11. Behind The Glass - The Tower and The Street | Corporate Confession Ballad
@listingmine-music
Behind The Glass is Track 11 from The Tower and The Street. This is the corporate confession. The tower still shines, but the truth becomes harder to ignore. Prestige is not enough. The street grew. Retail bosses rose. Co-broking moved the game. Salary bought working time, but not hunger. This track reveals the loneliness behind the glass tower and the regret of losing the ground.
Behind the glass
The tower shines
But orders fall
From higher lines
Affiliate calls
We must obey
Global commands
Shape our day
KPI
Every week
Reports go up
Before we speak
We looked so free
We looked so high
But every move
Needs reason why
Behind the glass
Behind the glass
We wore the crown
With borrowed class
Behind the glass
Behind the glass
We talked like kings
But served the task
Back in the old days
Few names stood tall
The young country
Took our call
We shaped the rules
We shaped the trade
Laws were written
In our shade
We had the brand
We had the law
We had the trust
We had it all
Boardrooms still open
When we speak
But on the ground
Our grip grew weak
We still have rooms
They cannot reach
But lost the street
We failed to teach
Ask the street now
Say our name
Do they still know
Who ruled the game
If we were so right
Why did we shrink
The macro truth
Forced us to think
Developers smiled
Took our page
Bank requirement
Set the stage
They used our report
Then chose their way
Our recommendation
Thrown away
You said our rules
Don’t close deals
You said our suits
Can’t feel the street
We called co-agency
A cleaner name
But co-broking
Moved the game
Salary bought
Their working time
But not the hunger
Not the climb
Our clean machine
Was clean but slow
Too much polish
No deal flow
We made the bosses
One by one
A thousand shadows
From our sun
Some took retail
Some took land
Some now compete
With our own hand
If we had learned
To lead the crowd
Maybe they would
Still wear our crown
We cannot manage
A thousand names
Cannot structure
Commission games
We are not gone
We are not dust
But old prestige
Is not enough
The boardroom stays
The street still grows
The gap between
Is what we know
I hear it now
The street was right
Our tower shines
But hides the night
Behind the glass
Behind the glass
We wore the crown
With borrowed class
Behind the glass
Behind the glass
We talked like kings
But served the task
The tower knows
The tower shines
