Glittering Prize Lyrics

Cover art for Glittering Prize lyrics by Simple Minds

The words to this joyful bliss-inducing tune seem centered around the desire to worship [a god, nature, a lover, whatever], yet doesn't filter out doubt ["can you never stop?" "could there ever be more than one?"] or the memory of what one enjoyed about their life before they were in love/worship ["remember the bright side of midnight" "attraction of fame"]. You could surely read a lot into some of the other lines if you wanted but that's the gist of it, to me. This song can take you places, and does it while being a bit vague, lol...kinda like the confusion that love/worship can cause.

@brandon ed I like your comment :) I love the sound of the song but had no idea what most of the lyrics were, so it was surprising to come here and find they are so deep.
