Glass Kites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh
Oh
So I fell
to the earth
and I ran
from it all
to the earth
and I ran
from it all
so I fell
to the earth
and I ran
from it all
so I've been
to the earth
and I ran
from it all
So I'd fell
to the earth
and I ran from it all
So I'd fell
to the earth
oooh
noo
noo
ooh
The lyrics to Glass Kites's song Terra describe a person who has fallen to earth and is running away from everything. It could be interpreted in many different ways, but the overall themes seem to be escapism, fear, and disillusionment. The repetition of the lines "so I fell to the earth and I ran from it all" emphasizes the character's attempts to escape from something that they can't ignore anymore. The use of the word "terra", which means earth in Latin, adds to the feeling that the character is deep in thought and contemplating their existence on this planet.
The repetition of the word "no" at the beginning of the song emphasizes the character's feelings of denial or rejection. It could be interpreted as the character saying "no" to an aspect of their life that they can't deal with anymore. Overall, the song creates a powerful feeling of introspection and contemplation, with the character trying to run away but ultimately realizing that they can't escape from themselves.

Can't stop listening to this tune, guys... pure bliss, really! I'd love to do a cover of some sorts one day, but damn... it's pretty tricky to work out what you're doing there. ;) That's the beauty of it though... wonderful stuff, more of it, please!
