🔻 Song Insight

Glass is a slow-burning grunge ballad wrapped in fragility and fracture. The song traces the hollowness of someone who uses addiction and illusion as control, building a kingdom out of smoke and shards. At its core, it’s about watching a person collapse under their own lies, propped up only by the drugs they wield — a false empire that eventually shatters. The chorus lingers like a curse: the wish that they sleep awake, forever haunted by what they’ve done.

🔻 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know the truth
And so do you
Hidden eyes
Kept inside
For every lie

[Chorus]
I hope you sleep awake
With nothing at your side
Dreams wash you down
Broken, alone, abandoned, unfound

[Verse 2]
Fake candied lies
The nothingness you hide
We know your truth inside
Facing facts, you already died

[Chorus] (Repeat)
I hope you sleep awake
With nothing at your side
Dreams wash you down
Broken, alone, abandoned, unfound

[Bridge]
Secrets breathing through teeth
Chatter leeches, hope in retreat
Blood-whipped brow, soaked lies unfold
Your glass empire shatters cold

[Verse 3]
Eyes see past your every try
Cold road, you show, take hold
Slipping doses of glass inside
Molding boys as toys to hide

[Chorus] (Extended)
I hope you sleep awake
With nothing at your side
Dreams wash you down
Broken, alone, abandoned, unfound
Nothing holding, illusion sold
Your glass will break, your grip will fold

[Outro]
Shards cut the hand that feeds
Nothing left but need
Glass in your veins, glass in your crown
When it breaks, you drown

🔻 Personal Reflection

Glass was written from a place of raw confrontation. It came from witnessing someone who defined themselves not by who they were, but by what they could control — and the drugs that gave them that control. Every false promise, every hollow mask, every manipulative move was held together with shards of glass. Without it, there was nothing left. This song is both a release and a reckoning — an acknowledgment that truth cuts sharper than any high.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

This track continues 4Me2BeFree’s mission of turning real pain into cinematic storytelling. Glass is both intimate and confrontational, a snapshot of betrayal and collapse captured in grunge minimalism. Like all 4Me2BeFree songs, it uses sound as a mirror — reflecting lived experiences, giving voice to what’s hard to say out loud, and creating a space where others can find recognition in the fragments of their own stories.
