Stained Glass
Blood and Black Lace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've always been part of the problem,
instead of the solution
Keep your fire burnin', burnin' out of control
Your life keeps changing, surely getting old
(Bridge)
You never see inside
Always wanting so much, you're never satisfied
I got your number now, gonna let it ride
You think you're fooling' someone, you only fool yourself
Your evil ways will come back to haunt you
Why ya coming' at me, like ya did before?
Only think that you needed, to hear the slammin' door
Keep the fire burnin', burnin' out of control
You think you got it made and now you sold a soul
The lyrics to "Stained Glass" by Blood and Black Lace tell a story of a person who is causing confusion and problems in their relationships and life. The song addresses this individual, questioning their motives and pointing out that they have always been a part of the problem instead of the solution. The lyrics suggest that this person's life is changing but not necessarily for the better, as they seem to be growing old and stuck in their harmful patterns.
In the chorus, the song talks about looking through a stained glass window, which symbolizes a distorted and limited perspective. The person in question is always wanting more, never satisfied, and their actions are self-serving. The singer claims to have their number, meaning they understand their true nature, and they won't be fooled by their actions. The lyrics also imply that karma will catch up to this person's evil ways.
The song goes on to question why this individual is coming at the singer again, as they did in the past. The slamming door represents a previous departure from their toxic presence. However, the singer acknowledges that the fire of their actions is still burning out of control, indicating that this person is still causing harm and turmoil. The final line suggests that this person may have compromised their values or principles, having "sold a soul" in the pursuit of their own desires.
Overall, "Stained Glass" is a song that reflects on the destructive behavior of an individual and warns them that their actions will eventually catch up to them.
