Glass and Steel
Navigating the Maze of Glass and Steel: A Rock and Roll Odyssey
Lyrics
Here in this room of glass and steel
Reflecting on the current environment characterized by modern architecture made of glass and steel.
With the TV and the tube I'm watching with my eyes
Observing television and technology with one's eyes, suggesting a sense of detachment or passive consumption.
Things are getting spacier quelle surprise
Noticing a trend of things becoming more spaced out or surreal, expressing surprise.
From the bar the circus calls
Receiving a call or invitation from the circus, possibly metaphorical for the entertainment industry.
Check the smile and crawl the halls it all comes back to me
Recalling memories, represented by crawling the halls, and feeling a connection to a rock and roll lifestyle.
With the life of a rock and roll refugee
Identifying with the life of a rock and roll refugee, suggesting a sense of displacement or disconnection.
And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone
Expressing difficulty in understanding the current state or location.
And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more
Acknowledging that the descent from a high point in life may not be enjoyable anymore.
And I hope you find the strength to carry on
Expressing a hope for the person to find the strength to continue despite challenges.
When will we ever learn
Pondering when humanity will learn from its experiences.
It's all too much it's such a burn when it all goes up in flames
Describing a situation where everything becomes overwhelming and burns out.
The trick is trying to balance all the pleasure and the pains
Highlighting the challenge of balancing pleasure and pain in life.
And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone
Reiterating the difficulty in understanding the current state or location.
And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more
Acknowledging the lack of enjoyment in the process of coming down from a high point.
Still I hope you find the strength to carry on
Expressing hope for the person to find the strength to persevere despite challenges.
In this world of flesh and bone
Commenting on the challenges and experiences in the physical world made of flesh and bone.
Check the girl and wander home alone it's all the same
Observing a familiar pattern of behavior, checking someone and then returning home alone.
I'm sick and tired and tired and sick of playing all these games
Expressing weariness and frustration with playing various life games.
And it's hard so hard
Emphasizing the enduring difficulty of the situation.
Glass and steel glass and steel
Repetition of the materials symbolizing modernity, glass, and steel.
Glass and steel
