Glass Lyrics
This is probably my favorite song by Gavin. The lyrics are beautifully written and so eloquent. I really hope that this song makes the next album because it has the potential to be a big hit for him. I think a lot of girls (and ofcourse some guys, too) could really relate to thing song.
The song is pretty straightforward but it is also very unique. I don't know of too many other songs that convey the message this song does.
'Glass' is about being in a situation that is one-sided. The girl has deep feelings for the guy but they are not reciprocated. The guy enjoys the company of the girl but he doesn't love her the same way she loves him. Not many things in life hurt worse than being right next to someone and feeling 1000 miles away... listening to them making plans and not wanting you right there with them.
The message of the song is that you should handle people's feelings like glass... very carefully. You shouldn't lead someone on. As much as you might feel destroyed inside by getting hurt by someone you should know that we are all human. That person is just as fragile as you are and will likely feel that same way at some point in their life. "It doesn't really matter until its happening to you... everybody breaks sometimes."
The cool thing about this song is that Gavin sings it from 3 different perspectives: 3rd person, The girl's point of view, and him as himself. It's a very artisitic and unique song. It's basicly about a guy who is with a girl and then leaves her... I love this song, and I think that a lot of people would enjoy it, if they only knew about it...hopefully some day, this song will get what it deserves!
I think this song is about a girl falling in love with a guy but he doesn't feel the same.
"Dont make a girl fall in love with you, if you dont intend to catch her"
i love this song!!! hope it makes the next album!
there is a theme of karma in this song at the end when it goes:
it hurts but it's what I deserve because I should have been more careful with the others that I handled
kinda what goes around comes around!
This song is incredible. it discusses something that happens all too frequently and sends a very touching message.
This song leaves me speachless. Gavin Degraw is the by far one of the best lyricists around. This song puts into words what so many of us feel about relationships that end. It's incredible.
I don't understand what he means when he sings "your body throws holy heat" Can someone please explain this to me?
Side note: When he says "every opinion agreed" I always think he's going to say "every pin in the grenade" even though I know what the real lyrics. Weird, huh?
I'm also wondering what "your body throws holy heat" means. I would guess that it's a sexual innuendo, but I'm not sure on that one. I wonder if anyone out there can shed some light on this? Any type of guess?

I think that the line "After the heavenly speech your body throws holy heat, the angles sing when our eyes meet." is talking about her feelings for him. he tells her everything she wants to hear because he "just wanted to make her feel good," and didn't realize how much it all meant to her. He spins this love story between them that never was real for him, and she feels that his body throws holy heat and the angels sing when their eyes meet.

It means after they had sex. Heavenly speech... they spoke of love and bantered and sweet talked, then their bodies "threw holy heat" that's kind of explanatory... "the angles sing" I assume it is a poetic way to say they climaxed... in other words, it was all about sex for the guy, and when they were done, he was ready to move on. He had never intended to settle down with this girl, it was a momentary thing and he said what he thought she'd want to hear in the moment. She later realizes she'd treated ppl this way herself and...

It ends saying we all have feelings and need to treat others with the same care we are in need of.
