Glass Animals Youth Meaning. Song meaningyouth is about an older person who is seemingly not able to be happy and is being called for it. How to be a human being is the second studio album by english indie rock group glass animals.it was released on 26 august 2016 by wolf tone and caroline international in europe, and harvest records in the united states.

The title the glass menagerie brings to prominence the collection of figurines composed of delicate glass and shaped like animals that the equally delicate laura owns. And we got a bit more feral. Glass animals are not a band known for turning inwards.

The song release was accompanied by the following statement on facebook:

Mother calls them a glass menagerie! Another, more obvious meaning is smoking and being reckless as a young person and ruining our lungs by smoking and drinking. Because she is crippled and immensely self conscious, laura hides herself away from reality, taking care of her glass figures and listening to old records. We asked lead vocalist/guitarist dave bayley to give us a little insight into each track on the album.
