Wall Of Glass
Liam Gallagher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You would keep the secrets in ya'
You've been keeping paraphernalia, oh
I think you know
Anyone can walk up to ya'
Anyone can see right through your eyes
All night

And I don't mean to be unkind
But I see what's in your mind
And the stone you throw



Will turn back in its path
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass
Wall of glass
Wall of glass
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass

You believe in fascinations
And designer vaccinations, love
You get along
You were sold a one direction
I believe the resurrection's on
And you were wrong

And I don't mean to be unkind
But I see what's in your mind
And the stone you throw
Will turn back in its path
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass
Wall of glass
Wall of glass
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass

And I don't mean to be unkind
But I see what's in your mind
And the stone you throw
Will turn back in its path
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass
Wall of glass
Wall of glass
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Liam Gallagher's "Wall of Glass" tell a tale of a person who is living a life of secrets and is afraid of being exposed by anyone. The first verse portrays this person as someone who has a stash of secrets that they want to keep hidden from the world, but their eyes give them away, and anyone can see right through them. The chorus is then a warning to this person that their secrets will catch up to them, and they will end up shattering like a wall of glass. In the second verse, Gallagher sings about how this person believes in things like fascinations and the power of designer vaccinations, and how they have been sold on a certain notion of resurrection that he believes to be wrong.


The repeated refrain, "And I don't mean to be unkind, but I see what's in your mind," brings the song's themes to the forefront. Gallagher seems to be warning that if people don't start being honest with themselves, they will crumble under the weight of their secrets and beliefs. The line "the stone you throw will turn back in its path" is a metaphor for karma, suggesting that the things we do and say will eventually come back to us.


Overall, "Wall of Glass" is a warning to people that they can't live their lives in secrecy and lies forever. Eventually, the truth will come out, and they will have to face the consequences of their actions.
