Glass House
Picturesque Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know your type
You wanna put me through hell
So you can save my life
You wanna cure me, well

What could you do to me that
I haven't already done before
I let you in again
Begin again

But right now
I am a danger to myself

But right now
I am a danger to myself
These are the stones to my glass house
They tear my skin to shreds
This poison fills my head
My body's slipping off the edge

I know their type
They wanna drag me through hell
So they can take my life
They wanna hurt me, well

What could they do to me
That I haven't already done before
I'll let them in again
We'll sin again

But right now
I am a danger to myself
These are the stones to my glass house
They tear my skin to shreds
This poison fills my head
My body's slipping off the edge

Please help
I am a danger to myself
These are the stones to my glass house
They tear my skin to shreds
This poison fills my head
My body's slipping off the edge

So Let's find out
How far we can go
Before we wind up
On the floor in a pile of bones

So let's find out
How low we can drop
Before we bottom out
And we just can't stop

But right now
I am a danger to myself
These are the stones to my glass house
They tear my skin to shreds
This poison fills my head
My body's slipping off the edge

But right now
I am a danger to myself
These are the stones to my glass house
They tear my skin to shreds
This poison fills my head
My body's slipping off the edge

Please help
I am a danger to myself
These are the stones to my glass house
They tear my skin to shreds




This poison fills my head
My body's slipping off the edge.

The line "you wanna put me through hell so you can save my life" implies that the singer recognizes the common pattern of people trying to "fix" others without considering the consequences or asking for consent. Despite this knowledge, the singer admits to letting others back into their life and indulging in unhealthy behavior with them.


The repeated reference to "the stones to my glass house" suggests that the singer's vulnerability is being used against them, and the "poison" in their head is causing them to spiral out of control. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is willing to push themselves to the brink to see how far they can go before they reach a breaking point.
