| Robyn Hitchcock – Glass Hotel Lyrics

This song seems to expose the dreamlike quality of emotions. How ephemeral and surreal this existence really is, and also how strangely beautiful.Make those connections now, because, like a dream, they will be gone. It reminds me of an Indian mystic that I read about, that would not speak to his disciples and visitors, but would only smile and shed a tear for them.There's a love and hopelessness within these lyrics, that I can't put a finger on, but some part of me understands them fully. |

I completely agree with you. It's about erasing the past from your memory. The character even fantasizes a suicide, where he's not there anymore to feel the pain he has transferred to his past love. |

I heard in an interview, Jon Anderson say that the song was about death. That's all he mentioned. His lyrics are very special to me because he puts references to spiritual texts in his works.
I feel that he might have been reading The Tibetan Book Of The Dead at some point, because the bardo state after death is said to be like the feeling of heat and cold raining upon your head equally. It's also a state that those who have experienced Kundalini describe as an affect.
It's a powerful song. |
