Glass
Unveiling Resilience: Julian Casablancas' Bulletproof Glass Perspective
Lyrics
I don't believe it, I won't believe it
I have skepticism; I refuse to accept it
I'm not sad, I understand that's how it goes
I'm not upset; I comprehend that's the way life unfolds
Take it easy, there's no time to be mad
Take it easy; there's no time for anger
That's their job, blood on their teeth, death on their mind
It's their responsibility; they have a violent nature, death on their minds
Pretty baby, please just get out of the way, where it's safe
Pretty baby, please move to safety; avoid danger
Eyes will follow you, weapons can't break through
People will watch you; weapons can't penetrate
Tears will swallow you, they all can see right through
Tears will engulf you; everyone can see the truth
Bulletproof glass
Emphasizing the protective nature: bulletproof glass
Bulletproof glass
Reiteration of the bulletproof glass
Bulletproof
Emphasizing the concept of being bulletproof
You're in trouble now
Indicating trouble or danger
But who knows?
Uncertain about the outcome
But who knows?
Repetition of uncertainty
Please don't deceive me, I'm just so easily fooled
Request not to deceive due to vulnerability
But there's some things they do not want the answers to
Some questions are intentionally avoided
Don't want to bring all that up, but they keep leaving it out
Avoiding certain topics despite their importance
What to do?
Contemplating what to do in this situation
We'll just let it be until they all need
Delaying action until it becomes necessary
Bulletproof glass
Reiteration of the protective concept: bulletproof glass
Bulletproof glass
Emphasizing the protection of bulletproof glass
Bulletproof
Reemphasizing the concept of being bulletproof
You're in trouble now
Signifying trouble or danger
But who knows?
Uncertainty about the outcome
But who knows?
Repetition of uncertainty
If you want to know somebody, might take a quick look at their best friends
Understanding someone involves examining their close relationships
Diamonds are hers, a dog is his
Symbolizing possessions and companionship
You can lie to yourself, but don't lie to me
Self-deception is allowed, but honesty is expected
It's what they want
Referring to desires
Dominance and loyalty, romance and security
Highlighting important aspects: dominance, loyalty, romance, security
Stay behind
Advising to stay in the background
Bulletproof glass
Reiteration of the protective concept: bulletproof glass
Bulletproof glass
Emphasizing the protection of bulletproof glass
