The Window
Course Of Nature Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I noble
Or am I a fake
Oh so fragile
But hard to break
With my back against the wall
Still I am falling
I can't find my way
I can't find my calling
Back in the day
Time is dissolving
The world standing still
While I am revolving

I'm all alone
Holding out my hand for you
To keep me from falling

I'm Crawling out the window
The Ground's so far away
I feel the ledge beneath me
As it crumbles
And falls away

All my dreams
That have not come true
Aspirations
That I had for you
With my back against the wall
I hear you calling
I can't find my wings
To keep me from falling
So I reach for your hand
But my fingers are slipping
Is this the end
Or just the beginning

I'm all alone
Holding out my hand for you
To keep me from falling

I'm crawling out the window
The ground's so far away
I feel the ledge beneath me
As it crumbles
And falls away
I'm crawling out the window
The ground's so far away
I'm falling into nothing
And no one
Can hear me scream

Let go of the lies you've held on to
Let go of the misery pain put you through
Let go of insecurities plaguing you
Let go
Let go
I know you want to

I'm crawling out the window
The ground's so far away
I feel the ledge beneath me
As it crumbles
And falls away





It falls away
It falls away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Course Of Nature's song The Window speak about the internal struggles of the singer, who questions whether they are a noble person or just a fake one. The singer admits to being fragile but also hard to break, all while feeling lost and unable to find their way or calling. They reflect on their past and how time seems to be dissolving before them, while the world around them remains still. The chorus talks about the singer's feeling of being alone and vulnerable, reaching out for someone's hand to keep them from falling, but feeling like there's no one there to save them. The repetition of "I'm crawling out the window, the ground's so far away" emphasizes the singer's feeling of being powerless and helpless in the face of their struggles.


The second verse talks about the singer's unfulfilled dreams and aspirations, all while they feel like their back is against the wall. They hear someone calling out to them, but they can't find their wings or the strength to keep themselves from falling. As they reach out for help, it feels like their fingers are slipping, and they wonder if this is the end or just the beginning of something new. The final section of the song is a call to let go of the negative thoughts and feelings that are plaguing the singer and causing them pain. The chorus repeats, with the addition of the phrase "falling into nothing" and "no one can hear me scream," conveying the idea that the singer is spiraling out of control and feels like they're at the mercy of their own thoughts and emotions.


Overall, The Window is a song that speaks about the internal struggles we all face at some point in our lives. The repetition of the chorus and the haunting melody make it a powerful reflection on the feeling of being lost and alone, even when surrounded by others.

Feeling alone and unsupported


Can hear me scream
Feeling like no one understands the pain and struggle


It falls away
Highlighting the inevitability of change and loss
