Edison Glass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yea we feel it, first a draft and then a wind.
It will feel like a burn or a shiver.
Yea we feel it. It's a pull to the earth.
Like a hand on the top of your head
You feel safe here, you can dance here.
It's a quiet sound that's screaming out
And we fall under the weight of glory.
Can you hear it? A wave before it breaks?
Can you feel it? A calm before the storm?
Let's keep this passion flowing.
Like a child I wait for love.
The lyrics of Edison Glass's song A Burn Or A Shiver conveys a message about the intense feeling of surrendering oneself to a higher power or force. The song encourages the listener to pay attention and listen closely when they are experiencing a strong sensation. The feeling will initially start with a small draft and then culminate into a powerful wind, which will either feel like a burn or a shiver. The sensation is described as a pull towards the earth, something that cannot be resisted.
Later in the song, the lyrics compare the feeling to having a hand on the top of your head, creating a sense of safety, allowing you to dance freely. It speaks to the love that one feels surrounding that space, an unspoken sound that calls out, and as the song progresses, the intensity pushes you under the 'weight of glory.'
The lyrics encourage the listener to embrace that feeling of surrender, to not resist it, but instead to let it wash over them. There's a sense of urgency as if the song is telling people not to miss the opportunity to get caught up in the wave before it breaks, or to feel the calm before the storm. Ultimately, the song tells the listener to keep the passion flowing like a child who waits for love.
