Glitter
No Age Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thoughts surround me
Everywhere I go
I don't fear nothing
Unless it's broke
I got it over
None till you're ahead
'Cause I know
That's where you've been

Take it all now
Don't miss a thing
Your human country
Has been conquering
I don't fear god
I don't fear anything at all
'Cause I know
That's where I've been

Thoughts are moving
I've been wondering
When they take my turn to get a win
Everyone is out to get you again
But I want you back
Underneath my skin

Thoughts surround me
Everywhere I go
I don't fear nothing
Unless it's broke
I got it over
Not till you're ahead
'Cause I know
That's where we've been

Thoughts will move me
I've been wondering
When they take my turn to get a win
Everyone is out to get you again
But I want you back
Underneath my skin

Thoughts will move me
I've been wondering
When they take my turn to get a win
Everyone is out to get you again
And I want you back
Underneath my skin

Thoughts will move me
I've been wondering
When they take my turn to get a win
And you feel like
Everyone is out to get you again




I want you back
Underneath my skin

Overall Meaning

In "Glitter," No Age explores themes of uncertainty, anxiety, and resilience. The song opens with the lyrics "Thoughts surround me, Everywhere I go," highlighting the constant barrage of thoughts that can weigh one down. However, the singer asserts that they don't fear anything as long as it's not broken. This can be interpreted as not fearing external factors that are beyond one's control, but rather fearing what can be influenced and changed.


The second verse delves into the idea of conquering and power dynamics. The line "Your human country has been conquering" suggests that humans have been taking over and uprooting the natural world. The singer declares that they don't fear God or anything at all, signifying a refusal to be intimidated by those in power. The chorus repeats the theme of not fearing unless something is broken, and emphasizes the importance of being ahead to avoid falling behind.


The final verse shifts to a more personal perspective as the singer grapples with feelings of vulnerability and the fear of being attacked by others. The line "Everyone is out to get you again" shows that the singer may have experienced this before and is concerned about it happening again. However, despite this fear, the singer desires to have this person back "underneath my skin," perhaps suggesting a desire for closeness and comfort.


Overall, "Glitter" can be seen as a commentary on the struggles of navigating our complex world, but with an underlying message of perseverance and resilience in the face of uncertainty and anxiety.
