Walking on Broken Glass Lyrics
You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew
But I don't care for sugar honey if I can't have you
Since you've abandoned me
My whole life has crashed
Won't you pick the pieces up
'cause it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
The sun's still shining in the big blue sky
But it don't mean nothing to me
Oh let the rain come down
Let the wind blow through me
I'm living in an empty room
With all the windows smashed
And I've got so little left to lose
That it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
And if you're trying to cut me down
You know that I might bleed
Cause if you're trying to cut me down
I know that you'll succeed
And if you want to hurt me
There's nothing left to fear
Cause if you want to hurt me
You're doing really well my dear
Now everyone of us was made to suffer
Everyone of us was made to weep
But we've been hurting one another
And now the pain has cut too deep...
So take me from the wreckage
Save me from the blast
Lift me up and take me back
Don't let me keep on walking...
Walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
Meaning of Walking on Broken Glass
“Walking on Broken Glass” is a raw and intensely emotional exploration of heartbreak and the lingering pain of a devastating loss. Annie Lennox’s voice embodies the feeling of being shattered, comparing the experience to navigating a world covered in shards – it “feels just like I'm walking on broken glass.” The lyrics depict a life irrevocably damaged by abandonment, symbolized by smashed windows and an empty room, highlighting a profound sense of isolation and despair. Despite the beauty still present (“the sun’s still shining”), there’s no joy, only a desperate plea for rescue from this agonizing state. The song acknowledges the universal nature of suffering but emphasizes the depth of personal pain inflicted, suggesting a vulnerability that invites intervention. Ultimately, it's a powerful declaration of being wounded and needing to be saved from continuing to stumble through life’s wreckage.
