Window
City Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once it's clear then this will last forever
Isn't a blissful frenzy condemning night
Nor is it a pain or simply candles glow
Dawn's grey is the halflight long chased away

Having pressed the feeling through and through
This is mine, is mine because of you
No more cooling brow against the window pane
When the heavy mist has freed its rein

Having pressed the feeling through and through
This is mine, is mine because of you
A bird cries O but he laughed the rain
Wet my feathers too flying through this world





Flying through the world...

Overall Meaning

In City's song "Window," the lyrics explore the feeling of being complete and finding happiness. The opening line "Once it's clear then this will last forever" suggests a sense of clarity and certainty. It reflects the feeling of finding true love or happiness in life, and knowing that it is a permanent state of being. The following line "Isn't a blissful frenzy condemning night" may refer to how the excitement of new love can be overwhelming but also intimidating, and that genuine love should not come with fear or anxiety. The line "Nor is it a pain or simply candles glow" describes the idea of love being more than just a temporary relief from loneliness or a fleeting attraction.


The next stanza describes the arrival of dawn, which shatters any darkness that may have preceded it. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for hope or light which overcomes any darkness or hardship in life. "Having pressed the feeling through and through, this is mine, is mine because of you" expresses how the person has processed their feelings and how their love is true and theirs due to the other person. The line "No more cooling brow against the window pane, when the heavy mist has freed its rein" suggests that the person no longer experiences the pain of longing or waiting for someone to come into their life.


The final stanza speaks of a bird that cries out but finds joy in the rain. This reflects the idea that in life, there will always be challenges or difficulties, but one can still find joy and hope despite them. The line "Wet my feathers too, flying through this world" relates to the idea that we all experience life's ups and downs, but we can still soar through it all.

Isaiah 41:10
Reina-Valera 1960
10 Do not fear, for I am with you; do not faint, because I am your God that I strive for you; I will always help you, I will always support you with the right hand of my justice.

Romans 12:12
Reina-Valera 1960
12 joyful in hope; suffered in tribulation; constant in prayer;

Good evening young warriors of God, I had this feeling of sending you the verse that speaks about God giving us strength, and commands us to make an effort and be brave, let us not stop praying, even if we are tired, let us go seek God and be sincere, let us seek God not only when we feel good, but also when we are tired, for he is always there even when we are tired and is there to renew us, pray with faith and fervor that the next day, God will renew your strength, let us seek God right now, later we can repent for having the opportunity to look for him and not doing it, only he makes our hearts happy, of those who seek them, God rewards us looking for them, even tired
Matthew 24:13-14
Reina-Valera 1960
13 But he who perseveres to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world, as a witness to all nations; And then the end will come.

Hebrews 11:6
Reina-Valera 1960
6 But without faith it is impossible to please God; because it is necessary that he who approaches God believes that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. Because you formed my entrails; You made me in my mother's belly. I will praise you; for formidable, marvelous are your works; I am amazed, And my soul knows it very well. My body was not hidden from you, Well, I was formed in secret, And woven into the depths of the earth. My embryo saw your eyes, and in your book were written all those things that were later formed, without missing one of them. How precious are your thoughts, O God! How big is their properties! If I number them, they multiply more than sand; I wake up, and I am still with you.
Psalms 139:13-18 KJV
John 1: 12-14 Queen-Valera 1960 12 But to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave them the power to become children of God; 13 Which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And that Word was made flesh, and he dwelt among us (and we saw his glory, glory of him as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.

1 John 4: 8-10 Queen-Valera 1960 8 He who does not love, he has not known God; because God is love. 9 In this was shown the love of God toward us, in that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 In this is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

S. John 14:26-27 KJV
26 But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I have told you. 27 Peace I leave you, my peace I give you; I do not give it to you as the world gives it. Not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 14:13-14
Reina-Valera 1960
13 And whatever you ask the Father in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in my name, I will do it. When we are without Christ we feel frustrated, but when we decide that Christ dwells in our hearts, and we live for him DOING HIS WILL, not ours, we learn to rest in his promises, without concern, that we are going to dress, because while we are in the Kingdom of God working for him, God already supplies everything, there are more than 900 promises in the Bible that are for the children of God, if we accept it we have the right to the inheritance of God who is eternal life together with Christ, and inheritance and well-being and riches on earth as long as we live here, because we are passing through
2 Corinthians 5:15-19
Reina-Valera 1960
15 and he died for all, so that those who live no longer live for themselves, but for him who died and rose again for them.
1 John 2:17
Reina-Valera 1960
17 And the world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God remains forever.
Today I give you a choice between the blessing and the curse: blessing, if you obey the commandments that I, the Lord his God, command you to obey today.
(Deuteronomy 11:26-27)
So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; turn neither to the right nor to the left. Follow the path that the Lord your God has laid out for you, so that you may live, prosper, and enjoy long life in the land you are to possess.
(Deuteronomy 5:32-33)
If you obey the Lord your God, all these blessings will come upon you and will always accompany you...
(Deuteronomy 28:2)

WITHOUT CHRIST IN OUR LIVES WE HAVE NO DIRECTION OR SENSE, WE CANNOT SAY WE HAVE JESUS AND FEEL WITHOUT DIRECTION, MEANS THAT WE DO NOT REALLY HAVE HIM, BECAUSE CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, IN HIM THERE IS PLENITUDE OF JOY ONLY

Taurus (Stampede) poem #1, Interstate '76

Looking out the window of your room onto a wet rainy day

Main street under a slate grey afternoon sky

The light on your face is soft and dim under the lace curtain

And the streets are empty

In the distance, there is a flash and a rumble

Clouds sail the sky like giant wooden ships

On a blackened evergreen sea

Caped with foam

To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.
