Lyrical Analysis of...
Glass Circle
- (Verse 1)
- You only called me when your sky was raining
- To check if I had room under my umbrella
- I listened to hours of you complaining
- An endless monologue you loved to tell us
- But when the sun came out, you faded fast
- Left me standing in the aftermath
- Funny how your memory starts to slip
- The second that you don't need ownership
- (Pre Chorus)
- Oh, it’s a beautiful performance that you put on
- Clapping for my wins while wishing they were gone
- I used to think that we were cast in stone
- But I’m less lonely when I’m completely alone
- (Chorus)
- So here’s to your glass circle, perfectly clear
- You only show up when a crowd is near
- A master of the double sided smile
- Stabbing my back and acting surprised all the while
- But the mirror finally cracked, the illusion is dead
- I’m letting go of everything you said
- Go find someone else to pretend with
- 'Cause this is where the credits roll and we end this
- (Verse 2)
- I noticed how you got quiet when I succeeded
- A subtle roll of the eyes, a shifted glance
- You only like me when I’m defeated
- So you can play the hero, given the chance
- You twist the narrative to make you look grand
- A flawless savior in a shifting sand
- But I’ve been mapping out the words you speak
- And the loyalty you promise is incredibly weak
- (Pre Chorus)
- Oh, it’s a beautiful performance that you put on
- Clapping for my wins while wishing they were gone
- I used to think that we were cast in stone
- But I’m less lonely when I’m completely alone
- (Chorus)
- So here’s to your glass circle, perfectly clear
- You only show up when a crowd is near
- A master of the double sided smile
- Stabbing my back and acting surprised all the while
- But the mirror finally cracked, the illusion is dead
- I’m letting go of everything you said
- Go find someone else to pretend with
- 'Cause this is where the credits roll and we end this
- (Bridge)
- No anger, no malice, just a clean break
- I’m too tired to carry the weight of a fake
- You can keep the rumors, you can keep the scene
- I’m erasing the spaces where you used to be
- Yeah, the silence is heavy, but it's finally real
- (Chorus)
- So goodbye to your glass circle, perfectly clear
- I don't care if you're far, I don't care if you're near
- Keep your masterclass in double sided smiles
- I’ve walked away and I’ve gone for miles
- The mirror completely shattered, the illusion is dead
- I’ve finally cleared your ghost out of my head
- Go find someone else to pretend with
- 'Cause the credits just rolled
- Yeah, we’re entirely finished.
- (Outro)
- Say hello to your new crowd
- Hope they cheer for you loud
- Before they see through it too.
- Yeah, we're entirely finished.
