Glass Eyes Lyrics

Hey it's me
I just got off the train
A frightening place
Their faces are concrete grey
And I'm wondering, should I turn around?
Buy another ticket
Panic is coming on strong
So cold, from the inside out
No great job, no message coming in
And you're so small
Glassy eyed light of day
Glassy eyed light of day

The path trails off
And heads down a mountain
Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads
And I don't really care
Now the path trails off
And heads down a mountain
Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads
And I don't really care

I feel this love to the core
I feel this love turn cold

What is the Meaning of Glass Eyes?

In the tradition of Radiohead's poetic ambiguity, this lyrical masterpiece paints a picture of an individual grappling with anxiety and alienation. The protagonist appears to be in a state of existential crisis, caught between the cold concrete reality and an uncertain path leading down a mountain. The repeated phrase 'glassy eyed light of day' suggests a sense of disconnection from the world, as if viewing it through a glass barrier. However, there's also an underlying acceptance of this uncertainty. The protagonist doesn't care where the path leads - perhaps indicating that he's embracing his feelings rather than battling them. A beautiful ode to human vulnerability! #Anxiety #Alienation #ExistentialCrisis #EmbracingUncertainty
