Does anyone know what the song "Through Glass " by Stone Sour means?

Question

I have a few ideas but I'm not sure

Answer 1

1) Well the most correct answer would be to consult www.songfacts.com , they collect all the artists comments, and fan's interpretations, on songs. But seeing as they dont have 'through the glass' listed, we'll have to go to choice two.

2) The poetic answer is a song, especially a metaphorical one such as this, is purposely left a little vague so that you can superimpose whatever you want on it. It is of course something related to distanced love, but its really whatever you want it to be depending on what words you latch onto. Now... seeing as this is a semi-cop-out answer, i will go to choice three.

3) my opinion of the song is this, and it is solely my interpretation. It is about a person who has been through some hardship, most likely a very bad relationship which sticks with them and causes thier soul to be "initialized and folded up like paper dolls". The singer is telling the said person that he can see past her emotional scars from past relationship, but that she is keeping herself behind a pane of glass... where forever passes her by while she sits "alone in your (her) head". He points out she got into this by following an epidemic of mannequins (read: people without enough soul to feel bad about ruining other people's soul with thier actions), and its implied the singer is above that and he can take her out of this world she has made behind the glass.

oh also, the stars lie :-P

Answer 2

" Launch Radio Networks reports: STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor recently said that the band's hit song "Through Glass" was based on his reaction to watching MTV Europe and seeing "act after act of this inane, innocuous, plastic music." Taylor told Launch that the song really reflects his distaste with the way celebrities are marketed as music artists. "I can't like something just because it's on television," he said. "I can't like something just because it's this person, they're lit well and they have great cheekbones. And I'm just like, 'No, I don't get it, and I don't wanna get it.'If I don't feel it, then I push it away, and that's really what the song is about."
