deathproof 10,555 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Spirituality. It's quite literal. "Happiness lies in your own hand." You control your happiness. Don't get caught up in the madness of the world. Even in the depths of misery and suffering, we can do a lot about our perception of happiness. In normal life, when we’re not in the midst of suffering, we can discover the truth that happiness does routinely lay within the grasp of our own hands. - Her lover is the holder of "the secret," that happiness lies in your own hands, and bestows it onto her.

Aiwa08 16,190 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I always thought she discovered her boyfriend was gay. But she still loved him too much and wanted him to be happy. (I'm not joking). Roy, Ivan Z, Prayer and 4 others 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziploc 2,566 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 It's always puzzled me until I read an article that said Secret was about hope and believing in a better future. People tend to equate money with happiness yet when she was broke and living in some of the most deprived areas of New York people were able to still find happiness. And the secret to that happiness was hope. I'm not sure if that makes sense but it does tie in with the video. valinecode, WeYo, LikeAMelody and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayofPrayers 578 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) I'm inclined to say it's about spirituality, the DWT backdrop pretty much confirms it to me.

Maddyone 98 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I've heard everyone say it's about aliens, it was inspired after watching the movie Madonna's Secret (1946), to dealing with a lover that is everything you want but has a drug problem.

byebyebaby 98 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) I really think secret is about a new found understanding of life and existence. Even in like a prayer when she had a black Jesus; madonna has been woke for a long time. and she is Islam "race is an idea, not a fact" Let me give you some real history. "Sixty-six hundred years ago, Shabazz tribe ruled the world, until an evil scientist named Yacub cooked up an experiment.

Prayer 14,275 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 She spent the whole "Bedtime Stories" hotel promo interviews talking about spirituality and the "happiness lies in your own hands" line so there you go. Of course the baby at the end of the video can be interpreted as the "secret" - or just her wish to become a mum back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d really love to know because your post doesn’t make sense. Madonna is an artist and has the freedom to be inspired by whatever artists she wants. And if there’s mischief those artists are adults with a platform and legal teams and can take care of themselves. They don’t need randos to stick up for them on the Internet ? . And when it comes to litigation it’s shocking how few there are (that we know of) for someone with her massive catalogue. Madonna is very cultured and since her pre-fame days has had various sources of inspiration. There’s nothing wrong with that. Any artist with vast knowledge will draw inspiration, since the wheel can’t be reinvented forever. Also there’s no connection between Heartbreak City and Whitney’s Heartbreak Hotel. By that logic Whitney ripped off Elvis Presley’s Heartbreak Hotel ? bitchimmadonna, EgoRod and brank000 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
