Gloria Lyrics

Gloria, you're always on the run now Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow I think you've got to slow down before you start to blow it I think you're headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it You really don't remember, was it something that he said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria? Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'? If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'? You don't have to answer Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria) I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria) But you really don't remember, was it something that they said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria? A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria, how's it gonna go down? Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound? Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon? Feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' back soon And you really don't remember, was it something that he said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria? Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'? If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'? You don't have to answer Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria) I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria) But you really don't remember, was it something that they said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria? (Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria) (Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria (Grazie a Francesco per questo testo)

Meaning of Gloria

“Gloria” is a haunting exploration of identity and lost connection, driven by Laura Branigan’s powerful vocals. The song depicts a woman named Gloria as someone perpetually running from something – perhaps a past relationship or a sense of self – while simultaneously being relentlessly pursued by countless individuals who know her name and number. It’s a lament for a fragmented existence, marked by confusion and isolation; “Gloria,” trapped within an assumed identity (“alias”), is desperately trying to avoid genuine connection, yet constantly surrounded by insistent voices. The lyrics convey a deep sense of vulnerability and despair as Gloria questions her memories and struggles with the feeling of being utterly alone despite universal desire. Ultimately, Branigan’s message suggests a tragic fate for someone lost in a maze of false appearances and unfulfilled longing, forever “calling Gloria.”
