Story Behind The Song
Mostly written by guitarist Francesco Maraldo about singer, and painter, hence the chorus line, Jenna Fournier (the two have engaged in a relationship off and on throughout the duration of the band.)
The song is about emotionally decompressing and exploring religion and spirituality in the context of a relationship.
Song Description
'Glow' is a heavy melodic rock song with haunting and enchanting female vocals, pop-friendly hook and riffs that are soaked in fuzz, and lyrics that vaguely explore religion and spirituality in the context of a relationship. It's one of the band's heaviest songs, and is a thrasher live. It's also one of the band's few songs that utilize dual vocals, with Maraldo joining Fournier on both the verses and choruses.

Lyrics
I always see the best when I lay on my back,
letting all my thoughts, repressed, melt gently into the underground.
Just tell me what you want; I'll show you just how to get it.
That's if you know at all now.
Let me paint a picture of you.
I'll take you on a trip to cities paved in hues of gold.
I'll show you how to live without your third eye closed.
Just let me lead the way, I'll show you how to get there.
We'll leave behind today now.
Let me paint a picture of you.
The air is alive. She breathes free with you.
We share the silence, wide awake, but never moving,
Hope is irresistible. Lies become truth.
I'm pushed into another realm, but my heart stays with you.
How do you glow, my friend...?
How do you glow?
