Glue
Ephemera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's very hard to believe
That you're doing this all by yourself
Very hard to believe
That you're doing this
Without no help
Just glue, glue

She needs you
And in her piercing voice
She easily persuades
You have no choice
Even if you guess
It's not the right thing to do
Even if you don't fit
In her shoe
She's like glue to you
You're an animal in her zoo

Obviously there's something strong
Between you and her
Beneath and above and between
You and her

I wish you good luck
For the rest of your life
With you as her husband
And with her as your wife

Even if I wish
You were safe and sound
Even if I wish
You were all alone
Good luck




She's like glue to you
You're an animal in her zoo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ephemera's song 'Glue' delve into the idea that a person can become attached to another individual in such a way that it is almost impossible to shake them off. From the first verse, we are made aware that the subject of the song is doing something on their own but it is hard to believe that they accomplished it without anyone's help. The repetition of the word 'glue' emphasizes the idea that this individual is stuck or held to someone or something.


The second verse paints a picture of a woman who has a strong hold over the subject. She's like glue and he's an animal in her zoo. This sets an image in our heads that the subject has been trapped by this woman, who convinces him to do things he may not want to do, or things that may be harmful to him. Despite the fact that he may not fit into her world, or that he may have reservations about her demands, he is glued or bound to her, unable to break free. The line "Even if you don't fit in her shoe" suggests that no matter how hard the subject tries, he is not able to fit into her world and it is causing him discomfort.


The third verse seems to be a farewell message, wishing the subject good luck in his future with this woman, even if the singer wishes he was safe and sound away from her grasp. The lines "Beneath and above and between you and her" suggest that the glue tying these two individuals together is powerful and multifaceted. The repetition of the line "She's like glue to you" in the chorus serves as a powerful reminder that even wishes of good luck may be insufficient to break the bond.
