Heart of Glass
J.M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losin' my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feelin' fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losin' you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could-a made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, ridin' high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feelin' fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losin' you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
It's just no good
You teasing like you do
It's just no good
You teasing like you do
"Heart of Glass" is a song by Blondie, written by Deborah Harry and Chris Stein. The song starts off by expressing how the singer once had a love that was exhilarating and fantastic, but that it turned out to have a "heart of glass." They trusted it to be authentic, only to find later that there was a lot of mistrust and that love was a thing of the past. The second verse continues with a new love that seems divine and genuine but ends up causing the feeling of losing one's mind. The confusion of love is expressed in the chorus, where the lyrics state that love is perplexing and never brings peace of mind, particularly when the fear of losing that love is present. The last verse talks about being stuck in an illusion, feeling used by the person they love, and the desperation to hold on to it.
The lyrics of the song refer to the transience of love, that what may seem like a perfect love story can quickly turn into a relationship full of illusions and mistrust. It also captures the confusion that comes with the highs and lows of falling in love and how difficult it can be to hold onto a love you fear losing.

Once I had a love and it was a gas
I used to have a love that made me feel incredible
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
But it turned out that my partner was very fragile and could be easily broken
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
At first, it felt like we had something genuine and strong
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
But there was a lot of doubt and mistrust that ruined our relationship
In between
In the midst of everything
What I find is pleasing and I'm feelin' fine
Sometimes I do find happiness and contentment
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
But love can also be bewildering and leave me feeling very anxious
If I fear I'm losin' you it's just no good
If I ever fear that I'm losing you, it tears me apart
You teasing like you do
You playing games with me, teasing and tormenting me with your affection
Lost inside
Feeling trapped and confused
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
But I can't seem to give up hope that everything will magically be okay between us
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
I feel like you're using me for your own purposes and I don't want to be discarded
We could-a made it cruising, yeah
We could have had an easy, enjoyable relationship
Yeah, ridin' high on love's true bluish light
We could have been soaring high on the joy of a true and strong love
It's just no good
But it's just not going well
You teasing like you do
You continuing to play games with me, teasing and tormenting me with your affection
