Unboxing Lyrics: 5sos Edition *ALBUMS ONLY*

If Walls Could Talk

Written by: Sir Nolan, Julia Michaels, Ashton, Calum and Justin Tranter

Genre: Rock, Alternative Pop

Lyrics and their meaning:

Some things are meant to be secret and not to be heard
So if I tell you, just keep it and don't say a word
Yeah, when the doors are all closing, it's bound to get loud
'Cause all these bodies are hoping to get addicted to sound

The protagonist is hiding something. And if the four walls they live in told the secret to anyone, they'd have the tea! Maybe they were cheating on their partner. WHo knows, only the walls.

Oh, not everything is so primitive
Oh, but I'm giving in

Life isn't simple, but the protagonist is giving in to one that is.

If these walls could talk, I'd hope they wouldn't say anything
Because they've seen way too many things
'Cause we'd fall from grace, we're falling
Yeah, we'd fall from grace
If these walls could talk, I'd hope they wouldn't say anything
Because they've seen way too many things
'Cause we'd fall from grace, we're falling
Yeah, we'd fall from grace
If these walls could talkIf these walls could talk
If these walls could talk

These lyrics are quite straight forward. The protagonist doesn't want society to hear about the secrets they keep because they'd be removed from the privileged life they live.  

I love your hair and your face
I wouldn't dare let you down
Don't let that glass go to waste
Oh, you're a queen but no crownThis could potentially be one of the secrets that the protagonist has. A secret girlfriend. Bringing it to modern times, maybe the protagonist is a female and they are lesbian or bisexual, but her parents don't approve. 

Yay or nay: I'm not going to lie, this song is a bop so YAY!

What it reminds me of: As I've said, the walls can expose secrets that no one wants to hear. I feel like this song is extremely relatable because everyone does have secrets.
