Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glory, glory, hallelujah.
Glory, glory, glory, hallelujah.
Since I laid my burdens down.
Since I laid my burdens down.
Friends don't treat me, like they used to.
Friends don't treat me, like they used to.
I feel better,
so much better.
The New Direction's song Glory Glory is a gospel-inspired track, bearing a message of joy and salvation. The repetitive choruses, filled with praises to God, invoke a feeling of exuberance and freedom. The "Glory, glory, hallelujah" lines are a direct reference to the biblical text and the tradition of elevating the Lord's name in chants or songs of worship. The repetitive patterns of the verses underscore the importance of the action that has taken place in the singer's life, the act of laying down one's burdens. The lyrics point out that since he/she has done this, the way people treat him/her has changed. No longer is the singer weighed down by problems or negativity, and thus is able to enjoy the company of friends worry-free. The feeling of wellness and bliss is conveyed in the final line, where "I feel better, so much better" seems to encapsulate the freedom that a spiritual awakening brings.
