Glorious Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rose-tinted view
And satellites that compromise the truth
But I wanted more
With the cuts and the bruises
Touch my face
A hopeless embrace
[Chorus]
Faith
It drives me away
But it turns me on
Like a stranger's love
It rockets through the universe
It fuels the lies and feeds the curse
Believes we could be glorious
[Verse 2]
I need to believe
But I still want more
With the cuts and the bruises
Don't close the door
On what you adore
[Chorus]
Yeah and faith
It drives me away
But it turns me on
Like a stranger's love
It rockets through the universe
It fuels the lies and feeds the curse
Believes we could be glorious
Rose-tinted view
And satellites that compromise the truth
But I wanted more
With the cuts and the bruises
Touch my face
A hopeless embrace
[Chorus]
Faith
It drives me away
But it turns me on
Like a stranger's love
It rockets through the universe
It fuels the lies and feeds the curse
Believes we could be glorious
[Verse 2]
I need to believe
But I still want more
With the cuts and the bruises
Don't close the door
On what you adore
[Chorus]
Yeah and faith
It drives me away
But it turns me on
Like a stranger's love
It rockets through the universe
It fuels the lies and feeds the curse
Believes we could be glorious
About
Genius Annotation
A bonus track on the Japanese release of Black Holes and Revelations. The song starts and ends with 33 overdubbed guitars playing random notes and its melody is based on chromatic scales.
The song is about a conflicting relation with faith; not necessarily a faith in God or religions but in a cause, a belief, and in yourself as a human being. Starting from a dystopian interpretation of society and reality in general, the song gives us hope to keep on by believing in ourselves.
It is also the B-side to “Invincible”.
