Glory
Essie Jain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How I will rise up from the waters where I've drowned
You will know me
You will see
Your face will light up from the glory that it's found
I am listening
You are hearing me
Don't go
Make your mind up
I've been down far as can be
Up until then my voice, it was caught up
Up until then, I never could see
You'll find out I am nothing I might seem
It's not opened so easily
Don't go
Make your mind up
I've been down far as can be
Up until then my voice, it was caught up
Up until then, I never could see
Don't go
Make your mind up
I've been down far as can be




Up until then my voice, it was caught up
Up until then, I never could see

Overall Meaning

The song "Glory" by Essie Jain talks about hope, perseverance and the ability to rise above one's circumstances. The opening lines, "How I will rise up from the waters where I've drowned, You will know me, You will see," suggest that the singer has undergone some sort of struggle, perhaps an emotional one, but has managed to triumph over it. The phrase "You will see" indicates that this victory will not go unnoticed, while "Your face will light up from the glory that it's found" implies that the singer's success will bring joy to someone they care about.


As the song progresses, the singer reassures someone that they are listening and being heard. The repeated phrase "Don't go, make your mind up" could be interpreted as an appeal to this person not to give up on them just yet, to stay and see what they have become. The lines "I am nothing I might seem, It's not opened so easily" suggest that the singer may have been misjudged or underestimated by this person, but that there is more to them than meets the eye. The repeated refrain "Up until then my voice, it was caught up, Up until then, I never could see" could be seen as a reference to a time before the singer was able to express themselves freely or see the full potential of their abilities.


Overall, the song "Glory" is an uplifting message about the power of perseverance and determination even during trying times. The sense of hope conveyed by the lyrics is further amplified by the soothing melody and Essie Jain's soulful voice.
