Glorious
Zero Remy Lyrics

"Glory" by Zero Remy begins with the singer alone in a traffic jam, having lost all sense of purpose in life. The desolate and hopeless mood is captured with the lyrics: "All alone in the traffic, all sense of the game is long gone. Mouth twisted up and lips like coal, tired of spinning, you get anything you want." The character is feeling empty and powerless, trapped in the drudgery of everyday life. The words "you get anything you want" reflect a certain numbness and detachment, as if anything won't mean anything.

The chorus "Back down to the Glorious #1, my prints all over the smoking gun, all lines to the living are now undone" is a cryptic phrase that suggests a feeling of detachment and disillusionment caused by some event in the singer's life. The "smoking gun" is a metaphor for guilt and shame, and the "lines to the living" suggest a connection to reality that has been broken. The character wants to "back down to the Glorious #1," a place of perfection and beauty, but he knows it's impossible because everything has changed.

In the second verse, the singer meets someone who causes emotions to stir. The words "Her fingers felt like a fire, her skin's shifting, the words are so clear, left a burning desire, one flash will get you anything you want" suggest a passion that can sweep someone off their feet. However, the character is unable to stay in the moment with just one person, forcing himself instead to go back down to the Glorious #1.
