Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need another friend
Bitter sweet touch
You don't see me holding in
Oh, come and raise my love in
Come on take me all in all
All in all
Your fortune's fading love
Fortune only favors me
I'm sick of waiting
For you to come and fill my needs
Oh now
Ba ba, da da da da
Ba ba, da da da da
Oh yeah
Saying
Ba ba, da da da da
Ba ba, da da da da, woo hoo
(Woo)
Just keep on walking
You know I do the best I can
Oh yeah
But look who's talking
You know, I'm your man, I'm your man
Oh, come and raise my love in
Come on take me all in all
Yeah, all in all in all
Ba ba, da da da da
Ba ba, da da da da, oh yeah
Oh now
Ba ba, da da da da
Ba ba, da da da da, woo hoo

Throwing rocks at the glass house
Throwing rocks at the glass house all night long
Throwing rocks at the glass house
Throwing rocks at the glass house all night long
Oh yeah baby
All night long

In "Glass House," Kaleo sings about a relationship that is falling apart. He doesn't need much to make the relationship work, but his partner seems to be giving up on them. The bitter sweet touch of her love isn't enough to keep him holding on, and he wants her to raise his love and take him in all in all. He is tired of waiting for her to fill his needs and wants her to take action. Despite this, he still wants to make things work with her and considers himself her man. As they throw rocks at the glass house they've built around themselves, he asks her to come to him and take a chance on their love, urging her not to say maybe.
The lyrics of "Glass House" explore themes of love, loss, and the desire to make a relationship work despite the difficulties. The song is powerful and emotional, showcasing Kaleo's unique vocal style and musical talent. The metaphor of throwing rocks at the glass house is effective in portraying the fragility of the relationship, and the sense that a wrong move could make everything fall apart.

Well I don't need much
I am content with what I have
I don't need another friend
I do not need more company
Bitter sweet touch
The feeling is both good and bad
You don't see me holding in
You do not understand that I am trying to conceal my emotions
Your fortune's fading love
Your luck in love is diminishing
Fortune only favors me
I am more fortunate in love than you are
I'm sick of waiting
I am tired of waiting for you to fulfill my needs
For you to come and fill my needs
I am expecting you to satisfy my needs
Just keep on walking
You should continue moving along
You know I do the best I can
I am doing my best
But look who's talking
You are not one to speak
You know, I'm your man, I'm your man
I am always there for you
Throwing rocks at the glass house
Causing damage to something already fragile
Throwing rocks at the glass house all night long
Continuously causing destruction to vulnerability
Come on baby
Encouragement to take action
Don't say maybe
Do not hesitate or be indecisive

Pretty amazing how he can sing like that, without any hints of a Nordic accent pushing through.
@salvulcano802
im so glad i found these guys accidentally !
@R4Y2k
So am I, I was clicking through a few vids on yt when I suddenly stumbled upon "Way down we go". Now I'm running around telling everybody "go look them up, go buy the album, go like them on facebook" :D When I first heared them I was like "clearly southern usa, blues influenced rock? No way it's not from the US" and then I found out they are actually from iceland.
I gotta do the famous "viking clap" (if you don't know what that is your apparently not a football fan :D)for such great great music^^
@144filip
me too!
