Heart of Glass
Chris Stein/Debbie Harry 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
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing 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
Mucho 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 coulda made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
"Heart of Glass" by Chris Stein/Debbie Harry is a song about love gone wrong. The lyrics speak about the singer's experience of falling in love and how it didn't turn out the way they expected. The opening lines "Once I had a love and it was a gas, Soon turned out had a heart of glass" convey the idea that the singer thought their love was strong and real, but it turned out to be fragile and easily broken. The next line "Seemed like the real thing, only to find Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind" reinforces the idea that what the singer thought was a real and lasting love was actually just an illusion.
The second verse continues with the same theme of disillusionment and heartbreak. The line "It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind" highlights the singer's naivete in believing in a love that wasn't really there. The chorus repeats the first verse, driving home the idea that the singer's heart was shattered by a love that was never meant to last.
The last verse is somewhat more melancholy, with the lines "Lost inside Adorable illusion and I cannot hide I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside" conveying the singer's sense of loss and despair. The final lines "Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass Seemed like the real thing only to find Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind" bring the song to a close with a sense of resignation and acceptance.

Deborah was in this times one of THE SEXIEST WOMEN ALIVE.
Man verglich sie manchmal mit Madonna.
Aber Verdammt = SIE war immer EINE GALAXIE über Madonna.
Sie war Soo COOOL und Untouchable wie keine Blondine im Biz !
Und Ihre Songs sind UNSTERBLICH. - Heute , 40 Jahre später = immer noch Zeitlos.
BLONDIE = Forever !

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he's using it over a theremin to produce that vibrate-y sound. I could be wrong though. :P
