Glasses
fuvk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You divy up my heart and leave nothing in between
The spaces of my ribs, oh your teeth are so pristine
Remind me of your kiss, I don't remember anything
I loved you in the slightest of ways
You always kept me going for days
I think I know what you're going to say
You taste of molasses from the cookies we made
You always gave me the last bite but never the last say
The pressure in my chest, oh I know it's so cliche
I wasn't at my best, it doesn't matter anyway
I loved you in the slightest of ways
You always kept me going for days
I think I know what you're going to say
i think i know what you're going to say
In "Glasses," fuvk croons about a broken-hearted lover who has been left with jumbled thoughts and messy perceptions of his past relationship. The first line, "You smudge up my glasses that I always keep clean," takes a literal interpretation of the impact his former lover has on his view of the world. However, throughout the song, he uses more metaphorical language to describe the lasting effects of their relationship. He speaks to the emptiness that he feels as a result of being left in shambles: "You divy up my heart and leave nothing in between/The spaces of my ribs, oh your teeth are so pristine/ Remind me of your kiss, I don't remember anything."
Fuvk, using his melancholic voice, goes on to describe the sweetness of their memories, in a way that is both nostalgic and sorrowful. The lyrics paint a picture of a love that was not fully requited but remained impactful, as he sings "You taste of molasses from the cookies we made/You always gave me the last bite but never the last say."
In the chorus of "Glasses," fuvk admits to his own naivety, acknowledging that even though he didn't love his partner in the most intense way, being with them gave him a sense of purpose that he now misses. He sings, "I loved you in the slightest of ways/ You always kept me going for days/ I think I know what you're going to say/ I think I know what you're going to say."
Overall, "Glasses" is a poignant and tender song that speaks to the universal feeling of heartbreak and the way that love can leave a lasting impression on our perceptions of the world.
