Lyrics to Broken Glass:
Why do we waste our precious time
on materialistic things that don't benefit our mind?
why do we live in denial?
run through our days as sleep through the fire

i feel rain when the sun is shining down on me
you've got me barefoot and walking on broken glass
hear my name with the sirens calling, calling me
and i'm wondering how long this is gonna last

i've been sittin', waiting for these times to change
i don't know where we're going
we're just waiting for these times to change

i feel rain when the sun is shining down on me
you've got me barefoot and walking on broken glass
hear my name with the sirens calling, calling me
and i'm wondering how long this is gonna last

when your love is like a fire
burns deep, you know
when our lips are firm with desire
i never felt higher
you can turn me to gold
with each kiss, i love the way your body gets chills
how i miss the times we make each night a new thrill

why do i see rain when the sun is shining down on me?
you've got me barefoot and walking on broken glass
hear my name with the sirens calling, calling me
and i'm wondering how long this is gonna last

well, i'm gonna sing a tune with my friends
getting out the desert
sure we'll see you again
no matter if they're good times or they're bad
this time i know you will last

well, i'm gonna sing a tune with my friends
getting out the desert
sure we'll see you again
no matter if they're good times or they're bad
this time i know you will last

well, i'm gonna sing a tune with my friends
getting out the desert
sure we'll see you again
no matter if they're good times or they're bad
this time i know you will last

well, i'm gonna sing a tune with my friends
getting out the desert
sure we'll see you again
no matter if they're good times or they're bad
this time i know you will last

well, i'm gonna sing a tune with my friends
getting out the desert
sure we'll see you again




no matter if they're good times or they're bad
this time i know you will last

Overall Meaning

The Veragroove's song "Broken Glass" is a poignant and insightful reflection on the fleeting nature of life and our attachment to material things. The opening lines of the song question why we waste our precious time on materialistic things that don't benefit our minds and why we live in denial, running through our days as if we were sleepwalking through a fire. This imagery implies the urgency of the situation and the need to wake up and pay attention to what really matters before it's too late.


The recurring theme of rain when the sun is shining down is a metaphor for the paradoxical nature of life, where moments of joy and light are often shadowed by moments of darkness and sorrow. The reference to walking on broken glass is another powerful metaphor for the pain and difficulties we encounter in life, and the sirens calling our name could represent the distractions and temptations that can lure us away from our true path.


The lyrics also touch on the transformative power of love, where two people can turn each other to gold and make every night a new thrill. However, even this powerful force cannot shield us from the challenges and hardships of life, and we are left wondering how long we can sustain this love and keep it from breaking apart.


Overall, "Broken Glass" is a powerful and introspective song that invites listeners to reflect on the fragile and fleeting nature of life and the need to cherish every moment and relationship while we still can.
