Glass Bottles
Embracing Friendship in Glass Bottles
Lyrics
Well I'm not one to boast
Expressing humility, not inclined to boastfulness.
I'm more popular than most
Stating popularity without overt bragging.
I got friends in every barroom in town
Highlighting a wide social circle, particularly in bars.
They greet me every night
Describing a warm reception from friends every night.
And we rarely ever fight
Emphasizing harmonious relationships without frequent conflicts.
And they know what to do when the tears start Comin' down
Referencing supportive friends who know how to handle emotional moments.
Yeah they treat me all so great
Acknowledging great treatment from friends.
I'll try and illustrate
Intending to illustrate the exceptional kindness received.
Oh, I never met a group that could be so nice
Expressing admiration for a particularly friendly group.
But your gut better be hardy
Warning that resilience is needed, possibly hinting at intense social activities.
Cause they sure do like to party
Noting a fondness for partying among the mentioned friends.
And you can't find it weird when they all come served on ice
Advising not to find it strange when events take an unexpected turn.
I said, all my friends are glass bottles
Declaring that the speaker's friends are metaphorical "glass bottles."
And they've all got famous names
Indicating that these bottles have famous names.
I know it may sound absurd
Acknowledging the potential absurdity of the situation.
Since they can't say a word
Highlighting the silence of these "friends" despite their fame.
But they're all my best friends just the same
Reiterating that, despite the oddity, they are considered the speaker's best friends.
I got a friend request today
Referring to a friend request and expressing anticipation.
I couldn't wait to press OK
Excitedly accepting the friend request.
Cause in that photo was a face that I knew well
Explaining the excitement due to recognizing a familiar face in the photo.
Out of all, ain't no one finer
Suggesting the exceptional quality of one friend in the photo.
In that photo was a Shiner
Identifying a specific friend named "Shiner" in the photo.
So raise your glasses please, and let's all yell
Encouraging a celebratory toast with raised glasses.
I said, all my friends are glass bottles
Reiterating the metaphor that all friends are like glass bottles with famous names.
And they've all got famous names
Stating the fame of the metaphorical bottles.
I know it may sound absurd
Acknowledging the potential absurdity of having bottle friends.
Since they can't say a word
Re-emphasizing the silence of these bottle friends.
But they're all my best friends just the same
Reiterating that, despite the peculiarity, they are considered the speaker's best friends.
I said, all my friends are glass bottles
Repeating the metaphor that all friends are like glass bottles with famous names.
And they've all got famous names
Stating the fame of the metaphorical bottles.

Acknowledging the potential absurdity of having bottle friends.

Re-emphasizing the silence of these bottle friends.
But they're all my best friends just the same

Yes, they're all my best friends, just the same
Affirming that all these metaphorical bottle friends are the speaker's best friends.
Yes, they're all my best friends, just the same
Repeating the affirmation that the bottle friends are the speaker's best friends.
