Stone Sour: Through Glass Meaning
Song Released: 2006
Through Glass Lyrics
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
How do you feel, that is the question
But I...

This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

I work at a psychiatric hospital....
& this song really makes me think that it's written in the perspective of a patient. I could be wrong or slightly biased, but from my experience on psychiatric wards; this is dead on from a patients pov.
But I have heard the photograph theory also, lookin through the glass of picture frames. Makes sense. Could be that also. Could be the one about Hollywood being a fake piece of shit cancer on our society. But the one that makes most sense to me is my theory (and I'm sure many others have thought it also) about it being about a psych unit. -
I belive thet the singer is sitting at home reliving all of his memories threw looking at all the pictures of love ones, and all the good time he has had with them. He wishes he can go back to the time when the all were still around and cared about him. Through glass is referes to him looking threw a camera lens and then taking the presios memories that he once had
-
i really do think he is in jail because of the part, im lookig at you though the glass, as in visiting hours

Me: The song is about Corey Taylor Conscious.
Lyrics: I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
Me: His conscious is looking at him in the mirror, and it telling him that this lifestyle he has feels like it lasted forever because he misses his old life (home). His conscious is sitting all alone inside his head.
Lyrics: When something like a soul becomes
Initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes You can't expect a bit of hope
Me: When a person essence is erased (initialized) and then made into something fake and superficial, then there is no hope.
Lyrics:An epidemic of the mannequins
contaminating everything
Me: Fake people are infecting everyone. -
When I 1st heard this song my mother had been diagnosed with end stage Alzheimer's Disease. Every time I hear the 1st verse of this song all I can think about how lonely she must have been locked away in her mind and unable to carry on a conversation with anyone... it just saddened me know she only remembered me as the long haired boy.

Unsure how anyone who has seen the video would think it's about being in prison. The glass is an obvious referral to a camera lense. (my opinion of course)
-
I think its about a relationship "put on pause" or so to speak I say it from experience waiting for that person you love and feels too far away and feeling like you've been waiting forever for that one person..idk that's what I think when I hear this song..makes me cry :-(
-
When I heard this song I thought of my brother. Sentenced to 25 years, knowing how much my mom and I hurt because of this he feels bad. I think it deserves a different interpretation for every one. To me it seems like any one that is there and you want yet you can't "touch" is being represented
-
Look guys
officialy corey says that it was written about shitty pop music
but as with most of his songs the meanings go so much deeper
it's just about what it means to each person. -
For me the song has a personal meaning. This song pretty much descibed an episode in my life after I lost the woman I love.
I found myself staring at my reflection in a window at work. It was dark outside but don't recall it getting dark, so had no idea how long I'd been there. Being lost in my own thoughts really did feel like home for me as reality, and my life, fell apart. I found was asking myself questions that I didn't have answers for, or was unable to face up to. I felt that my heart and soul had been torn out, screwed up like a piece of paper and thrown away. All hope had effectively gone.
I became the talk of the office after that. People I thought were friends forgot their problems and spread gossip about me (mannequins contaminating everything) and laughed at me behind my back (no more sad voices).
As for the stars, I used to think as a kid that as long as I could see the Ursa Major, the big dipper or plough constellation, I would always be safe from harm. I felt at the time that the stars had lied to me.
Sorry for the soppy explanation, but as I said, it's my own personal meaning to the song. -
Quoted from Corey Taylor on why he wrote this song
“I remember exactly where I was. It was 2004 and I was on tour with Slipknot. I was sitting in a European hotel room watching a music video channel, seeing act after act after act of this insane, innocuous, plastic music. They were plastic, 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.
It really made me mad. I was like, is this it? Have we just gone full circle? Did the singer/songwriter revolution never happen? Is it just the same drivel from the same replicate over and over again? '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.”
so I'm going with he got really angry at music and peoples hollowness -
I believe that he was talking about during his issues with alcohol and how his wife helped him, I mean that's what he said in an interview.
-
It's about smoking crack.

It reminds me of visitation with my boyfriend while he was in jail. " I'm looking at you through the glass, don't know how much time has passed, all i know is that it feels like forever, but noone ever tells you that forever feels like home sitting all alone inside your head." It describes exactly what its like for them looking at a loved through the jail glass not able to hug or even touch them. Its very painful and hard to go through. And for someone in jail all they do is think.
