Window
Cōrt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
radiating blue in an empty void
playing myself in an endless game of pong,
and i'll never win, it's got me going paranoid
i don't know what i want from you, but you do
i won't be coming home today, cos you got me feelin blue
and when you look me in the eyes, i look away
sometimes i like to refuse everything that
i have to offer to myself, cos i'm
a little overwhelmed by the ideal, oh
what if i made it and i prove myself wrong
this window that i see life through
is a blessing and a curse
the aesthetic of my life is one worth living for
so i'll keep passing by, and you should find yours
sometimes i get lost in my brain and there is no escape but to block out my pain, but it's not really pain, it's just misinformation that causes me to stumble upon myself.
got a bruise, dirty shoes, i aint heard the news, and im still tryna catch a cruise,
i'm still waiting on that feeling, that everyone calls love
sometimes i like to refuse everything that
i have to offer to myself, cos i'm
a little overwhelmed by the ideal, oh
what if i made it and i prove myself wrong
The song "Window" by Cōrt is all about feeling lost and disconnected from the world. The first few lines describe this feeling perfectly - the singer doesn't feel like they belong anywhere and the emptiness around them is causing them to feel paranoid. They're stuck in an endless cycle of trying to find themselves, but they don't know how. The chorus talks about how the singer doesn't know what they want from someone else, but that person seems to know what they want from them. They feel like they're being suffocated and are unable to escape.
The second verse describes how the singer sometimes likes to ignore their own feelings because they get overwhelmed by them. They worry that they'll never be able to achieve their goals and wonder what will happen if they fail. They refer to the "window" as a metaphor for how they view their life - it's both a blessing and a curse because they can see the beauty in the world, but they're also constantly reminded of their own shortcomings. They encourage the listener to find their own way in life, while they continue to travel their own path. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer still looking for love but continuing to move forward regardless of the obstacles in their way.
