Song lyrics
If I had a dime for every time you walked away
I could afford to not give a shit
And buy a drink and drown my day
But your pockets, they are empty
Yea, and mine are times two
So why not make an about-face
And accept the love I send to you?

You're never gonna be content if you don't try
Try to see outside your line
There you go, you did it again!
You act as if there's blinders on your eyes

Should I apologize
If what I say burns your ears and stains your eyes?
Oh, did I crack your shell?
When it falls away, you'll see we exist as well!

Like a bottle with the cork stuck
Your true ingredients trapped up inside
Through the cloudy glass we catch a glimpse of you
I guess the hard shell represents your pride
Oh, if only it could be different
We could uncover the you, you deny
Between two, a small discrepancy
One complicates and one simplifies

You're never gonna be content if you don't try
Try to see outside your line
There you go, you did it again!
You act as if there's blinders on your eyes

Should I apologize
If what I say burns your ears and stains your eyes?
Oh, did I crack your shell?
When it falls away, you'll see we exist as well!

TAKE THOSE FUCKING BLINDERS OFF YOUR EYES!!!

So if I had a dime for every time you walked away
You could bet your bottom dollar
That I'd be filthy rich by noon today

plus the first two lines of the song is great.
If I had a dime for everytime you walked away, I could afford to not give a shit!
Good work by Incubus.

Dirk Lance (Alex Katunich) was removed from the Incubus line-up only a relatively short time ago but, apparantely, tension between the band and him was there from the early days.

Glass is alleged to be about how Brandon would be happy and welcoming in the morning whereas Dirk would be really grumpy. The two didn't mix and Dirk would repeatedly get angry and frustrated at Brandon for asking how he was every morning.

Considering this was off S.C.I.E.N.C.E. (1997, that's a long time to be getting pissed off every morning and causing everyone to get pissed off too!

The irony is the bass part is wicked and so funky, i doubt he would have written a part if he'd known the song was about him!

Hehe band politics

^ WHAAT?! uh, i think you're trippin', dude.

in my opinion, the song is about some girl playing mind games with Boyd. but how does one really know? hah.

not my favorite song by the band, but it's fun to listen to occationally.

GREAT song, one of their best, though not their best.
