Annotations and Meaning
. Naomi Wild's opening lines set a dismal tone, conveying a sense of isolation and desire. The "glass house" metaphor signifies vulnerability, being scrutinized by the public, as well as feeling confined and exposed. In the opening verse, MGK openly discusses his personal struggles. He admits to losing control, damaging relationships, and dealing with the consequences of his actions. The reference to Anna Nicole refers to people having hidden objectives. MGK smokes alone to convey his profound grief and emotional suffering. He makes heartbreaking comments of Nipsey Hussle and Pete Davidson, emphasizing the fragility of life and the pain of losing close friends. The refrain, performed by Naomi Wild, expresses a sense of sorrow and the desire to escape. MGK joins in, heightening the sense of being overwhelmed by life's challenges. In the second verse, MGK discusses his difficult journey from adolescence. He describes life as an ongoing battle, feeling trapped between a dream and a nightmare. He regrets not having the opportunity to interact with Lil Peep and mourns the passing of Mac Miller and Chester Bennington. The verse emphasizes the emotional cost of losing friends and the duration of their absence. The chorus, sung by both singers, is a cry for relief from pain. MGK considers being thrown into flames and buried in gold chains, symbolizing a yearning to flee and the weight of fame. The idea of rain sweeping everything away represents a desire for a new beginning or respite from sorrow. In the third verse, MGK expresses his deep-seated troubles with living, as well as the facade he maintains. He admits to a suicide attempt, demonstrating the gravity of his mental health problems. The verse dives into the effects of these difficulties on his relationships, including a falling out with his brother and the influence of substance misuse. MGK wonders his life's direction and the disastrous route he has taken. Naomi Wild's outro reiterates the song's themes of solitude and heartache, bringing it full circle. MGK's Glass House is a profound investigation of his inner demons and the impact of fame, loss, and addiction. Through vivid storytelling and honest emotion, the song illuminates the intricacies of mental health and the human condition.Glass House Song Lyrics
Glass House by MGK
All alone in the glass house
Lie awake 'til the sun's out
Pink sky when you come down
M3 in the driveway
Caffeine for the heartache
Never wanna have it my way
[Verse 1: mgk]
Yeah, I f**k up and lose control
Burned so many bridges, got nowhere to go
b**ches got these motives like Anna Nicole
I'm smoking cigarettes alone until it burn a hole
In my lungs, in my soul, in my denim coat
Same place I'ma keep that knife if I'ma slit my throat
This sh*t ugly, I was just with Nipsey, now he ghost
They even got my homie Pete out here, like, f**k the jokes
Damn
[Refrain: Naomi Wild & mgk]
All alone in the glass house (Just keep it going)
Lie awake 'til the sun's out
Pink sky when you come down
Sometimes I wanna f**king scream or run away, I don't know
[Verse 2: mgk]
Ayy, life's been hard since seventeen
I've been through hell, I think I'm somewhere in-between
Caught in purgatory, I can paint the scene
Everything turned to a nightmare from a dream
Look, wish Lil Peep and me had spoke, but I can't get that back
Just came from Pittsburgh, damn, I miss my homie Mac
Yeah, last time I got off the stage, I looked Chester in the face
But now he gone and ain't no going back, uh
[Chorus: Naomi Wild, Naomi Wild & mgk, mgk]
Why don't you throw me in the damn flame?
Bury me in gold chains
Throw me in the damn flame
I'm waiting on the rain to come and wash it all away
Why don't you throw me in the damn flame?
Bury me in gold chains
Throw me in the damn flame
[Verse 3: mgk]
Lately I've been sick of living and nobody knows how I'm really feeling
I always hated to smile, but it keep what is killing me hidden inside
I didn't sign up to be the hero, but I don't want to wind up a villain
I put my daughter to bed, then attempted to kill myself in the kitchen
Yeah, I should've screamed, but nobody listened
So I passed out with the blood dripping
In this glass house, feeling like a prison
Me and death keep tongue-kissing
I just fell out with my lil' bro, the life getting to us
The drink getting to us, the drugs getting to us
It's highway to hell and everybody knew it
The f**k are we doing? I'm feeling like
[Chorus: Naomi Wild, Naomi Wild & mgk, mgk]
Why don't you throw me in the damn flame?
Bury me in gold chains
Throw me in the damn flame
I'm waiting on the rain to come and wash it all away
Why don't you throw me in the damn flame?
Bury me in gold chains
Throw me in the damn flame
[Outro: Naomi Wild]
All alone in the glass house
Lie awake 'til the sun's out
Pink sky when you come down
M3 in the driveway
Caffeine for the heartache
Never wanna have it my way
