Heart of Glass
Mini Mansions 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
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing 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
Mucho 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 coulda made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding 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
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
"Heart of Glass" by Mini Mansions is a cover of the iconic Blondie song. The song is about the difficulties and pain of a failed romantic relationship. The opening lines, "Once I had a love and it was a gas / Soon turned out had a heart of glass," describe how the relationship was initially exciting and full of passion, but eventually proved to be fragile and easily broken.
The singer then reflects on how they were blinded by what seemed to be a perfect relationship, only to find "Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind." The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing how the pain of the breakup has left them feeling lost and confused. The bridge touches on the desperation of trying to hold onto a dying relationship, even though the singer knows it's no good.
The final lines of the song, "If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good / You teasing like you do," show that even though the singer is aware of the problems in the relationship, they still can't resist the pull of their partner. Ultimately, the song conveys the heartache and complexity of a relationship on the brink of collapse.

@Masshurumu
This song isn't long enough. Life's not fair. For the repeat button mostly, but damn, this song/video is perfect.
@audreyazwell
neat cover, always say a cover needs to justify it's own existence by being different and good enough, this totally fits the bill, great band
