Dr. Glass Lyrics

in the world
so many
useless bodies
so much traffic

in the world
so many
useless bodies
please consider
all the couples kissing
the children missing
the corpses rotting
in the cities spotting the globe

in the world
so many
useless bodies
so much sorrow
all the couples kissing
the children missing
the corpses rotting
in the cities spotting the globe

in the world
so many
useless bodies
so much sorrow
all the couples kissing
the children missing
the corpses rotting
in the cities spotting the globe

Cover art for Dr. Glass lyrics by Deerhunter

I noticed in the Watchmen, in Dr. Manhattan's story, the scientist who is helpless to watch him get blasted by radiation is named Dr. Glass. Don't know if that has any significance. Also, the Fluorescent Grey EP this is off changed my life.

i think it may have something to do with it. didnt Dr glass leave him to die alone? he couldnt watch him so he was selfish and left him to die alone. this ep is currently changing my life. make sure you listen to atlas sound.

Cover art for Dr. Glass lyrics by Deerhunter

wow, this is an amazing song. I love the more reserved and delicate deerhunter songs. this track has a restrained tension and melancholy in it, it immediately hit me, reminds me of the sensations we feel when the world has us down. Things around us seem useless, wasted, unnecessarily cruel and meaningless. Even the things that should be beautiful or positive, just seem false. Cox captures that sentiment about as well as anyone in music today. Although its interesting that this song has an upbeat rhythm with handclaps and group vocals, the keyboard chords are unmistakably melancholy. Brilliant song.
