Heart of Glass
The Puppini Sisters 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
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losin' my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feelin' fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losin' 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
Much of 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 could-a made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, ridin' high on love's true bluish light
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
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feelin' fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losin' you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
It's just no good
You teasing like you do
It's just no good
You teasing like you do
The Puppini Sisters' song "Heart of Glass" is a cover of the hit song by Blondie. The melody is reminiscent of the disco era, and the lyrics describe how love can be deceiving, confusing, and even lead to heartbreak. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about a past love, which started out great but turned out to be a disappointment. The love she had was like "a gas," which implies that it was exciting, but also fleeting and temporary. She soon realized that the person she fell in love with had a "heart of glass" which indicates that they were fragile, and easily broken.
The second verse describes how love can be blinding and that sometimes, even when it seems like the "real thing," it can lead to mistrust and heartbreak. The chorus repeats the same sentiment that love can be confusing and that there's no peace of mind. The line, "If I fear I'm losin' you, it's just no good," expresses the feeling of desperation that comes when one partner starts to pull away.
The last verse describes how the singer feels used by the person she's in love with and how she's stuck in an "adorable illusion" that she cannot escape. The line, "We could-a made it cruising, yeah," suggests that the relationship could have been great, but it isn't because of the partner's teasing behavior. The final chorus repeats the same sentiments as the previous ones, emphasizing the complexities and challenges of love.
