Glass House (Sad Version) (feat. Naomi Wild)

Machine Gun Kelly's 'Glass House (Sad Version)' featuring Naomi Wild is a raw and poignant exploration of personal turmoil, loss, and the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind. The 'glass house' metaphorically represents a fragile, transparent prison where the artist feels exposed and isolated. The recurring imagery of lying awake until the sun rises and the pink sky signifies a restless mind and the fleeting moments of beauty that come with the dawn, only to be overshadowed by the harsh reality of the day.

The lyrics delve into MGK's struggles with control, addiction, and the consequences of his actions. He reflects on the bridges he's burned and the people he's lost, including references to late friends and fellow artists like Nipsey Hussle, Lil Peep, Mac Miller, and Chester Bennington. These losses weigh heavily on him, contributing to his sense of despair and helplessness. The mention of Anna Nicole Smith highlights the manipulative relationships he's encountered, further emphasizing his feelings of betrayal and loneliness.

MGK's candid admission of his suicidal thoughts and attempts reveals the depth of his mental health struggles. The line 'I put my daughter to bed, then attempted to kill myself in the kitchen' is particularly harrowing, showcasing the stark contrast between his public persona and private pain. The repeated plea to be 'thrown in the damn flames' and 'buried in gold chains' symbolizes a desire for escape and a longing for the end of suffering. The song's haunting refrain and melancholic tone underscore the pervasive sense of entrapment and the search for solace amidst chaos.
