No Glory
Fuseboxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With streaks of golden sun we hope.
Blinded w/ disgust, aimlessly will try.
Fighting for a change in life!
*There is no glory 3x
In a nation covered up w/ lies.
There is no glory! 3x
Hear us when we speak,
w/ frozen words we'll shout
W/ trembling hands we'll draw a line.
Truth is all we need,
the key to what we seek
Break this rippled chain of lies!
*There is no glory(in your words)
There is no glory(in your voice)
There is no glory in a nation's covered up w/ lies.
There is no glory(when u speak)
There is no glory(when u smile)
There is no glory when your nation's covered up w/ lies.
The lyrics of Fuseboxx's song "No Glory" speaks about a nation covered up with lies and how the people are fighting for a change in life. The opening line describes the sky as having shaded clouds with streaks of golden sun; metaphorically, this could represent the difficult times the nation is going through, but there is still hope for better things to come. The lyrics continue with the people feeling blinded by disgust and trying aimlessly to make a change. The repetition of "there is no glory" emphasizes the lack of honor, praise, or pride in a nation built upon lies.
The second verse expresses the need for the people's voices to be heard, even if it's with "frozen words." They will shout their message with trembled hands and draw a line, defining what is right or wrong. The key to what they seek is the truth, which will break the "rippled chain of lies." The final chorus reinforces the earlier lyrics, stating that there is no glory in words or a smile when the nation is covered up with lies.
Ultimately, Fuseboxx's song "No Glory" speaks to the need for truth in society. The lyrics emphasize that without truth, there can be no glory, pride, or praise. The song is a call to action, asking people to stand up against lies and fight for what is right.
