'Dark Secret' ('The Craft')

'Dark Secret' by Matthew Sweet, featured in the powerful "beach scene" from 'The Craft'. I couldn't find a short video of the actual scene. I did find the whole film on Daily Motion, of which the scene appears at 53:20 below. When they initially walk through the cave-like rock structure, it reflects the concept shown in many films of the downtrodden and marginalized coming up from out of the ground; finally emerging to the surface. The film 'Gangs of New York' portrays one such example of this in the opening scene (followed by the fight sequence).

One interesting sidenote of the film is that the young women invoked the male godhead, referring to "him" rather than the female goddess. Perhaps it's neither here nor there, but I would think that Hollywood would have stuck firmly to the goddess. Of course, there are both god and goddess in European witchcraft or Wicca; the divine masculine and the divine feminine.

'Dark Secret' - Matthew Sweet

You are sickened by the weakness
Of a heart that's filled with fear
And if the world won't understand you
You can make it disappear

'Cause there's a dark secret
Carry with you
Carry with you
And deep inside, the way you hate them

On the outside, doesn't show
And oh, they think that they defy you
They are slaved to what you know
It's a dark secret

Carry with you
Carry with you
And it's a dark secret

Carry with you…
