The lyrics encourage listeners to recognize that despite feeling lost or aimless at times, there is a unique role for everyone, which contributes to the larger symphony of life.

The metaphor of life as a symphony runs deeply through 'Glorious,' suggesting that just as every instrument in an orchestra contributes to the overall beauty of a musical piece, every individual has something unique and beautiful to contribute to the world.
