Glass Half Empty
NOI!SE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With past regret now at the forefront of your mind
Why'd you never make it, how'd you turn this way
Can't take it anymore, not one more day!
You always forfeit what was right for the easy way
One, two, three, four!
Feelin'...
No hope, you're so frustrated!
Ever searching out what you can't find
You see your life was a game that you just can't win
Nobody knows all you've ever seen
You ever sit on the sidelines while the world passes you by
Still, you wonder why
(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Your life's a glass half empty
(Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!)
Know what it is, what it could be
(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Always "The world's out to get me
What you've earned and want just ain't the same
Men on knees, all down in paradise
Still want to see you through the sands of time
We will be martyring the men on the breeze
So sad that life had passed them by
(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Your life's a glass half empty
(Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!)
Know what it is, what it could be
(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Always "The world's out to get me."
What you've earned and want just ain't the same
That's where your problems start
For the hole that's in your heart
Filled up with all the things you've never had
Keep screaming
"Is it justice that made me?"
"Can all the lies betray me?"
A victim and a martyr howl these yore
But it's just half true
(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Your life's a glass half empty
(Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!)
Know what it is, what it could be
(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Always "The world's out to get me."
What you've earned and want just ain't the same
You're the light that shines for the ones who were left behind!
(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Your life's a glass half empty.
(Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!)
Know what it is, what it could be
(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Always "The world's out to get me."
What you've earned and want...
The song "Glass Half Empty" by Noi!se seems to be about a person who feels like they've been left behind and is facing the consequences of their past regrets. The first stanza talks about the person feeling frustrated with their life and wondering why they didn't make it, and now they can't take it anymore. They always seem to have taken the easy way out and regretted it later.
The chorus talks about how the person's life is like a glass half empty. They know what they have and what it could be, but they feel like the world is always out to get them. They feel cheated and frustrated, always searching for something they can't find.
In the second stanza, there's a mention of "men on knees, all down in paradise", which could be referring to people who had everything but still lost it all. The song ends with the idea that the person might be a victim and a martyr, but it's only half true. The person is also a light that can shine for the ones who were left behind, showing that they still have potential to make something of their lives.
Overall, the song seems to be about the frustration of not achieving what you wanted in life and always wondering what could have been. The lyrics suggest that the person acknowledges their mistakes and regrets, but also feels like they are still capable of making something of themselves.
