What is the meaning of the song The Secret by Gabriel Fauré?

Answer 1

• Before we look at the meaning of the song, we must first do some background research on the composer, Gabriel Faure. Gabriel can sometimes be mistaken for Gabrielle, a girl , however the subject is actually a male. This was not the only song composed by this man, however at the current moment in time , other song by him are irrelevant.

Contrary to popular belief, "The Secret" is a song about hatred and disgust that a man has towards a woman. The woman , as of yet is unknown, however the man has an identity revealed towards the end of the song as the tempo and volume increase. He is, in fact somebody she knows ... He despises her as she is in love with another man. He loves her and could never be jealous of him and as she returns the love by the end of the first beat it is evident that they have an unbreakable bond. However also by the end of this beat it is discovered that the woman hates the man and is plotting revenge on him for killing her lover, his brother . The man dislikes his brother but the woman is in love with him. The man could never hate his brother and has always and always will love his brother hates the woman as she hates his brother. The man and the woman are deeply in love and know other characters ,such as relatives are ,mentioned in the song. As the man and woman hate each other, she kill his brother because she hates him. The woman loves the brother. The woman could never love the brother but is deeply in love with the man.

This may seem confusing but by drawing a character web it will make more sense and become evident that the man is actually the man and the brother in one person and the women is in fact the man. Even thought the woman is the man the man and the brother are actually to separate people !

I really hoped this helped, love you xx
