Glory
Steven Fiore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dressed up in white ribbons
It's him against the world he's struggling to fight
He's not fine with what he's been given
Every single word is building up a lie

Well he don't have to answer anybody's questions
He's got all the right things now
He'd stand inside a fire before falling on his sword

Singing glory hallelujah, praise the lord

Sleep tight
You know you deserve it
Hold your head up high and disregard the shame
You've had a hard life
At least in your version
Everyone is wrong and the whole world is to blame

Well you don't have to answer anybody's questions
You got all the right things now
You'd stand inside a fire before falling on your sword
Singing glory hallelujah, praise the lord

Glory hallelujah, praise the lord

Glory hallelujah
Praise the lord

Overall Meaning

In Steven Fiore's song "Glory," he sings about a man who is struggling to fight against the world, dressed up in white ribbons. The man is not content with what he has been given, and every single word he utters is building up a lie. However, the man does not feel obligated to answer anybody's questions, as he finally has all the right things in his life. He would rather stand inside a fire before falling on his sword, singing, "glory hallelujah, praise the Lord."

The chorus of the song speaks to the man's resilience and closure, as he can now sleep tight, knowing that he deserves it. He should hold his head up high and disregard the shame that comes with his struggles. In the man's version of events, he has had a hard life and everyone is wrong, and the whole world is to blame. Despite this, he still finds solace in singing, "glory hallelujah, praise the Lord."

The song's lyrics seem to follow the journey of a man who has been through a lot in life and is finally finding victory. He may have been enduring hardships all his life, but he is now content with what he has and will protect it fiercely. He finds solace in the fact that he does not have to answer anyone's questions anymore and can finally stand up for himself.

Line by Line Meaning

Dressed up in white ribbons
Presenting a falsely pure and innocent image

It's him against the world he's struggling to fight
Feeling alone in a difficult situation

He's not fine with what he's been given
Unhappy with the circumstances of his life

Every single word is building up a lie
Being dishonest in every statement made

Well he don't have to answer anybody's questions
Not obligated to respond to anyone's inquiries

He's got all the right things now
Achieving everything he wants

He'd stand inside a fire before falling on his sword
Willing to suffer any consequences for his actions

Singing glory hallelujah, praise the lord
Expressing triumphant happiness and gratitude

Sleep tight
Rest well

You know you deserve it
Believing one has earned the rest

Hold your head up high and disregard the shame
Maintain self-respect and ignore guilt or embarrassment
