GLASS- Truth, Lies within...

As a front cover song for the new Soul Octane Burner debut album the song Glass has become more and more appealing to me. Its intense rhythmic sounds and talent have not only opened my understanding of pain the band went through to get to where they are but as a person, what we the general public feel as well. In one or more of the concerts I have seen by Soul Octane Burner (Dave) the Voice of S.O.B has said time and time again, "don't be a slave." As I listen to the lyrics of this song (dave) seems to have possibly unveiled the truth within each of us? As many of us live our live we are told by our pieres to just sit down and be like them. Like robots being programed, as this song goes on the words simplify telling peopel to break free. Telling Us tat we should be our own person and that there is no shame in it but we only get one shot. Our lives are fragile so we must be carful but dont be like every one else, be free.

Glass-

Too many times I hear that
I need to be like you
Emulate all of your usless lives
just do it and don't ask why
shut my mouth and just bide my time
I tell you I wont do that
listen to me now
finally break free

tearing me apart
moments changing me
do you understand?
This is what I am

Don't tell me who to be
i'm sick of all your lies
I will never be usless
I will never be you

Too many times we hear that
we need to be like them
Emulate all of there useless lives
just do it and dont ask why
shut our mouths and
just bide our time
I tell you we won't do that
we won't be bought or sold

Listen to me now
Finally break free

Don't tell me, tell me wo to be
i'm sick of all you'r lies
I will never be useless
I will never be you
A pawn in all your games
this life is like glass
if you break it, it will cease to be
you only, only get one shot
