Heart of Glass
Storm Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
uh uh oh oh
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
uh uh oh oh




uh uh oh oh
uh uh oh oh

Overall Meaning

Storm Lee's rendition of the iconic song "Heart of Glass" by Blondie features a powerful and introspective take on love and relationships. The opening lines introduce the listener to a love that was once exhilarating, described as "a gas," but soon revealed itself to have a "heart of glass," fragile and easily shattered. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the disappointment and mistrust that followed what once seemed like a promising love affair.


The second verse takes a more reflective tone, acknowledging the complexity of love and the confusion it can bring. The singer admits to finding moments of pleasure and contentment in between the heartbreak, but overall recognizes the lack of peace of mind that comes with such an uncertain emotion. The final lines of the verse express the fear of losing the loved one, recognizing that the teasing and games they play only exacerbate the instability of the relationship.


Overall, Storm Lee's interpretation of "Heart of Glass" captures the raw emotions of love, with all its highs and lows, and the inevitable disappointment that often comes with it. The lyrics remind us of the fragility of our hearts and the importance of trust and honesty in any relationship.

It was about physical stamina and strength. One needed to lift, the other two needed to pull him up. The old man wasn't able to lift, or pull up. And his body exhausted. He could not keep his wife safe, and have her survive if he was on top. He collapsed, so he could do nothing.

The two men had duties. One was to keep the old woman safe. They could not do that with her exposed to the elements alone, with her husband, it may be harsh to say this, who was not strong enough to ensure her safety. She could not lift herself up properly and required the assistance to lift her up.

They couldn't do anything. They didn't have the time or capable strength to administer first aid to him, after he collapsed, keep him safe, and ensure his wife, and the three others' safety.

Can you honestly say that he would have had the strength to pull the others up? His wife's life was prioritized. The young men could protect her, and they tried their best.

Unfortunately, if the old man went first, then they would have all died, because of his lack of physical strength and stamina. It seems like he was glad his wife was safe, and he preferred that the young survive.

He wouldn't have survived through the night. He was a hero, and I don't blame the two men. They were exposed first, so they showed it could be safe, to pull up the woman, who was, politically incorrect to say, dead weight. She could not pull herself up. So she needed assistance. The one man tried to set up the old man to be pulled up, then he insisted the young man go up, before passing out.

It would have been impossible to take care of him or her if he was to go first.

One of the sub plots I noticed, that I found pleasing, it the principal of the school.
A black man in the ‘60s, in the south was leading and saving a group of people.
The fact that he was able to command that respect says volumes about who he is as a person. More than that, the two that disagreed with his plan found out how right he was after their building collapsed.
Well done, Sir!

First I didn't realize this took place in the 60's I guess I wasn't paying close attention to that fact. However, I totally agree with you! The whole time I was watching this video I was impressed with this man and I was going to post a message that I hoped it he had received an award.

Joseph Izzo

And as a note of clarification ~ I’m NOT saying that because he was black he was incapable, but rather that he had the ability to persuade through his leadership at a time of being ‘socially restricted’.

Bridget Hamilton

@Joseph Izzo I knew you referring to the racism of the time. I too really enjoyed the sub plot in this video and appreciated this man's leadership etc from a human perspective not a race issue.
