It’s a drug song about chasing a high and kind of warning folks that it’s trash.

I felt like the song was about someone going through a really difficult time no matter what it may be for me Mom had just passed away. I felt like through the song he was telling me he could understand what I was going through and I knew he could which made me even more emotional when I would listen to that song I listened to it on repeat a lot during that time.

It's pretty obvious that The Glass Prison is about addiction to drugs & alcohol, and the freedom that can be found through not simply just abstinence, but sobriety, but more specifically the freedom that Mike Portnay found through the program of Alcoholic's Anonymous (A.A.).

WOW no comments to this one yet? This is absolutely one of the GEMS on Up in it. As to it's meaning, definitely up in the air if you break down the lyrics.

I think this songs about wasted potential. so many people couldve had such a big life, with huge dreams. but all the potentialwent to waste. like living i na small town, and oknowing someone that has ahuge shot with potential, and they could getoutof the town, bit all their potental went to waste, and they end uo in that same town forever. its like knowing a kid with great potential to do good things and get somewhere, and when you come back once he's older he spends all day in a bar in the same place he wanted to get...

to me -- this is growing up with heavily religious parents, and not knowing if you're like them, or something. like your parents are heavily Christian, but you don't feel like a good nough Christian, and you don't feel close enough to God. like you're questioning what you truly believe in, what really happens in the afterlfie

I think this song means you can forget about your past, or whatever struggles you're going through, and you can just live in the moment. this song means so much to me. this song always reminds me of my dad. he was/is never there growing up, and he never will be. he's an addict. (the more you change, the less you feel) this line---or pretty much every single line, just feels like Him. I don't think he'll ever change, he thinks he's not sick. he always tells me its not him, it's not bad, he turns all his problems on...

I don't think he'll ever change, he thinks he's not sick. he always tells me its not him, it's not bad, he turns all his problems on someone else all the time. sometimes I want to hate him, and punch him breathless into the pavement. other times I just want to listen to him play guitar in my bedroom, and mess up the chords, and play until his fingertips bleed, and the smell of blood on metal will fill my nostrils. I see myself in him, an d I see him in myself. but I swear I'll never turn out like that, as long as I'm alive.\
ps - sorry for the rant/vent , haha

People say it's a "disease" to remove accountability, but more likely an honest appraisal of your life and accomplishments.

You might be 43 with no kids or girlfriend sitting alone in an apartment drinking and ordering takeout, trying to not succumb to the porn.

It is revolting, and pretty scary for sure.

I find the song to be either motivating or providing solace in that context. It is pretty scary, but you're not a total loser if you understand the seriousness of the situation...

It is pretty scary, but you're not a total loser if you understand the seriousness of the situation and are not denying anything, trying to think of a way out, with Kurt's ability to be a role model ending before that point.
Take a look at where you are. Turnaround. Step outside. Get your shit together. You want to have an impact with your life. To be a big deal.
Step outside the city/planet: As painful as all this failure is, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. There is a spiritual dimension oustside of the suffering.
The "crazy restaurant" "don't believe 'em" verse would be about having the confidence and tenacity to push through self doubt and haters/trauma. Go for the moon. You deserve it. "You hear me talking" Higher self trying to push through to make you think it is possible. Crazy restaurant: Bounty which you should claim in spite of shameful hesitation.
