Window
Christian Besa Wright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bear my head, my hand up high
Peace be still, I haven't held it for a while
Like a kid, I sit and cry
I can't say goodbye

I thought it would feel so old
Looking out from my childhood bedroom window
Outlines change
Is it still home?
It doesn't feel so
Until I leave the fold

In a dream, I spoke to you
Haven't heard your point of view in several blue moons
Talk's the same, cliches are doomed
Don't think I missed you
Until I leave so soon

I can't figure out, should I stay?
Split up into parts, meet halfway
Pieces never fit, can't be okay
I should learn to hold my own weight

(Till I say
That I thank
Ma just like
Yesterday
I can't stay
Find a way
Out the deeper end)





This city looks so bright, from the window

Overall Meaning

In Christian Besa Wright's song "Window," the lyrics reflect a sense of longing and questioning one's sense of home and belonging. The opening lines showcase a plea for peace and a desire to hold onto something for a while longer, as the singer feels vulnerable and emotional like a child who can't bear to say goodbye. The line "I thought it would feel so old, looking out from my childhood bedroom window" suggests the singer's expectation that returning to their familiar surroundings would bring a sense of comfort, only to find that things have changed and it no longer feels like home. This sentiment is further emphasized in the line "Outlines change, is it still home? It doesn't feel so until I leave the fold," indicating that the singer feels the need to break free from the familiar in order to truly understand and appreciate it.


The second verse introduces a dream sequence where the singer converses with someone they haven't heard from in a long time. The line "Talk's the same, cliches are doomed, don't think I missed you until I leave so soon" suggests that the singer realizes the limitations of empty pleasantries and surface-level conversations. It is only when they are about to depart that they truly feel the absence of this person and the depth of their connection.


Overall, "Window" explores themes of nostalgia, fleeting moments, and the constant search for a sense of belonging. It highlights the bittersweet experience of returning home, realizing the changes that have taken place, reconnecting with loved ones, and the importance of taking the time to appreciate and understand one's roots before moving forward.
