Stained Glass
Madison Beer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I'm counting the minutes that I've got left
And lately I'm counting the words that I haven't said
'Cause you will never know what I been through
And you should be a little more gentle
But maybe I need to start takin' my own advice
'Cause my heart's so heavy it's ready to fall out twice
'Cause you will never know what I been through
So you should be a little more gentle with me

My skin is made of glass
But apparently it's stained
'Cause you notice all the cracks
But can't look inside my pain
And if you throw another stone
Then I'd stay far away
Far away
I just might break

My life's just a faded memory of one I can't have
And everything 'round me is starting to fade into black, mm
But black and white is so much better
I'm learning how to hide my colors
You should've been a little more gentle with me

My skin is made of glass
But apparently it's stained
'Cause you notice all the cracks
But can't look inside my pain
And if you throw another stone
Then I'd stay far away
Far away
I just might break
Break
Break
I
I might break
Might break, I

My skin is made of glass
But apparently it's stained
'Cause you notice all the cracks
But can't look inside my pain
And if you throw another stone
Then I'd stay far away




Far away
I just might break

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Madison Beer's song "Stained Glass" questions the treatment she has received from the person she loves. The song implies that the person she loves does not understand her pain, despite being aware of the flaws in her personality. The repetition of the line "My skin is made of glass but apparently it's stained" serves as a metaphor for the fragility of her emotions and how she is treated. She feels like she is emotionally transparent, but those around her can only see the surface of her pain. Madison beer sings with raw emotion and power, so we can feel the pain that she is singing about and understand her struggle.


The lyrics also focus on her internal struggles, her inability to confront her problems head-on, as she acknowledges starting to fade away. She notes that her life is just faded memories of the one she used to have, and everything around her started to fade into black. However, she states that black and white are so much better, indicating that hiding her colors (personality) is better than showing them to those who cannot handle them.


In summary, the lyrics of "Stained Glass" speak to the vulnerability and fragility of human emotions, the struggles that come with transparent relationships, and how people should be treated with gentleness and understanding.


Line by Line Meaning

Lately I'm counting the minutes that I've got left
I'm feeling like my time is running out and I'm constantly aware of it


And lately I'm counting the words that I haven't said
I'm regretting the times I didn't express myself fully


'Cause you will never know what I been through
You're not able to understand my struggles


And you should be a little more gentle
I need compassion and tenderness from you


But maybe I need to start takin' my own advice
I realize that I need to practice what I preach


'Cause my heart's so heavy it's ready to fall out twice
I'm carrying a heavy burden that's taking a toll on my emotional well-being


My skin is made of glass
I'm feeling especially vulnerable and fragile


But apparently it's stained
My past experiences have left a permanent mark on me


'Cause you notice all the cracks
You're aware of my flaws and vulnerabilities


But can't look inside my pain
You're unable to fully comprehend the extent of my suffering


And if you throw another stone
If you continue to be cruel or insensitive


Then I'd stay far away
I would distance myself from you


I just might break
I'm at my breaking point and can't handle any more pain

Lately, I'm countin' the minutes that I've got left
And lately, I'm countin' the words that I haven't said
'Cause you will never know what I been through
And you should be a little more gentle
But maybe I need to start taking my own advice
'Cause my heart's so heavy, it’s ready to fall out twice
'Cause you will never know what I been through
So you should be a little more gentle with me

[Chorus]
My skin is made of glass, but apparently it’s stained
'Cause you notice all the cracks, but can’t look inside my pain
And if you throw another stone

My life is just a fadin' memory of one I can't have
And everythin' 'round me is starting to fade into black, mmm
But black and white is so much better
I'm learning how to hide my colors
You should've been a little more gentle with me

[Chorus]
My skin is made of glass, but apparently it’s stained
'Cause you notice all the cracks, but can’t look inside my pain
And if you throw another stone
