Howl Belmont
Glass Face Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m deep in the dust, and I'll fall into you.
If you tell me your name I′ll show you why I'm blue.
I sleep into rust and I'll crawl into you.
If you open my frame, I′ll owe you mine too.

I′m happy alone.
I'm happy alone.
I′m happy alone.

Don't make me your home.

I′m deep in the dust, and I'll fall into you.
If you tell me your name I′ll show you why I'm blue.
I sleep into rust and I'll crawl into you.
If you open my frame, I′ll owe you mine too.
I′m happy alone.
I'm happy alone.
I′m happy alone
Don't make me your home.
Don′t make me your home.
Don't make me your home.
Don′t make me your home.

If you run through my veins,
You'll feel the chains.
If you run through my veins,
You'll feel the chains.
If you run through my veins,
You′ll feel the chains.
If you run through my veins,
Run through my veins.
If you run through my veins,
You′ll feel the chains.
If you run through my veins,
You'll feel the chains.
If you run through my veins,
You′ll feel the chains.

If you run through my veins,
Run through my veins.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Glass Face's song "Howl Belmont" are haunting and introspective, exploring themes of loneliness, struggle, and the challenge of opening up to others. The repeated refrain of "I'm happy alone" may seem contradictory to the overall melancholy tone of the song, but it speaks to the idea that the singer has become accustomed to being alone and is hesitant to invite anyone else into their world for fear of losing their independence or being hurt. The opening lines of the song, "I'm deep in the dust, and I'll fall into you," suggest that the singer is on the brink of falling apart, and they are reaching out for someone to help them through their pain. However, the subsequent lines, "If you tell me your name I'll show you why I'm blue" and "If you open my frame, I'll owe you mine too," convey a sense of hesitation and guardedness, as if the singer is simultaneously wanting and resisting the idea of opening up to someone else.
