Heart of Glass
Blondie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah
La, da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
"Heart of Glass" by Blondie is a song about a failed love affair, where the singer has been deceived into thinking that their love was real by someone who ultimately had a fickle, fragile heart. There are two distinct parts to the song which reflects the two phases of the relationship. The first phase had the singer thinking their love was "divine" and "the real thing." But they soon realized that it was all an illusion when they discovered their partner was untrustworthy and had a "heart of glass." In the second phase of the relationship, the singer is lost in the illusion of love, even though they know the truth about their partner. They are afraid of losing their partner, but also realize that the relationship has already failed.
The song speaks to the idea of the many illusions we create for ourselves in relationships, whether intentionally or unintentionally. The titular image of the "heart of glass" speaks to the fragility and transparence of love, something that can easily be broken and seen through.

Once I had a love and it was a gas
I once had a love that was exciting and invigorating
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
But it turned out that the love was fragile and easily broken
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Despite appearing genuine, it was not as it seemed
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Doubt and skepticism crept in and the love faded away
Once I had a love and it was divine
I once had a love that felt perfect and heavenly
Soon found out I was losing my mind
But I gradually realized that it was driving me crazy
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
It appeared genuine to me, but I was unaware of the truth
In between
In the midst of these experiences
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
I am enjoying what I have now and feeling content
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
Love is perplexing and doesn't bring any sense of tranquility
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
If I suspect that I am losing your love, it's a terrible feeling
You teasing like you do
You're toying with my emotions and playing games
Lost inside
Feeling trapped and confused
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I am captivated by a charming but false appearance
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
I feel like a pawn in your game, don't discard me like that
We coulda made it cruising, yeah
We could have had a smooth and easy ride, but things went wrong
La, da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Deborah was in this times one of THE SEXIEST WOMEN ALIVE.
Man verglich sie manchmal mit Madonna.
Aber Verdammt = SIE war immer EINE GALAXIE über Madonna.
Sie war Soo COOOL und Untouchable wie keine Blondine im Biz !
Und Ihre Songs sind UNSTERBLICH. - Heute , 40 Jahre später = immer noch Zeitlos.
BLONDIE = Forever !

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he's using it over a theremin to produce that vibrate-y sound. I could be wrong though. :P
