Glass

Mareux's song 'Glass' delves into the fragile and ephemeral nature of a relationship that was never truly built on solid ground. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is as delicate and breakable as glass. The recurring imagery of glass breaking symbolizes the inevitable shattering of illusions and the painful realization that the relationship was never meant to last. The line 'You kiss me like you used to' suggests a longing for the past, but it is quickly followed by the acknowledgment that 'We don't belong,' highlighting the dissonance between memory and reality.

The chorus, with its repeated question 'When are you coming home?' and the resolute answer 'I'm not coming home again,' underscores the finality of the breakup. This repetition emphasizes the emotional distance and the acceptance that the relationship is beyond repair. The lyrics 'Our love was porcelain' further reinforce the theme of fragility, suggesting that their love was beautiful but easily broken. The realization that 'We were never in love, it was only a dream' speaks to the disillusionment and the painful awakening from a fantasy.

The song also touches on themes of loneliness and unfulfilled expectations. The repeated line 'I was lonely' at the end of the song drives home the emotional void left by the failed relationship. The lyrics 'I was only waiting for tomorrow, you were never giving me a chance' reflect a sense of missed opportunities and unreciprocated efforts. Mareux captures the essence of a relationship that was doomed from the start, filled with longing, disillusionment, and the ultimate acceptance of its end.
