Chewing Glass
Chewing Glass: Battling Life's Broken Promises
Lyrics
Three cheers for the masterplan
Expressing enthusiasm for a well-thought-out plan or strategy.
Clenched fist with a broken hand
Illustrating determination despite facing difficulties or setbacks.
Stuck in a corner, stuck in a corner
Feeling trapped or confined, possibly in a challenging situation.
False start, with no second chance
Beginning something with an initial failure and no opportunity for redemption.
Built your house on a bed of sand
Building a foundation on unstable ground, leading to inevitable problems.
It's underwater, it's underwater
Describing a situation that is submerged or overwhelmed.
Back up, bad luck, she's at it again
Encountering setbacks and misfortune, possibly due to someone's actions.
I got a real big problem and she don't care
Highlighting a significant problem that is being ignored or disregarded.
So sick and tired of coming in last
Expressing frustration at consistently finishing last or being unsuccessful.
I'm spitting blood, I'm chewing glass
Describing intense physical and emotional distress, possibly due to a challenging situation.
Got tricked by a pretty lie
Being deceived by an attractive falsehood or illusion.
It's no greener on the other side
Acknowledging that alternate options or paths are not necessarily better.
Like a lamb to the slaughter, lamb to the slaughter
Comparing oneself to a naive sacrifice, led unsuspectingly into a harmful situation.
Don't care if I live or die
Expressing a sense of apathy towards life and its uncertainties.
Modern life is a firefight
Characterizing modern life as a constant and intense struggle.
And I'm not a soldier, not a soldier
Asserting a non-combatant role in the midst of life's challenges.
Back up, bad luck, she's at it again
Repeating the theme of encountering misfortune or obstacles due to someone's actions.
Yeah I got a real big problem and she don't care
Reiterating the presence of a significant problem that is being ignored.
So sick and tired of coming in last
Expressing weariness and dissatisfaction with consistently being in a losing position.
I'm spitting blood, I'm chewing glass
Re-emphasizing intense physical and emotional distress, symbolized by "chewing glass."
