Through The Glass?

Question

What do people truely think this song is about. I just wounderd what other belive its talking about.

Answer 1

I saw this in a Stone Sour message forum.


The song itself — with its reference to "An epidemic of the mannequins contaminating everything" — began when STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor (also of SLIPKNOT) was "sitting in a European hotel room watching a music video channel," he says. "I just remember seeing act after act of this inane, innocuous, plastic music. They were bubbly gossamer-thin groups, where it was really more about the clothes they wore and the length of their cheekbones than it was about the content of the song they were singing. 'Through Glass' is really a very angry song. It's me basically calling 'bullshit' on pretty much everyone involved with the 'American Idol'-type shows. It has its place, but when you're basically cornering the market and making it very hard for anyone who actually writes their own music to get ahead, then it's wrong and that's really why I wrote this song."

The public's fixation on the lives of celebrities and plastic culture, as reflected in the video, is distracting people from focusing on society's real problems, Taylor feels. "People are realizing now — a little too late — that they let the administration get away with things that are unconstitutional, including pardoning their white collar crime friends. A brain can only take so much before you say, 'Good God, I need to wrap my head around something that I can deal with.' So people go to these innocuous magazines that show the glamorous life. They want to see celebrities' lifestyles they don't want to know what celebrities think for the most part. They don't want them to be socially conscious because then they have to realize that there is a problem"

Answer 2

Honestly I really dont know, but if I would have to guess I would say that he is saying that love is like looking through a glass, its blurred and sometimes hard to see through and times it goes by slow but yet so fast. Uhhhh....now I am trying to seriously figure it out but I have NO CLUE what the song is really about. I keep singing it over and over again in my head and I am coming up with different answers everytime. If you know the answer please tell me.
