Holiday
Glasseater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Glasseater's song "Holiday" appear to be about the desire to escape from the mundane aspects of life and embark on a journey to a far-off, exotic location. The first line, "let's go away for awhile you and I," sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, suggesting that the singer is looking for an adventure with a companion. The use of the word "strange" adds to the sense of mystery and otherworldliness, as does the absurdist image of a place "where they speak no word of truth."
The chorus, which repeats the phrase "holiday far away to stay on a holiday far away," suggests that the escape is not just a temporary break from reality but a desire to remain disconnected from the real world for an extended period of time. The repetition of the word "holiday" creates a sense of urgency and excitement, as if the singer is eager to leave their current situation behind and find somewhere new to explore.
The verse continues with the lines "don't bother to pack a bag or a map we won't need them where we're going/we're going to where the wind is blowing not knowing where we're gonna stay." This reinforces the idea that the journey is not about planning or control, but about surrendering to the unknown and allowing the adventure to unfold spontaneously. The final lines, "yeah lets go away for awhile you and I to a strange and distant land where they speak no word of truth but they don't understand anyway," suggest a willingness to embrace the unknown and the possibility of encountering other cultures or ways of life that are completely different from one's own.
