it mean you can trust no one else with a secret of your own...so dont tell anyone ore others will know your secret
Another way to think of it: What is the definition of a secret? Something that one person knows...
This quote means that if one person tells two people a secret, then decides he wants to keep it a secret...then he must kill the people he told. Thus, the secret will remain mute.
If there are three people and two of them are dead then only one person knows the secret. It says that a secret is not safe if more then one person knows about it.

It means you have a guilty secret. Just imagine if you had a dead body in your closet. You wouldn't want anyone to know it. If someone has a 'skeleton in their closet' it means that they have a secret from their past that they are hiding. a shameful and shocking secret that people try to keep hidden
NEVER!! I've been waiting for three years and they keep saying "next year"!
Keep secret.
"shooting a dead horse"means that you are repeatedly doing or saying something that is pointless because of the fact that the said "problem" you keep addressing has already been resolved. this is comparable to shooting a dead horse because if the horse is already dead, shooting it again isn't going to make it any more dead. Plus that would be a tremendous waste of bullets...
Literally, this is going to be a fast, rough ride and your hat will blow off if you don't hang on to it. Figuratively, we're going to do something fast with few precautions.
Benjamin Franklin is known for putting a lot of wise sayings into his "Poor Richard's Almanac." One of these is the saying, " Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead." This means that trusting others with a secret is a bad idea, because nobody can ever really keep it quiet.
"Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead."
What he meant was the only true way to keep something secret is to trust it to only yourself. Just as the three shared trust enough for the secret, they also individually have those they trust to whom they may reveal the secret. It will no longer be a secret if it spread outside of the original three.
It mean that you should not tell people your secrets or they will have to die.In other words if you tell other people your secrets they might not keep it which sometimes you will have to kill them so they can keep it(dead people can't talk).So its the same for two can only keep a secret if one of them is dead.Example if I kill someone and I tell you to keep it a secret but you can't so I have to kill you too so you can keep it because you will die.

The song is called Secret by The Pierces... 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 smile Like you have told a secret Now you're telling lies Cause you're the one to keep it But no one keeps a secret No one keeps a secret Why when we do our darkest deeds Do we tell? They burn in our brains Become a living hell Cause everyone tells Everyone tells… 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 the m is dead… Look into my eyes Now you're getting sleepy Are you hypnotized By secrets that you're keeping? I know what you're keeping I know what you're keeping 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… [spoken] Alison? Yes, Katherine. I have something I want to tell you, but you have to promise to never tell anyone. I promise Do you swear on your life? I swear on my life [end spoken] You swore you'd never tell… You swore you'd never tell… You swore you'd never tell… You swore you'd never tell… 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 the m is dead… (chorus x 3) Yes two can keep a secret If one of them is…. Dead.
Benjamin Franklin, in "Poor Richard's Almanac" and it means that you can trust no one but your self with your own secret...so tell nobody -------------- In volume four of The history of the life and times of Cardinal Wolsey Prime Minister to King Henry VIII by George Cavendish, published by Joseph Grove in 1744, King Henry VIII is quoted as saying essentially the same thing: "three can keep Counsel if two be away ; and, if I knew my Cap was privy to my Counsel, I would cast it into the Fire, and burn it" Since Henry predates Franklin by at least a couple hundred years, the attribution to him indicates that the saying was current long before Ben was born. Even the mention of this saying in a book published in 1744 casts doubt on it being original to Franklin.
