Glass
Field Mouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
all that you've made up
I take them in my head
I make them up instead
Push smoke through the air
while you live out there
in the spaces i used to fill
I watched you
When you're out of love
When you're out of love
it would never be us
In a warm waking dream
I left it all at sea
away from me
Little highs between the lines
set the good times free
You got the part
so be happy
be happy
When you're out of love
When you're out of love
When you're out of love
it would never be us
Now it's all glass
How about that
If i shake it's all just gonna break
If i shake it's all just gonna break
If i shake it's all
just gonna break
The lyrics to Field Mouse's song "Glass" tell a story of lost love and trying to come to terms with that loss. The opening lines, "Little pieces of all that you've made up, I take them in my head, I make them up instead," suggest the singer is trying to reconstruct the memory of their love in their head, perhaps because the relationship is over and they want to hold onto those memories. The following lines, "Push smoke through the air while you live out there, in the spaces I used to fill, I watched you," reveal that the former lover is still living their life, while the singer watches from afar, a painful reminder of what they've lost.
The chorus repeats the phrase "when you're out of love" several times, suggesting that the singer is trying to accept that the relationship is over and that they'll never be together again. The final lines of the song, "Now it's all glass, how about that? / If I shake it's all just gonna break," use the metaphor of glass to represent the fragility of the singer's memories of their lost love. They realize that if they try to hold onto those memories too tightly, they'll shatter like glass.
Overall, "Glass" is a poignant reflection on the pain of lost love and the struggle to let go of memories. The use of metaphor and poetic language adds depth and emotion to the song, and the repetition of the chorus emphasizes the hopelessness of the situation.
Line by Line Meaning
Little pieces of
Fragments of your thoughts and ideas
all that you've made up
Things you imagined or fabricated
I take them in my head
I absorb them into my mind
I make them up instead
I create my own version of them
Push smoke through the air
Blow out smoke into the environment
while you live out there
As you exist in the outer world
in the spaces I used to fill
In the areas where I had a presence
I watched you
I observed you
When you're out of love
When you don't feel affection or passion
it would never be us
Our relationship wouldn't have worked out
In a warm waking dream
In a pleasant, vivid experience
I left it all at sea
I abandoned everything, leaving them behind
away from me
Far from my presence
Little highs between the lines
Small moments of happiness embedded within
set the good times free
Allow the enjoyable times to be unrestrained
You got the part
You obtained the desired role
so be happy
Therefore, be content
Now it's all glass
Now, everything is fragile and delicate
How about that
Isn't that interesting?
If I shake it's all just gonna break
Any disturbance will cause everything to shatter
