Oh Glory
Panic!; At The Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That every little thing I do for love
Redeems me from the moments I deem worthy
Of the worst things that I’ve done
And saves me from myself
The times of envy
When I’m missing everyone
I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised everyone I'd be
Well I just ain't (ain't, ain't, ain't)
Lately it seems like,
Everybody's sick, everybody's died (everybody's died)
Build myself a wall up on happy highs
Know in my heart that my head is lying, lying
Oh glory
I think I see you ‘round the bend
And I think I’d try any poison to get there in the end
Oh glory
When I’m looking past the silken sheets
Take a breath to notice I’m between
Every little piece of threaded memories
That constitute your dreams
If I wake in the morning
I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised everyone I'd be
Well I just ain't (ain't, ain't, ain't)
Lately it seems like,
Everybody's sick, everybody's died (everybody's died)
Build myself a wall up on happy highs
Know in my heart that my head is lying, lying
Oh glory
I think I see you ‘round the bend
And I think I’d try any poison to get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory
I think I see you ‘round the bend
And I think I’d try any poison to get there in the end
Oh glory
I think I see you ‘round the bend
And I think I’d try any poison to get there in the end
Lately it seems like,
Everybody's sick, everybody's died (everybody's died)
Build myself a wall up on happy highs
Know in my heart that my head is lying, lying
Oh glory
I think I see you ‘round the bend
And I think I’d try any poison to get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory
I think I see you ‘round the bend
And I think I’d try any poison to get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory
Oh glory
The lyrics of "Oh Glory" by Panic! At The Disco are reflective and introspective, with the artist contemplating his life's purpose and seeking redemption. The song starts with the hope that the little acts of love he has done will be enough to make up for his missteps, and he can be redeemed from the worst things he has done. He talks about envy and feeling isolated, mourning the loss of loved ones, and feeling a distance from life's joys. He acknowledges the gap between who he promised to be and who he is, but keeps trying, expressing faith that he can be redeemed.
The lyrics are evocative, talking about seeking a positive end and redemption, but with a penitent and somber undertone. The artist's search is not for happiness, but a deeper meaning and an end that is not easy to reach. The imagery of poison is used to indicate that he would do anything to obtain his goal, showing how much he wants to reach the end. Overall, the song is a search for meaning, with the artist looking inward for answers.
