Glad
Tyler Hilton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everywhere you go perfection
Follows you the wrong direction
And you will never see if for
You get all that you need and more
You see it, you want it
You find it, it's yours

But you can't say what you want or
Take what you want or
Choose the moods that you fake when you want
You said your life needed something special
Which you don't have, yeah
Well, aren't you glad?

The only one of five exception
The child of your pride is deception
And on your list of things to do
Is make me fall in love with you
You find one, you want one
'Cause I'm one, who plays, yeah

But you can't say what you want or
Take what you want or
Choose the moods that you fake when you want
You said, your life needed something special
Which you don't have, yeah

But you can't say what you want or
Take what you want or
Rest and wake anyway that you want
You said your life needed something special
Well, here I am, yeah, yeah
Well, aren't you glad, yeah yeah

Now you got it bad
I know you do, yeah yeah

But you can't say what you want or
Take what you want or
Choose the moods that you fake when you want
You said your life needed something special
Which you don't have, yeah

That you can't say what you want or
Take what you want or
Rest and wake anyway that you want
You said your life needed something special
Well, here I am, baby
And aren't you glad, yeah yeah




Well, aren't you glad, yeah yeah yeah
And aren't you glad, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Overall Meaning

In Tyler Hilton's song "Glad", the lyrics depict a complicated relationship where the singer has fallen in love with someone who can't be honest with themselves or others. The song seems to be written to someone who is materialistic and never satisfied, constantly chasing after things they don't have, while ignoring the good already in their life. The lines "Everywhere you go perfection, Follows you the wrong direction" seems to be a metaphor for the singer running away from reality and missing out on all the blessings they have in their life.


The chorus revolves around the theme that the person in question can't have what they want, and ultimately, they need something special which they lack. But on the other hand, the singer is there, and they should be glad. The singer is aware that the person they're singing to can't be honest with themselves and can't change their ways. The lyric "You said your life needed something special, which you don't have, yeah" reiterates the point that the person the song is directed towards is not happy with their life and feels the need for something more. But since they can't seem to figure out that missing piece themselves, the singer has to step in to show them what they've got.


In summation, Tyler Hilton's "Glad" is a song that explores the pain of loving someone who is never fully satisfied with their life. The lyrics suggest that to be happy, you need to be grateful for what you have, rather than always chasing the things that you don't possess.
