Window
Ashton Nyte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i'm outside
your window well
incomplete
alone
i believed
when you took my hand
now your eyes are stone
it's like the end of time
has swallowed me
i'm deep below the hours
i can't breathe

i'm deceit
and you're so clean
purest angel glow
don't you wake
i won't be long
it's just that i can't see

it's like the end of time
has swallowed me




so deep below the hours
i can't breathe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ashton Nyte's "Window" paint a picture of a person who is outside someone's window well, feeling incomplete and lonely. The singer talks about how they believed in something, possibly a relationship or a promise that was made, but now the other person's "eyes are stone," suggesting that they have become unsympathetic or indifferent. The singer feels like they are at the end of time and are struggling to keep going, feeling like they are drowning in time or losing track of it entirely. They feel like they are not good enough and the person they are addressing is too pure, too angelic for them. Even though the singer is deceitful, they understand that the other person wants to remain pure and untouched.


The melancholic and hauntingly beautiful lyrics of this song create a sense of sorrow and despair, as if the singer is trying to reconcile their loneliness and desperation. The line "it's like the end of time has swallowed me" is particularly poignant, as it suggests a sense of being lost or stuck in a moment, unable to move forward or escape from it. Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing and yearning for the other person, mixed with a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness.
