Glass is Broken
Chicosci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me through what's missing
And I promise
I won't lose? Myself again
Knowing that soon you'll turn
Away
Bring me to the light
Bring me to the light
And maybe I'll
Keep you
Again
I feel like this won't count (I'd like to gain this for you)
This place and time wont forget
Cause I'm so unlike you
I won't lose? Myself again
Knowing that soon
You will turn
Away
The lyrics of Chicosci's song "Glass is Broken" express the longing of an individual who desires to connect with someone who seems to be beyond reach. The opening line "Climb down from your sky" is a metaphorical reference to the person's high status or unapproachability, and the singer's wish to be close to them. The following line "Take me through what's missing" conveys the idea of trying to fill a void, seeking something that is absent, and hoping that the person he longs for can provide it. The chorus "Bring me to the light, get me through the night" connects with the previous line to imply that the individual needs help to get through the darkness in his life and guide him towards a better future. The singer promises not to lose himself again, indicating a past of turbulent experiences that he has overcome.
However, the lyrics change in tone, as the singer doubts he will ever achieve his heart's desires, which is evident in the line, "I feel like this won't count." He is aware of the limitations of the present moment and hints that time is running out. This realization makes him distant from the person he desires, as he acknowledges that "I'm so unlike you." The singer doesn't want to lose himself again, and the melancholic tone of his voice, combined with the guitar riff, paints a picture of emotional turmoil.
"Glass is Broken" by Chicosci is a song that expresses a mix of anxiety, hope, and a longing, colored with uncertainty. The lead vocalist Mark Escueta's emotional voice, catchy guitar riffs, and lyrics that capture the universal longing for connection make it an all-time favorite for the band's fans.

Climb down from your sky
I want you to come closer to me
Take me through what's missing
Help me to understand what I am missing
And I promise
I give you my word
I won't lose? Myself again
I won't forget who I am
Knowing that soon you'll turn
I am aware that you will leave
Away
To a place I cannot reach
Bring me to the light
Lead me to a better place
Get me through the night
Help me to overcome my fears
And maybe I'll
Possibly I could
Keep you
Retain a hold on you
Again
Once more as in the past
I feel like this won't count
I am doubtful that this will matter
(I'd like to gain this for you)
(I want to achieve this for you)
This place and time wont forget
This moment in time will not be forgotten
Cause I'm so unlike you
As we are very different
You will turn
You will go away
Away
Far from here
