Story behind the song
justin - "Broken Glass is about various aspects of deception in life. It gives the perspective of someone who has experienced this time and time again, and is upon the brink of his/her own demise." However, keep in mind that I pulled these lyrics out of thin air as I was recording the song, so forgive me if some of the lines aren't so coherent.
Lyrics
(Vae Victus...suffering upon you...)
As I take a look around
I see nothing but the fallen on the ground
Your false sense of nobility
I wonder when it will end?
I see nothing but the destruction of the human race;
fatalism;
wandering, falling down
Wondering why you're walking on broken glass,
Watching as people fall,
While you're lining your own pockets with gold..
Im falling down, one mile by mile,
I see you tear me down,
As the sins of you and me,
define our pleasure and pain
vae victus...the fallen..
So you shout and you wonder why,
Looking around, seeing nothing but the sky,
As it turns into a black(ened) room,
you wonder why it's (your own) destruction
falling down...
Yet it's odd to me that I'm left alone
In this world of despair and tragic tone
Has it all been left up to me?
I wonder when my life will end?
And the suffering will cease to exist all for me...why can't you see?
DISTRAUGHT!
As you ponder about your broken womb, its just as well,
Why dont you take one good look at yourself?
You'd never realize...
That you were there from the start,
your life has not begun;
the shards of glass on the ground as you've left..
Falling from the grace up above
Falling to the hell of below
Why can't people see its a metaphor?
For our existence here on earth?
Falling down...
The truth lies before your eyes, you have yet to realize...
