She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she is so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working
So what can I do? (Ooh)

When you're out of sight
In my mind

'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us

Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slipping slowly
And find me again

When you're out of sight
In my mind

'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us

Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us

Overall Meaning

In Joji's song "Glimpse of Us," he reflects on his conflicting feelings between his current romantic partner and his past lover. Joji describes his current partner as someone who is able to take the weight of the world off his shoulders and bring color to his life. Despite her being perfect, Joji finds himself wishing for his past lover. He questions why he feels this way and acknowledges that just because something or someone is considered perfect, it doesn't necessarily mean it works.

Throughout the song, Joji shares his struggle in trying to move on from his past lover. He tries to convince himself that he's fine and that he's moved on, but in reality, he's still stuck in the past. He hopes to have a glimpse of what he once had with his past lover, even if it's just for a moment. He even muses about the possibility of his past lover leaving her current partner and returning to him.

The lyrics of "Glimpse of Us" highlight the complexity of human emotions and relationships. Sometimes, even when we have everything we need, we still long for something else. The song delves into the idea that just because something or someone is perfect on paper, it doesn't mean it's the right fit for us. People are multi-dimensional and sometimes the intangible qualities in a relationship hold greater weight than the tangible ones.

Line by Line Meaning

She'd take the world off my shoulders If it was ever hard to move
She used to help me navigate through difficult times with ease

She'd turn the rain to a rainbow When I was living in the blue
She could bring so much joy to my life even during tough times

Why then, if she is so perfect Do I still wish that it was you?
Even though she is great, I still miss you and what we had together

Perfect don't mean that it's working So what can I do? (Ooh)
Just because someone is perfect, doesn't mean the relationship will work out

When you're out of sight In my mind
Even though you're not here, I still think about you all the time

'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find a glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of the way it was Said I'm fine and said I moved on I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us
Even though I'm trying to move on with someone else, I still see you in her eyes and long for what we had. I may say I'm fine and moved on, but deep down I'm still holding onto hope that we can have that 'us' again.

Tell me he savors your glory Does he laugh the way I did? Is this a part of your story? One that I had never lived Maybe one day you'll feel lonely And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse Maybe you'll start slipping slowly And find me again
I wonder if he appreciates you the way I did, if he finds the same things funny, and if our story was something you cherished. Perhaps one day, you'll feel what I do now and see a piece of 'us' in his eyes, and we can find each other again

Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh

I think the protagonist in the video's story is the guy in yellow.

He misses his girl and in order to escape his feelings, he partakes in this horrible, vile, chaotic lifestyle as a way to move on, but he can't, he misses her and if you pay attention to the end of the video, you can see him not actively participating in a lot of the bullshit that's going on, he's just sitting back, on the ground, looking depressed, searching up online what women want in a man.

It's about wanting to escape from the past and ending up in a horrible, horrible place, trying to remember how it was back then (ie trying to get a glimpse of us).

And I mean... the whole video is haunting, it feels like being part of the most horrible and depraved gang that's ever existed. It feels like falling off the deep end after a traumatic event.

Resumen en el hermoso idioma español:

Es la historia de alguien que no puede superar a una persona que amó/ama y que ya no está con él.

Amó tanto a esta persona de su pasado que, aunque ahora encontró alguien nuevo que es aparentemente "perfecto", sólo desea que fuese su previo gran amor y cada vez que le mira a los ojos, sólo logra vislumbrar y recordar profundamente la ferviente llama de su devoción por la esencia de alguien que no volverá.

Intenta amar la persona de su presente pero sólo logra encontrar un reflejo de su insuperable pasión en esta nueva relación.

Con el tiempo, acepta que solo quedan ruinas de su ser y únicamente persiste en su relación actual con la esperanza de siempre poder volver a avivar aquellas cenizas que emanan la remembranza y el reflejo, de su gran amor perdido, en los brazos de alguien más.

My wife passed away 6 years ago after giving birth to our daughter. Every night, I read to her while she stares deeply into my eyes and listens intensely. I know that it probably isn't common to relate this song to a father-daughter relationship, but this song makes me miss my wife so much more. It also makes me love and cherish my daughter so, so much. I know that she won't be like this forever, and daddy won't always be her favorite person, and she will eventually get older -- but right now I'm happy, just spending time, passing it by in her arms.

One day, I became depressed and tried to drown out all my mental pain through alcohol, until my friends and parents realized what was wrong with me. They realized what was going on when I snapped and started screaming and crying without any reason. Therapy and medication didn't really help me, but then I met my girlfriend who I'd been dating for two years. She helped me through every attack of depression. I'm writing this because the footage in the video shows what I had to deal with for a long time. We try to numb our inner pain by going out, by having an antisocial lifestyle. But as soon as we get home and look at our room, it only makes things worse. And to all those people who are struggling with depression or other problems in their lives, we know how you feel. We understand you and we don't condemn you, we support you. Warm greetings from Russia.

This is by far the music video I respect the most. It is crazy how much work these people put into this piece of artwork, it makes you feel something and it tells a story. It feels very authentic. You can't really describe it with words. The lyrics in combination with the video is amazing, and it can make everyone think and feel something different while keeping some things in common. Thank you so much Joji

@anaximanderofapollonia9842

Bah.

When contrasted with this video, "A glimpse of us" stops to be a song about a man reminiscing of his past lover and starts to be a love song about a memory of a life worthy of living, now long gone. And to hold onto that memory results with the same as with letting it go = your insanity. Therefore, you are trying to do both while succeeding at neither and going more insane with every passing day.

Your current self is a pale shadow compared to what you once were, when that past was your present, before it became a glimpse. Still, this glimpse is all that you have, both as your burden and as your hope for salvation.

Glad to be sober, but this brought me back to some memories of being in a dark place. Staying in my friends backyard in a shed with beer cans and trash on the floor, doing stupid shit just to feel something, the arguments, fights, the chaos.

This video perfectly depicts my ex’s life. From someone who comes from a healthy and stable background watching him fall back into a self destructive life of drugs, crime and broken family was heartbreaking.

I also learned that an addict needs professional help especially when everyone around them keeps tempting them back into their demons.

This video reminds me of how despite the crime and drugs he was such a sweet soul who loved animals and Ghibli movies. I know he tried to hold on to that through me and I still feel guilty that I had to leave him. It’s not easy when you see someone sweet have such a dark side and feel like you are the only thing keeping them from breaking.

I hope he found a way to happiness now.

I can relate to your comment so much but I was on the other side. I am self destructive and was an addict to be able to deal with things. He left me to protect himself and because he could not watch me destroy myself any longer. It's been over a year and it still breaks my heart but I can understand why he did it. It was for the best just like how it was for you. Don't feel guilty, you need to look after yourself. For me him leaving me was a wake up call, I hope your ex can also see it the same way.

I feel the same. I've kind of been there, I guess. But there are so many people I've met that genuinely enjoy living chaotic lives, and I can see the appeal. We all live and then die regardless, so the difference isn't very much at all. Peace and calm, or loud and wild sound like two sides of the same coin anyone could live like. Either side is always bothered by the other, and I think that's just existing as a human.

Joji… you captured something many don’t get to see. The fall from a height, overwhelming despair, the need to burn everything in order to see something bright for a change. Masterfully done. A large chunk of my twenties looked like this and by whatever chance I had, I made it out. Thank you.

"I think this song is the most heartbreaking when u dont interpret it as someone who hasnt moved on from a past relationship, but instead as "the person im with isnt the person i love anymore cause they have changed, but when i look in their eyes sometimes i still remember the person they used to be, whom i fell in love with. And I hope that one day they can come back to me." " - ZangBang

when you interpret the song this way, when he sings about wondering what it's like from the other person's perspective with their partner (which would be the singer) that could be read as the singer wondering if he himself changed too and I like that.

I feel like This song represents something more than just going through heartbreak. It’s depression, loneliness, loss of self control, insecurities, anger, rage. It shows the pain and struggles of being a human in this world. The insanity that goes on. Especially during these dark times. In Joji’s voice I get this vibe that he’s telling us that no matter what happens. No matter how much pain we feel. Everything is going to be ok in the end. It may not seem that way now but it will.

После расставания я пытался поставить себя на правильный путь, и перестать привязываться к людям, быть независимым человеком. Что-ж.. я переборщил с чувством независимости и теперь, такие слова как «сочувствие», «понимание» для меня потеряли смысл. Я превратился в робота.

I can’t even say they’re thugs, sad trash maybe. they remind me of some of the wayward young dudes in my area that hang out together. They don’t have any prospects, seldom employed or in a relationship for long. Broke but somehow there is always an open bottle around. They also somehow have a set of wheels which they use to show up to whatever gathering that’s going on, probably where they stole the booze. Probably burned bridges with their families or are in bad terms so they just hang around with the crew. You can see they’re struggling with demons and they gravitate toward each other to commiserate in their shared shack. together is probably the only way they can survive but also they hold each other down. They can’t afford anything themselves but together can scrounge enough for what they want. They all have problems with the law and at least one is always in jail for something, nothing long term.

I find myself in situations where I just want to be loved and acknowledged, but my surroundings demand me to be strong, always maskuline and look tough. I feel I can't show a little softness in front of others, only when I'm by myself, because the world find ways to betray me.

why does this song feel so nostalgic but sad/happy at the same time. this entire song is full of just emotions i didnt think i'd feel just by listening to the lyrics and melody.

Not really a Joji fan, but I’m surprised almost no one is talking about this music video. It frames the music in this incredibly gritty but authentic feel of someone trying to fill a void that their past lover used to fill; a void that they try to fill by gangbanging and living in a trap house with their equally messed up buds that can’t open up to each other, slowly showing that it obviously isn’t working out by the end. It’s sad and disturbing to watch, but it’s incredibly real.

Ngl this used to be me but I wasn’t going through a break up or anything, I was just in an extremely abusive relationship where people told me they felt I had some form of Stockholm syndrome.
I was just a teen trying to fit in when he got me into drugs like acid, shrooms and shit that wasn’t right with my brain. When I left in February, I had OD’d on adderall and now I’m seemingly permanently fucked up from that shit. I don’t do drugs anymore. I drink occasionally but no where near as much as I used to.
I hate who I became.

It’s such a beautiful song. I recently learned the story of how it was written. The song writer was very close friends with Christina Grimme, and this song was originally meant as a song about her loss. They adapted the meaning slightly, but knowing what I know now, you can really feel that in the first verse. Make sure everyone you love knows you do, as no one knows when it’s their time. Treasure those dear to you.

You have to go back to the 90s to see music videos this good, now they're all just corporate and polished. This tells an actual story and is raw visceral and expressive. I wish more artists put in this kind of effort into videos.

A man trapped in his own mind, A man who doesn’t know how to receive love, A man who cares but doesn’t know how to do better, a man who lives off of the only thing he knows (chaos). This video makes this song 10x more deep. Imagine wanting to do better for a loved one but not having the power to do so. The feeling of uselessness. Not being capable of seeing your worth. Hiding behind chaos and temporary glimpses of “happiness”. This is how I take this video and song. It’s beautiful yet chaotic, sad and hopeless, it conveys a feeling of loneliness in such a different way than other songs I can’t quite put my finger on it but the feeling is just… different. The time and effort in this is so overwhelmingly amazing. Made me feel emotions I hadn’t felt in a long time.

That everlasting distraction of negativity due to other things in our life (could be using another girl, mental problems, reckless lifestyle etc) when you're only just trying to be loved.

When you first break up it reminds me of how self destructive we can become and how much we just stop caring what other people think of us.. at the same time it’s the free-est feeling of self awareness and personal growth we will ever experience.. so with the pain can come peace after we learn to love ourselves again.. I think this art is created during these times of great pain and happiness where the highs are high and lows are low and that’s what makes an artist great.

dont get me wrong, this is a beautifully written song. but if you relate to this whole song, please fully move on before you begin your next serious relationship. its not impossible i promise. in order to genuinely make room for new love in your heart you have to make space by getting rid of that person who currently sits there. otherwise you are wasting the others person time and energy:/ its unfair because the other person could be giving all their love yet they are underappreciated for something they cannot control
—
its normal to miss what you had. but different isnt bad, its just unfamiliar. to really appreciate that different is to accept what the past has gifted you with, and make genuine room to appreciate new happy experiences.
trust me, you guys will be okay. just keep pushing through and keep trying<3 please don’t hurt other people on the way:/

My ex broke my heart real bad, and she still keeps breaking it but I can't stop thinking about her. I don't know how to let go...

I think I prefer listening to the song with the background noise of the music video. I love the sound of chaos with his melancholic voice. Although it's a big contrast, it says a lot about these heightened emotions. In the midst of destruction and violence, whether that'd be internal or external, there's a quiet sadness in the centre of it. And all these sounds played together strengthens these two extremes. They are born from each other and die within each other. It's the highs of all this frustration and anger, and the lows of sadness and yearning. They blend together so well to the point where you can't really untangle them and pull them apart. They just learn to co-exist with one another somehow and that's how you get broken people who are hurting.
