El Otro Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The little preety light
I think
This is you
All the kisses
Coming from the light
Wake up me!
Come
All the kisses
Coming from the light
Wake up me!
Come
My window
Come
Is open for you
Showme...
The lyrics to the song "Window" by El Otro Yo seem to express a longing for a lost love or a significant other who may be far away. The singer looks out their window and sees a pretty light, which they believe represents their loved one. The kisses which they feel emanating from the light seem to be a reminder of the intimacy and connection that they once shared. The singer calls out to their loved one to come to them, to show them heaven and to awaken them from their slumber. The window which is open represents an invitation to his lost love to come back to them.
The lyrics are simple, but powerful, evocatively capturing the mix of longing and hope which is characteristic of love's longing. The song is sung in a plaintive tone, with the singer's voice giving voice to the sorrow and frustration felt by someone who is separated from their loved one. Ultimately, the song emphasizes the importance of being close to the people who matter most, living in the present moment, and not taking these precious connections for granted.
