Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought you almost died
Remember when we were listening
You barely had to try
Giant falling from the sky
Please tell me lie after lie
Now I know they're gonna take my glory
>From the ones I left behind
But I'll never change my mind
Everybody's gonna find me out
I'm going down this time
Everybody's gonna know about
The mess you left behind
Giant falling from the sky
Please tell me lie after lie
Now I know they're gonna take my glory
>From the ones I left behind
And I know their gonna say their sorry
But I'll never change my mind
Hey hey hey heyahhhhhh x2
You say I'm lazy than you lie around
You tried to put me down
I know you're crazy when I see
You spin your head around
Giant falling from the sky
Please tell me lie after lie
Now I know they're gonna take my glory
>From the ones I left behind
And I know their going say their sorry
But I'll never change my mind
Hey hey hey heyahhhhhh x2
Now I know they're going to take my glory
And I know their going to say their sorry
And I know their going to say their sorry
No I'm never going to tell my story
The song "Glory" by Sugar Ray discusses the frustration of someone who feels like they are constantly being held back by others, despite their hard work and talent. The opening line "It's good to see you here again, I thought you almost died" sets the tone for the rest of the song, which appears to be directed towards a former band member or collaborator who tried to sabotage the singer's success in the past. The lyrics "Remember when we were listening, you barely had to try" suggest that the singer put in more effort than their co-worker, yet they still found themselves struggling to get ahead due to this person's negative influence.
The repeated line "Giant falling from the sky, please tell me lie after lie" paints a vivid picture of someone who has a lot of influence but lacks honesty. The singer seems to be resentful of this person's power and worried that they will be denied recognition for their hard work. The lines "Now I know they're gonna take my glory from the ones I left behind, and I know they're gonna say they're sorry, but I'll never change my mind" suggest that the singer is aware of this person's potential to undermine them, but they are determined to keep pushing forward and achieving success on their own terms.
Overall, "Glory" is a song about the struggle to succeed in an industry where it can be difficult to get ahead, and the frustration of dealing with people who are willing to hold others back in order to boost their own careers.
