Glass World (2023 Demo)

from The Deeper Than Things Seem EP by Dan Vallerand

/

about

"Glass World" is a new song from January this year; it's about feeling trapped in a place where everyone else gets to walk freely while all you can do is listen to them tell you how nice the weather is as all you can do is watch from your station. It is another ballad, but it's a simpler ballad - in terms of instrumentation, it's just an acoustic, a bass, and some light electric guitar work that serves a subtle flourish.

lyrics

In the glass world
The sun shines brighter than love
Doors slide open freely
People come, then they go

Here in the glass world
You can look, but you can't touch
The endless grass and the hopes that shine beyond

But sometimes things are deeper
Than they seem
And sometimes the meaning is deeper
Than we think, yeah

In the glass world
Everyone's free except you
They tell you that the weather is nice
While you struggle and toil

Here in the glass world
You gotta do what you must
Even when they scream at you and make your life a bust

But sometimes things are deeper
Than they seem
And sometimes the meaning is deeper
Than we think

And i'm gonna be free of it someday
Just gotta find the courage so things can go my way
It hurts not being able to be the person you need
I just got to reconnect with the true me

Cuz sometimes things are deeper
Than they seem
Sometimes the meaning is deeper
Than we think
And sometimes what we perceive is our own reality
But when we break those chains
By God, we know we're free
