put this on at the bar. I've probably listened to this like 10 times in the past hour and it's not stopping there. I never comment on music but holy crap 402 likes? That should be hundreds of millions, you just scored one new fan <3! Keep making stuff like this please.

    I.... S....

    Idledan Spaceman me too!

    I.... S....

    Listen to their songs the yawning grave as well as when the night is over.

    I.... S....

    @Aya's Reviews and toy colections different vibe but still great.

  15. S.... -....

    Boutta bop to this if they play it at the concert I'm going to

  16. R.... U....

    Your music is something extraordinary. All the props for the people who contributed to create such great songs ( album in overall). Thank you so much

  17. I.... C....

    I sit alone in the dark, and I try to remember
    The words you spoke when you summoned the Ender
    You chained my life to an ancient master
    Will the curse be reversed if I say it backwards?
    What you crossed was a line at the edge of the void
    And you can’t cross back without making a choice
    But then something escaped when you opened the gate
    You cheated death and sealed your fate
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    One, two, three, four
    Put on your new dress tonight
    And look to the west, the moon’s in the sky
    I wanna get at least that high
    I wanna leave the Earth and my things behind
    You told me you’re never gonna die
    How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
    You showed me the secret of life
    I can’t forget that look in your eye
    Been a long time gone, living out on the coast
    It’s a long way back from the edge of the cosmos
    Truths once known never come unknown
    I learned that lesson lives ago
    To die for good, it must be earned
    The ways of death can never be learned
    And the life I’ve lived is only dust
    The darkness comes for all of us
    Put on your new dress tonight
    And I look to the west, the moon’s in the sky
    I wanna get at least that high
    Wanna leave the Earth and all things behind
    You told me you’re never gonna die
    How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
    You showed me the secret of life
    I can’t forget that look in your eye
    La, da, da
    La, da ,da

    I.... C....

    Idamis Calero nd

    I.... C....

    The lyrics remind me of the drifter from destiny 2

  18. R.... W....

    This album has changed my life and this band is out of this world

  19. S.... A....

    Rogue Wave vibes

  20. T.... I....

    Started singing in class because this music hits me on a spiritual level

  21. A.... T....

    At first I was just looking at songs based on views, but views and ratings don’t matter, just listen to everything and decide what you like. This doesn’t have many views but is a great song.

    A.... T....

    Arc Airsoft exactly

    A.... T....

    honestly ya just gotta like what you like. i like a lot of less popular bands that create absolute bops, and nobody knows what im talking about half the time but hey! im enjoying myself

    A.... T....

    Great that you figured that out! Views don't mean shit.

  22. b.... J....

    1:02 Does anybody gets an Arabian vibe or is it just me? I totally live it!

  23. D.... ....

    👍👍💕
