Glory
The Waffle Stompers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I wonder
Where the glory is in inspiration
Brought the tears from the pain
And seperation to death for nation

And I'm just a pile of buddy (?)
Broken hearts really millions
Depends on a paper
Makes me want to turn away
From what I'm fighting for

Whoa-oh-oh
Yeah
Whoa
Whoa-oh-oh
Yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
So I think I'll stay outside

Daddy says we've got no chance
And we might as well pack in
And he's gone fromt he thought
He says we lack the heart

And I can't help
But think that it's worth it
To go speak to them
So I step into city moments
To a three-part pardon me (?)

I have no problem with a crowd pleaser
We'll never fucking die!

Whoa-oh-oh
Yeah
Whoa
Whoa-oh-oh
Yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
So I think I'll stay outside

Singing
Whoa-oh-oh
Yeah
Whoa

Whoa-oh-oh
Yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh





So I think I'll stay outside
So I think I'll stay outside

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Waffle Stompers' song "Glory" express the struggle to find meaning and purpose in fighting for a cause. The artist wonders where the glory lies in the inspiration that brings tears and pain and ultimately leads to separation and death for a nation. The artist acknowledges being just a "pile of buddy" representing broken hearts in the face of such suffering, and questions the paper-thin reasons for waging war. Despite the doubts and hurdles, the artist still feels compelled to fight and to speak to the masses, knowing that they might be written off as having no heart or chance at success. The chorus repeats the declaration that they will stay outside, an ambiguous statement perhaps indicating that they will continue to fight or that they will refuse to be seduced by the promises of glory and reward.


"Glory" is an introspective and thought-provoking song that raises important questions about the nature of conflict and the human cost of war. It encourages listeners to consider what drives us to fight or to support those who fight, and to critically examine the narratives and justifications put forth by politicians and leaders. The song also pays tribute to the resilience and courage of those who continue to fight despite overwhelming odds, and emphasizes the importance of staying true to one's values and convictions.

Daddy says we've got no chance
Father's words express a hopeless situation


And we might as well pack in
Suggesting that it's worthless to try and we should give up


And he's gone fromt he thought
He no longer has belief

And I can't help
I can't resist


But think that it's worth it
Believing that it's still worthwhile despite the difficulty


To go speak to them
To communicate with them


So I step into city moments
Entering urban circumstances


To a three-part pardon me (?),
To what seems like a way to ask for forgiveness


I have no problem with a crowd pleaser
It's okay to be entertaining


We'll never fucking die!
We will never perish!
