Disclosure Lyric Analysis


I’ll be giving up, oh
Home is where the heart is,
And I gave it to you in a paper bag
Even though it’s tarnished
You told me it’s the best you ever had
You got my secret combination
And I don’t be giving that out easily
With my deepest dedication
You can tell that you were brought the same for me

Within this verse, it appears that the female artist is in love with a male, whom she has given her all to, although she was not fully healed, which may have been from a previous relationship. However, despite this, whoever she is now giving it to, is appreciative and loves it the way it is. She has given him her 'secret combination' which may mean that she has revealed her true self and let her barrier down, which she has been unable to do for anyone else, as she doesn't give it out 'easily'. The last line almost suggests that they were meant to be together and that they are right for one another. 


So please don’t let go, cause you know exactly what we found
So please don’t let go my darling
You keep me locked up underground
It’s gonna be you and me
It’s gonna be everything you’ve ever dreamed
It’s gonna be who and me
It’s gonna be everything and everything, we’re meant to be
We’re meant to be

The chorus reinforces the first verse in the way that this girl does not want the boy to go, as she is in love with him and believes that what they have found is worth keeping for as long as possible. She also believes that what they have, will be everything that he has every dreamed and that they are meant to be.


Rolling with the punches
So they won’t get inside our happiness
Love is always hunted,
But your arrows are soaring through my chest
Cause you know you give me something
Yeah you give me exactly what I need
Got my blood pumping
You know you always draw more blood, I bleed

Within this verse, it seems that they keep anything away from hurting them which suggests that they have a strong relationship together. She claims that things are always trying to get in the way of love, but this has not happened with these two and they protect each other from pain. She then claims that he gives her exactly what she needs, her blood gets pumping, this suggests that she always feels happy and thrilled to be around him and everything which she wants in a person is achieved along with more.


So please don’t let go, cause you know exactly what we found
So please don’t let go my darling
You keep me locked up underground
It’s gonna be you and me
It’s gonna be everything you’ve ever dreamed
It’s gonna be who and me
It’s gonna be everything and everything, we’re meant to be

In you’re big house on the hills
Where you keep your dollar bills
And you stashed my heart
Somewhere in the dark
Keep it safe I know you will
Know you will, know you will
Know you will
I know you will


Again, the theme of being in love is shown in this verse as she acknowledges that she has given her heart to whomever she is with at the moment, and she believes that she can trust in him and he will look after it and keep it safe. This means that she is confident that he will not hurt her and that she is safe with him
