We See Through A Glass Darkly (feat. Clare Steffen)

by Round The Globe (feat. Clare Steffen)

/

about

The reference to "We see through a glass darkly," can be found in the First Epistle in Paul's letters to the Corinthians, in the New Testament. In the context of this song we are reminded that if we try to see through an obscure piece of glass, our vision will be clouded and imperfect. We can go through life avoiding truth, and honesty. Sometimes we misunderstand the sensitive individuals who are brave enough to see past the darkness and seek authenticity. Vocals and Lyrics by Clare Steffen (USA), Music and Music Production by Raul Barba (Argentina), and Saxophone by mateusz_sax (UK) as a part of the Round The Globe project. Radio Edit

lyrics

V1

They say I am too sensitive

And my thoughts were too deep

Maybe they are insensitive

Or walking through life half-asleep

Unaware and afraid to feel

We see through a glass darkly



V2

Perhaps they can't see what I see

Not great fans of honesty

Emotional blindness works for them

Some can be so quick to condemn

Sometimes I want to scream

We see through a glass darkly



Chorus

When I push the boundaries of my mind

I might have to walk all alone

Truth may not always be so kind

But I can call my life my own

Refusing to see through a glass darkly



Bridge

Some see through a glass darkly

But, I refuse to see through a glass darkly

Some see through a glass darkly

But, no one has to see through a glass darkly



Instrumental Breakdown



V3

The more I seek to understand

The less they are understanding

Time is slipping through my hand

Distance between us is expanding

Emotional blindness continues on

We see through a glass darkly



Chorus

When I push the boundaries of my mind

I might have to walk all alone

Truth may not always be so kind

But I can call my life my own

Refusing to see through a glass darkly



Post-chorus

Some see through a glass darkly

But I refuse to see through a glass darkly

Some see through a glass darkly

No one has to see through a glass darkly
