Envy
Digital Daggers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's behind that window
And I will be on the inside
Looking out at the lonely night
And I will be by your side
We will hang the christmas lights
Get lost in better times
Feel my heart start bursting with envy
'Cause I'm still in the dark
Feel my heart start bursting with envy
'Cause I'm still in the dark
Someday maybe I will learn
The comfort of strangers
And I won't feel the winter's bite
Looking out at the lonely night
'Cause I will be by your side
We will hang the Christmas lights
Get lost in better times
If wishes came true
I'd be in there with you
Feel my heart start bursting with envy
'Cause I'm still in the dark
Feel my heart start bursting with envy
'Cause I'm still in the dark
Feel my heart start bursting with envy
'Cause I'm still in the dark
Feel my heart start bursting with envy
'Cause I'm still in the dark
The lyrics to Digital Daggers' song "Envy" convey the feeling of longing for something that seems just out of reach. The singer wishes to be on the inside, looking out at the world instead of being stuck in the darkness. The metaphorical window represents the barrier between the singer and their desired reality. The idea of hanging Christmas lights and getting lost in better times represents a longing for a brighter future, even if it resides only in the singer's imagination.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the envy the singer feels, underscoring the idea that they are still in the dark, unable to achieve their desire. The second verse shifts slightly, as the singer acknowledges the potential for comfort in strangers and how it might alleviate the loneliness they feel. However, they still long to be with the person on the other side of the window. The song is a poignant commentary on the human experience of longing for that which seems unattainable.

Someday maybe I will know
One day, it’s possible that I’ll understand the truth
What's behind that window
I’ll find out what’s on the other side of that window
And I will be on the inside
I'll be where you are
Looking out at the lonely night
Seeing the loneliness outside
And I will be by your side
Being with you
We will hang the christmas lights
Together we will decorate for Christmas
Get lost in better times
We will reminisce about better moments in our lives
If only in my mind
Even if it's just in my own thoughts
Feel my heart start bursting with envy
My heart is aching with the emotion of envy
'Cause I'm still in the dark
Because I still don't know the truth or the reality of the situation
Someday maybe I will learn
I may someday come to understand or learn about something
The comfort of strangers
The feeling of being comfortable around strangers
And I won't feel the winter's bite
I won't feel the cold, harsh feelings of loneliness and isolation anymore
'Cause I will be by your side
Because you'll be with me
If wishes came true
If only my wishes could come true
I'd be in there with you
I would be there, next to you
Feel my heart start bursting with envy
My heart is overwhelmed with envy
'Cause I'm still in the dark
Because I'm still unsure about what's really going on
Feel my heart start bursting with envy
My envy is becoming too much to bear
'Cause I'm still in the dark
Because I still don't know the truth
