The Enigmatic Yearning of the Tower of Glass

Twin Tribes' song 'Tower Of Glass' delves into themes of longing, mysticism, and the inevitable collapse of structures, both physical and metaphorical. The lyrics open with a sense of desire and belonging, as the 'crystal tower' yearns for energy. This tower can be seen as a metaphor for a fragile, transparent structure that holds secrets and desires within. The mention of everything falling suggests a sense of impending doom or collapse, hinting at the fragility of the constructs we build, whether they are emotional, societal, or spiritual.

The song continues with references to prophecies and mystics, evoking a sense of ancient wisdom and foretelling. The 'great collapse' and the 'ceremony for the famed relapse' suggest a cyclical nature of rise and fall, where even the most revered structures and beliefs are not immune to decay. The 'wall of destiny' remaining implies that despite the collapse, some elements of fate or destiny are unchangeable, standing firm amidst the chaos.

The chorus emphasizes the need to 'follow the Moon' and 'follow the nightfall,' which can be interpreted as a call to embrace the unknown and the mystical aspects of life. The Moon often symbolizes intuition, mystery, and the subconscious. The repeated assertion that 'secrets will not be heard inside the tower of glass' reinforces the idea that some truths remain hidden, inaccessible within the fragile, transparent walls of the tower. This could reflect the human condition of seeking understanding and connection, yet often finding that some mysteries remain elusive.
