I always pictured a person looking at his newborn baby through the glass window when I heard this song. Never thought about someone watching terrible shows through the television screen lol
"Cause I'm looking at you through the glass... Don't know how much time has passed All I know is that it feels like forever" ...after hearing this story, these lyrics are funny.
General Comment I was looking up the meaning of this song and i found one site about the lead singer Corey Taylor explaining what the song Through Glass was really about. This is what he says during the interview.. ---> I remember exactly where I was. It was 2004 and I was on tour with Slipknot. I was sitting in a European hotel room watching a music video channel, seeing act after act after act of this insane, innocuous, plastic music. They were plastic, bubbly, gossamer-thin groups where it was really more about the clothes they wore and the length of their cheekbones than it was about the content of the song they were singing. It really made me mad. I was like, is this it? Have we just gone full circle? Did the singer/songwriter revolution never happen? Is it just the same drivel from the same replicate over and over again? 'Through Glass' is really a very angry song. It's me basically calling 'bulls--t' on pretty much everyone involved with the 'American Idol'-type shows. It has its place, but when you're basically cornering the market and making it very hard for anyone who actually writes their own music to get ahead, then it's wrong and that's really why I wrote this song
So, Through Glass was inspired when Corey was on tour in Europe (2004-2005?), shits everywhere, gets sick and can’t move to change the channel European MTV and gets pissed with the music so he starts writing... Yea I’ll take that
The bunch of 'em are Gibson, and they ain't cheap man. The two on the right are a J45 and J50 respectively and the one on the left looks like some kind of a EJ-185EC. :)
Food poisoning happening that fast? I don't think it was the McDonald's that caused it because the shortest I've heard of food poisoning acting is within 30 minutes
in my food handlers class you need to take before working in any kitchen in Canada tells us that it can hit you anywhere from 5mins- 2 hours after eating!
I always feel weird when Americans talk about us Europeans as a unit. I mean... do they know that we are vastly different countries with vastly different cultures and levels of service? Dunno that I have ever heard of "European mtv" :b I'd suppose it's be divided by country. German mtv won't be the same as Norwegian mtv.
Huh, when I heard his song, u thought of a outcast kid that has a huge crush on this really popular girl but she thinks he's gross and dumb but she doesn't know what he actually lives through.
