The Glass Parade
Cary Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whispering all the hope is dead
All the times you had to prove
That no one really loves you
I found you in a reflection
You didn't want me to see
I will give you all I have
This is a glass parade
A fragile state
And I am trying not to break
And the stars are shining
The moon is right
And I would kill to be with you tonight
Wish you told me all the truth
So afraid to face an absolute
All the fights you had to lose
All the fear was put upon you
I found you when you were broken
Too many cracks of deceit
I will give you all I have
Just look up, break down and believe
This is a glass parade
A fragile state
And I am trying not to break
And the stars are shining
The moon is right
And I would kill to be with you tonight
This is the feeling, falling
So much I want to say
Show me the same emotion
Show me what's at stake
And how much can you take
When you realize your fate?
Hold me now as the car lights fade
And we are dancing in the glass parade
Dancing in the glass parade
We are dancing in the glass parade
It's just a voice inside your head
The lyrics of the song convey a message of hope and encouragement to someone who is feeling lost and broken. The song's protagonist is speaking to someone who is hearing a voice inside their head that is telling them that all hope is lost, no one truly loves them and they don't believe in themselves. The singer is telling them that they see them and believes in them. They want to help them believe in themselves again by showing them love and giving them everything they have. They are reminding them that they are not alone and that together they can overcome whatever challenges they are facing. Although the singer acknowledges that this is a fragile state, they are trying not to break and instead look to the stars and the moon for strength.
