In my opinion, here is what it all means :
The light is on the laying girl, with the closed eyes, because she is representing the external and "not guilty" face we have while keeping a secret and she could say : "I don't know anything, I have no secret and I am not aware of what you're talking about. I am innocent". She looks like a sleepy angel. The light shows the fact this is the face we see, as "external beings" and interlocutors. We can't be sure she has a secret, nor we can guess what the secret is.
The truth is shown by the second girl, which is hidden by darkness. The few gleams of light on her skin shows the doubts of the interlocutors, who can be suspicious. The fact we can't see her stare adds something very mysterious and makes me feel as if we couldn't know who she is in reality.
The secret must be painful, because the hands of the second girl are very sharp, like a witch's hands, and her body looks skinny and hurt. She looks tortured by her secret, and the fact the tortured soul is taking more space in the piece creates some tension, as if the secret was disturbing both girls. The fact the angel is almost totally covered by the second girl makes me wonder if she can really keep that secret silent any longer.
The hair is very long and without any volume, and it looks like they are tired. They seem not to take care of themselves any more. Or maybe hair is a representation of their thoughts, which are like tentacles trapping their minds in the same secret obsession all the time.
The fact there is not colour, only shades of grey, without pitch black or bright white, reminds me of a French saying : "Nothing can be all white or all black" (ca ne peut pas être tout blanc ou tout noir). It gives the impression reality is a weird mix of good things and bad things, a bit dull and without much meaning. The mood of your piece is a bit depressing, as if they were powerless about reality of things. It could be related to "What was that for ? / Try to be bad" : making reality pitch black (i.e. being bad) would be less depressing than seeing it dull and grey, because pitch dark would mean it has a meaning, a cause. It would be defined as something precise, and not a mix of several undetermined things. Thus, it could be easier to fight, because they would know what to fight.
Just my interpretation, though. I don't know if everything is clear because I got lost in my thoughts for some time !
It is a very interesting piece, very thought-provoking

Wowwwww I love reading your interpretations!!! So thoughtful and so inquisitive!
But I'm literally smiling right now from ear to ear just from hearing you say that you got lost in thoughts while thinking about my piece... this is what any artist would like, at least for me, to make other people think and wonder from just looking at your own creations.
You were so damn straight right on some things you noticed like the hair being dull, the skinny figure and the overall grayish tone.
I ALWAYS relate my drawings in a way to the songs I put in the links below, but not entirely of course, usually just a sentence or two I find interesting. Actually, I always choose a song first and only then I start to make a drawing while listening to that song mainly.
But of course I'll leave interpretation to you, for "speech is silver, but silence gold".
It is so fun and inspiring to listen to you, so thanks for making my day as usual

Thanks, friend ! 
I like when people get lost too... It means they try to look for some answers. Even if they don't find them, that's alright for me !
Really ? Glad I fell right on some things ^^
Why do you pick a song beforehand ? Have you ever tried without doing that and found out it wasn't good or something ?
And do you listen to it on repeat while drawing, or just to start ?
Thank you for reading my quite long comment...

Sorry for the huge delay >_<, went to a big festival and didn't get to be on Deviantart ever since :/
Well music takes a huge part of my muse, and I usually tend to draw while listening to music, I can do without it of course but it just helps me set up the 'mood', keeps my spirit up.
Most of the time I just pick the 'theme' song for the drawing, listen to it a couple of times and then move on to listening to other stuff, but I still tend to put on the original one and listen to it every 2 songs XD

No worries at all
Big festival ?
Hahaha ! I can fully relate to that ! Some songs are so powerful you cannot find the same "flow" anywhere else !
What kind of songs do you listen to ?
