| ATB – Made Of Glass (Feat. Heather Nova) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Delicate and beautiful song! Heater Nova's voice gave the song a very strong emotional dimension! In my opinion, the song's talking about the Fragility of our human condition, and the Fragility of our world. Birds, trees, ourself: "we're all made of glass", one day, we'll die and will disappear. The "glass", fragile and precious, don't only shows our precariousness, it is also an echo to the "dust in the sand" (glass's made of silica's sand). This sentence reminds me of the famous "dust you are and to dust you will return". In one word: we're mortal, and so vulnerable. The "breath on the water" reminds me of our origins (first form of life in the water, or for the anti-evolution: the life in the mother's tummy). There's something very deep and somehow mystical in this sentence. I mentionned the Fragility of our World, because we can interpret this song as a warning for the global warming. A guy in YT has made a wonderful music video about global warmig with this song. ("A change is coming" ; "birds are flying in the trees below" ; "life seems to shatter" ; "I feel the wonder in my flesh and bones") "The weight is lifting and I'm siking down": the weight is maybe a metaphore of the responsability, the care about the planet. He's going away, so the Earth is sinking down. I don't really know. But I like this sentence and the opposition in it. I'm wondering, maybe it can be the story of a dying love relationship? So, what's your interpretation? (I'm so sorry for the English mistakes, I speak French in fact!) |

Really love the song, it brings hope and joy with his clear sound and lyrics! I think Squishy's right! The guy in the song is talking about a past filled up with drugs and other sh*t and it killed his existence, his sensation of being conscious of his world, conscious of his own life. One can notice he's talking to the drugs ("so pack your things, you'd better go"). In my opinion, this personification shows a strong relation with the chemic. But he decided to interrupt it, because it kills his "days, [his] innermost". He stops the "belief in chemicals" and starts enjoying the "real" life, with its "open sky" and "million stars". "They open up my eyes and this is just because I feel � I feel so alive" means that the world was always beautiful, but he can't see it until he opens his mind, and free itself from the drugs. "Meet me at the station or maybe in another life": the drugs will always exist, but not in his life anymore. The "station" is a metaphor of a new start, I thihnk. "I`ll turn back time" shows his determination to start again from scratch ("no regrets") "I feel, I feel so alive": very strong sentence to me. The drugs became a prison and stopping takin them is like a wonderful liberation. Anyway, this song is beautiful! Above the story of the man, I can feel alive too, the songs fills me up with positive energy! =D (I'm sorry if there are mistakes, I speaks French in fact) |

Love this song too (the clip too! Beautiful images!) It's about global warming ("ice caps melt away" + "who will be left standing when I'm (Earth) gone"), but not only. I think it's talking about the passivity and its negative consequences. ---> "Don't they know there's something they can do" + "are you hoping for a miracle" It's an appeal to change things. First, by becoming conscious of what's happening ---> "Don't they know there something going wrong" Then, by doing something. Praying is useless, it's passive. We must act "to be sure of tomorrow's tomorrow". And this sentence can be apply to any bad things (war, hungry, etc.). In one word, don't "turn a blind eye to the light", see what's happen and do something for the future of our planet ("I am balanced in yours hands" [album version]) AND by extension of humanity. =) That's what it means for me. (A big sorry if you don't understand what I've write, because I don't speak English =S) |

The hypothesis of ecta is interesting, though I think it is talking more about love. Love is like a drug, it makes you intensily happy, sometimes stupid. It reminds me of "You really are my ectasy" of ATB. ('scuse me if you don't understand, I don't speak English) |
