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
Cause 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 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 forget you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes initialized
And folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect a bit of folks
So while you're outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me
'Cause 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 no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
How much is real?
So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins
Contaminating everything
We thought came from the heart
But never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(No more sad voices)
Before you tell yourself
It's just a different scene
Remember it's just different from what you've seen [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/stone_sour/through_glass.html ]
I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah ah
And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah ah
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
'Cause 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 no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you, yeah ah
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah ah
And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you, yeah ah
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah yeah
I don't care what this song really means; it could mean all of those things or none of them. I just feel that it's just a powerful song in general that should have a lot more attention than it gets.
This is about the people that put up their invisable walls to protect themselves from the outside world

I think it's someone trapped inside one thing, like feeling. Like this boy loves this girl but it seems like forever cause the girl doesen't notice him.
This song to me means that either your in love with someone that doesn't love you or your in love with someone that you can't see, which to me happens a lot with me and my boyfriend. I love him to bits but when he was at download this song came on and now this song is mine and his, this song means the world to me and to alot of other people, make fun of them all you like, but to me and to other people this band rocks and no one can ever change that :)
This song is so amazingly written this song means alot to me for a lot of resons alot of my resons r already listed by alot of u people so not much to put other than this songs amazing and very meaning full
and if u r wondering why my user name is yes-im-a-goth its because me and my friend went to meet anouther friends girlfriend and she said to me awesome your a goth and i said yes im a goth it was quiet funny really
I've got a husband who is sentanced to 216 years in prison, to me, this song represents the future he, or we don't have. As much as we dreamt about how our lives would be lived, the fact is, there isn't any more future. All we have is our memories, and no matter if the memorie is good or bad - there isn't any more "us" we live our love in our heads.
I personally believe its actually simpler than that, i may be wrong but i take it as being looked at as a celebrity "through glass" being a camera lense only seeing what youre told you see, and being told that youre supposed to be interesting and act a certain way because thats who you are to people. When really he wants to be seen as himself and not as the person that the camera says he is. Hince the phrase "how do you feel, that is the question, but i forget you dont expect an easy answer" i think corey believes that hollywood wants you to be who the camera glass and the people behind it tell you to be, not yourself.
Sometimes looking through the glass at someone you dont get the true meaning. We all need to just stop fighting and show who we really are. I dont realy even know who i am yet but one day i might figure it out. Im laughing on the outside and dying on the inside, so no one knows who i am either. Im fighting for what i love. And this song the part that says "im looking at you through the glass, dont know how much time has passed, all i know is that it feels like forever. And no one ever tells you that forever feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head" means that your being looked at from an angle that might not be real for you, and time passes so quickly well never be able to catch it. But then it feels like youre home and youre in your own head knowing wat exactly i going on in your perpective. If somebody has a different opinion id like to here about it
This song is very introspective and complex, as far as songs go. Corey taylor is known for actually having a point.
I think this song is about not just looking through the facade a person puts up - like smiling and acting perfectly fine when they are really on the verge of suicide. You also have to see through the fog of other people's visions of the person. Maybe they see this person as weird, a nuisance, dangerous, or a fuck up. You have to give the person a clean slate and get to know them without going on the opinions of others.
I also think parts of this song are telling you to look inside yourself and find what you think you are, not what others think you are.
"and its the stars that lie to you". It means that sometimes you believe people who are important to you when you should realy only trust yourself, like when they say you are one thing, but you know you're not, and you just agree because you think they're right just because of who they are.
In all, i think the meaning is to find yourself, and to find who a person really is by sifting through facades and viewpoints to find what is real.
This song is amazing i have to say but the genral meaning of this is what you make of it as long as it makes sence to you its the meaning to me this song means that you have to see whats on the inside not the out you have to see whats really in the person
This song is hard to figure it out. I don't agree with any of the meanings i've read soo far. But i can't come up with my own. It is a complicated song and i've though about it for hours, days even. My general idea though would be that he is singing to a person that has been on the outside of society for a long time: "i'm looking at you through the glass. Don't know how much time has passed. " i think the glass is symbolic for socal boundries. "how do you feel? That is the question. But i forget you don't expect an easy awnser. " i think from this, said person is going trough a hard time so they are isolating themselves from other people. "sitting all alone inside your head. " this line also supports the isolation theory and how the person is thinking about their problem. That's all i have so far. If anyone can build on it, that would be nice.
