The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Herz Aus Glas" by the artist "Vincent Gross"

In the song "Herz Aus Glas" ("Heart of Glass"), Vincent Gross sings about the fragility and dependency of love. The lyrical hero suffers from the loss of his beloved, who has left him. The "heart of glass" is a metaphor for his fragile emotional state, entirely dependent on the presence of his beloved.

He recalls happy moments of intimacy ("I dreamt again that you were lying next to me"), highlighting the contrast with the emptiness of the present ("the silence hanging over you"). The hero realizes that love is lost ("we lost each other"), although a vow of fidelity was given ("we swore love to each other").

His "heart of glass" reflects the fear of being abandoned and broken. It is transparent ("you can be seen in it"), but at the same time vulnerable ("it will break if you are no longer with me"). The hero begs his beloved to return, promising his devotion ("my glass heart is only for you") and confessing his ability to see her true essence ("I am the one who knows you for who you really are").

The repeated lines "My glass heart - I won't let you go anymore!" and "Just tell me you won't break me!" emphasize his despair and fear of loss. He clings to the hope of reunion, seeking solace in the words of his beloved, which could "glue" his broken heart back together.
