Discover the story of the song > Overglow – Adam Lambert

The protagonist is feeling disconnected from the people around him, as if no one truly understands him. He believes that if his partner wants something genuine, she knows where to find it. The overglow refers to a place or state of mind where moments are fleeting and the protagonist feels alone, despite his partner not realizing it. He feels like his partner is lost in a delusion, only responding to his messages with empty words that hurt him. It saddens him that he feels like he's losing her to this delusion, and it breaks his heart. The lack of a true connection with others is emphasized in the repeated line "There's no human connection." Despite feeling this way, the protagonist knows that his partner is unaware of how he truly feels because of the hold the overglow has on her. The song ends with a reminder of the overglow, once again highlighting the protagonist's feelings of loneliness.
