Porcelain

Tow'rs' song 'Porcelain' is a poetic exploration of fragility, both in the physical and emotional sense. The lyrics open with a serene image of the sky turning to gold, a moment of beauty that contrasts with the fragility symbolized by 'porcelain.' This delicate material represents the dreams and emotions of the narrator, suggesting that even the most beautiful things can be easily shattered. The mention of a 'heart on the ground' further emphasizes the theme of vulnerability and the consequences of emotional exposure.

The chorus, 'Take me to that hidden place, Promise me the glass will break,' speaks to a desire for authenticity and the breaking of facades. The 'hidden place' could symbolize a state of true emotional intimacy, where the 'glass'—a metaphor for barriers or superficiality—can be shattered. This breaking of glass is not seen as destructive but rather as a necessary step towards genuine connection and understanding.

The song also touches on the idea that fragility is often overlooked as a gift. The line 'Fragility is a gift that we don’t see, Brought to life by the storms that wreck the sea' suggests that it is through life's challenges and hardships that our true, delicate nature is revealed. The imagery of storms and the sea further underscores the tumultuous journey of life and love, where fragility becomes a source of strength and beauty. The recurring theme of time, with 'days revolving on a spinning stilt,' adds a sense of urgency and the fleeting nature of these moments of vulnerability and connection.
