Many bored people surfing the internet have already seen the tedious music video that is “Secrets.” The up-and-coming artist Mary Lambert released her debut album on October 14 titled Heart on my Sleeve. Lambert’s first music video for her song “Secrets” was released as well.

The song “Secrets” starts out sounding like your everyday auto-tuned pop song—it has the typical toe-tap-alicious beat, profanity in the second verse, and catchy lyrics that immediately ingrain themselves into your brain. The first verses of the song are simply Lambert listing all the things wrong with her, which gets a little pedantic after a while.The song has a good message. Lambert doesn’t care if the world knows what her secrets are, and she encourages her listeners to let go of their secrets as well.

The music video for “Secrets” has little to do with the actual song, but that’s how most music videos go. It begins with Lambert surrounded by a bunch of children dancing around while she sings. There are other scenes of Lambert surrounded by other people jumping and having a good time, a band playing her music, Lambert as a therapist talking to herself, but the most confusing one is the scene where Lambert is dressed as a Viking.

Yeah, a Viking. How that has anything to do with letting go of your secrets, I have no idea. It starts with Lambert looking as confused as we are, and then ten seconds in she begins to sing a high pitched, opera note. Perhaps this is supposed to be a complex metaphor for life and letting go of the things that haunt you, or perhaps the directors of the music video thought that they already had too many scenes of people dancing around Lambert. It’s also possible that the opera note plus the Viking costume is a reference to Wagnerian Opera, elaborate operas done by Richard Wagner that were mostly based on Norse mythology- so, Vikings. To put your confusion in a box and wrap it up with a nice big bow, the Viking scene transitions into the rest of the video like nothing even happened.

Oh, don’t forget about the confetti! If you’re ever in a snag and can’t come up with another scene for your music video, just have people throw confetti everywhere while dancing. It’ll look completely different from all the other dancing scenes.

Despite the drawbacks in the music video for “Secrets,” the song has a good message and good intentions. It already has inspired many people to be free about their feelings and to open up about the things that don’t line up with society. The song, as most of Lambert’s songs, is inspired by Lambert’s traumatic past and feelings that she has had to hide. But if Mary Lambert doesn’t get a new director for her music videos, a traumatic and confusing future is in store for all.
