Glass House Lyrics – Elijah Blake | from “THE GEMINI”

Thematically, it’s a gut-punch autopsy of love on the brink: replaying the play-fights that turned toxic, the grudges that pack bags, that nagging “Should I be worried?” loop as missed calls and cold shoulders pile up. “Did beauty kill the beast?” he wonders in the opener, flipping fairy tales into therapy fodder, all while grappling with the urge to rewind and “love you gently.” It’s vulnerable without the cheese, the kind of track that soundtracks those 3 a.m. scrolls through old texts—Blake’s way of saying, yeah, we’ve all thrown a stone or two.

THE GEMINI itself? It’s Blake’s zodiac-titled deep dive into duality—torn between healing and heartache, chasing love’s pull even when it stings. Spanning nine tracks, it’s a cozy winter unravel: openers like “Open Spaces” set a reflective tone, mid-album heaters like “Work It Out” and “White Rum” bring the groove, and closers “Fool’s Gold” and “Bubble” (that Louis York collab) wrap it in forgiving warmth. Singles “Shouldn’t Wanna Call” and this “Glass House” gem already tease the arc—personal as hell, recorded in pockets of his LA life post-Grammy nods. No bloated guest list; it’s intimate, like eavesdropping on a late-night journal.

Blake’s owning this moment hard—fresh off 2024’s elijah! deluxe glow-up and that Chateau Lane intimacy that had fans packing his shows. The Virginia-bred hitmaker, who’s penned for RiRi and scored his own Grammy shine, is leaning into the storyteller he’s always been, trading behind-the-scenes polish for front-and-center rawness. With The Gemini Tour revving up soon—kicking off in St. Louis on release night—it’s his boldest claim yet on R&B’s emotional frontlines, proving the kid from the DMV can still make your heart ache and head nod in the same breath.
