Members Benjamin Hannam (guitar, vocals), Cameron Holdstock (bass), Sam Speck (guitar) and Daniel Muszynski (drums) formed the group around Hannams solo bedroom recording project in early 2008 during a music class at school. The band opened the mainstage at Splendour In The Grass 2009 at the age of 17 and were finalists in Triple J's Unearthed High Competition for 2010.

We Will Miss It All
Glass Towers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im so red and i dont know what to do
She stole my heart
Yeah she took it again
Like every time I do this over and over again
But we can keep running, we can keep running
We dont have to go anywhere, anywhere
But we can keep running, we can keep running
But I miss it all
I want to be like those guys
And she comes, and she goes, and shes gone
I want to find out
I want to be like those guys
And she comes, and she goes, and shes gone
I want to find out (I want to know, I want to know)
I want to find out (I want to know, I want to know)
'Cause we will miss it all
The lyrics to Glass Towers' song "We Will Miss It All" seem to express a sense of nostalgia and frustration from the perspective of a young man in love. The first line, "16 years and love is new," suggests that both the singer and his love interest are in their teenage years, and that they are experiencing the rush of new emotions and experiences that come with young love. However, the next line, "I'm so red and I don't know what to do," reveals that the singer is not entirely comfortable with this new experience, perhaps feeling overwhelmed or embarrassed by his own feelings.
The next few lines describe the singer's relationship with his love interest as a series of cycles: "She stole my heart/Yeah she took it again/Like every time I do this over and over again." This repetition might suggest that the singer is caught in a pattern of falling for someone who is not fully committed to him or is emotionally unavailable. However, he also seems to accept this cycle, as he repeats the phrase "we can keep running" several times throughout the song. This might suggest a desire to avoid confronting the real issues in his relationship, or a reluctance to acknowledge that the relationship might not be sustainable in the long term.
The final lines of the song, "I want to be like those guys/And she comes, and she goes, and she's gone/I want to find out," express a sense of longing and confusion on the singer's part. He seems to envy the "guys" who are able to have casual relationships without getting too attached, but at the same time he is still deeply invested in his love interest and wants to understand her better. The repetition of the phrase "I want to know" suggests a need for clarity and closure that the singer is not currently getting from his relationship.
