“Glass House” is the opening track on 41 by Brandon Estelle. The song reflects on someone who appears confident and in control but is actually fragile and hiding behind lies, pride, and a false sense of strength.
[Verse 1]
Think you made of all stone
But that joint is see through
Building outta just glass
And think you gon' play peekaboo
Think it's giving brave man
But you lookin' Pikachu
Talkin' all your tough talk
Fumbling the interview
Shattered dreams in hallways
Echoes in the panic room
Tryna flex a strong arm
But your muscles all balloon
Chink inside your armor
Truth exposing your doom
Hollow words in chambers
Filling up like perfume
[Verse 2]
Hid behind the curtains
Acting like the sun ain't burning
Fragile soul in furnace
Mask slipping, now it's certain
Thought you built a fortress
But the walls ain't really sturdy
Every stone you laid down
Memories all blurry
Pushing through the fake smiles
Hoping no one sees you
Living in a glass house
Tryna hide behind the stars
Every lie you sold them
Now reflecting who you are
Thought you had a kingdom
But it's just a house of cards
[Verse 3]
Trapped inside your own web
Every move you make bizarre
Tryna dodge reflections
But you showing who you are
Thought you had them fooled though
But the cracks begin to show
Every truth you buried deep
Now it starts to overflow
Ghosts inside your shadow
Whispering the cold truth
Every lie you stacked up
Now you crumbling like a roof
Falling through the ceiling
With no place to hide your fears
Every brick you laid down
Now a graveyard drawing near
[Outro]
Now you're stuck in limbo
Mirror showing all of your fears
Haunted by the shadows
Lies from all those broken years
Running from the echoes
Reaper in the shadows
Glass house crumbling
And you're drowning in the tears
