Glass Lyrics

We are going nowhere fast
Are we made of Glass?
No one knows, no one knows

Play out at the highest level
Something never sung before
Stalk by, human interaction
Keep them in their corners

We can start and turn off everything
It's all the same, don't say I'll laugh again

Save me
Oh, come on and save me
From this world
Tell me
'Cause I need to know
I'm not alone

We are taught to watch the puppets
Not the hands controlling
Do you think if we pull out the rug
The world would stop revolving?

We can start and turn off everything
It's all the same, don't say I'll laugh again

Save me
Oh, come on and save me
From this world
Save me
Oh, come on and save me
From this world

Tell me
'Cause I need to know
I'm not alone

We are going nowhere fast
Are we made of glass?
No one knows, no one knows

A wise man told me that we are born with wings
But never taught to fly
Doesn't that make you wonder why
Is it to prevent us from falling out of the sky
Or is it to stop us from soaring too high
So let me ask you this
Are you running around in a circle, going nowhere fast?
'Cause when you look at the man in the mirror
He's made of nothing but glass
You're never aware that mountains don't move themselves
Tectonic plates make them shift
That all it took was a staff to part the Red Sea
All it took was a bus to Montgomery
A single woman who refused to give up her seat
We fought an entire army with a bouquet of flowers back in the '70's
But now you're taught to remain without will until you run out of energy
Afraid that if you strive for an ideal you end up like a Kennedy
It's like being on a treadmill every day but never losing any weight
'Cause to see success the food before you digest has to change
We're stressed and high, get depressed and die
But still afraid to question why
One of the biggest criminals I ever met wore a suit and tie
When did we stop believing? When did we stop marching?
When did we stop chanting?

Glass

Kasabian songwriter and guitarist Serge Pizzorno told NME about this ambient shuffle: "This comes from the idea that if the people joined as a collective we could do so much damage. It's like when they blocked the petrol stations and we didn't have petrol for three days. There is power in that."

Pizzorno told the BBC about the inspiration for the song: "I went in a train carriage and I looked from one end to the other, and everyone was on their phone or looking at glass screens," he said. "I understand it. I've done it myself. But people used to look out the window and imagine. Boredom is such an important energy. That's when you think of new things, that's when you start creating. When did it happen that we stopped caring about what's going on around us? We're happy to get lost inside an infinite distraction machine."

Street poet Suli Breaks closes the track with a semi-rap about achieving our dreams if we all work together. It's an example of the Hip-Hop element that shows up in many Kasabian songs. Serge Pizzorno told Digital Spy : "Production-wise it's always been way more in that camp than rock music. I've never been much inspired by indie rock at all."
