Backstory:
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.
Lyrics:
V1
They say I am too sensitive
And my thoughts are 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
Living in blindness works for them
Some can be so quick to condemn
It makes me 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
Instrumental Walkdown
V3
The more I seek to understand
The less they are understanding
Time is slipping through my hands
Distance between us is expanding
Living in blindness continues on
Some 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
No one has to see through a glass darkly
