Not many people know this one. It's a metaphor. A "box" refers to the measure, and the "sharp objects" are the notes. Anyone who reads music understands this -- it's about music's effect on people, hence the word "sharp"...and the whole "glorification" thing is referring to music's power in this world...

It's about having something you're really good at (sharp objects being a metaphor) and being able to throw it at someone and prove yourself and show people that doubt you what you can do.

The person above me is an idiot. just because you cut doesn't mean that's what all songs are about. It IS about music's effect on people.

This song is obviously about getting over something hard.
"Today I fell and felt better
Just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and sharper "
This song is also about glory
"Do you want a song of glory
Well I'm fucking screaming at you "

It's not about cutting. Bert McCracken said it was about all the good and bad and shit like that.

This song is about methamphetamine. The high makes you feel stronger and makes your senses sharper.

"It's our time to shine, through the down, glorified by what is ours" - this means he feels invincible and nothing in the world can get him feeling down.

A 'box of sharp objects' refers to a bag of crystal

"its our time to shine" this song is about ups and downs, and finding the box of sharp objects (music) that pulls them through. The bands rise to sucess in their music. "glorified by what is ours" their fuckin music

I think it's about love.. "Today I fell and felt better" falling in love. "A box of sharp objects" the deadly side of love.

This song definitely has split meanings.
1 is Bert's drug addictions and how he used drugs to escape his relationship problems and the box full of sharp objects isn't talking about razors it's talking about needles

2 like the first person said its saying how music effects people and how people can take things differently
