After releasing some LP's on Sub Pop, the band superstitiously changed the name to Elevator Through, released an EP on murderecords and by 1999 shortened the name to simply Elevator. The latest Elevator records have been released by BLUEFOG recordings and the band's own Great Beyond Recordings.

Elevator To Hell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the new view of the blue and the truth
Shooting stars fall through the window
And all the chills
Coldest window of them all
Horror in the sky sweeps through window
Curtains of purple and green
In a frame dividing the sea
North view that praises the south
New thoughts from my mouth
My mouth
The lyrics of Window by Elevator To Hell depict the singer peering through a window, transfixed by the awe-inspiring view they see outside. The blue sky and the truth of life are apparent to them, and they watch as shooting stars fall through the window, eliciting chills and excitement. However, the singer's euphoria is short-lived as the coldest window of all - the window of horror - appears before them. The sky turns dark, and curtains of purple and green dance ominously, dividing the sea and signaling danger.
Despite these ominous signs, the singer finds beauty in the view from the window. The North view speaks to them, praising the South, and prompts new thoughts to shape in their mind, thoughts that must be vocalized. Through the window, the singer sees the world in a new light, full of wonder and fear, beauty and horror, and is inspired to share these insights with the world through their own voice.
Overall, the lyrics of Window by Elevator To Hell explore the dichotomy of life's experiences, that even amidst the horrors, there is still beauty to be found, and that it's through voice and expression that one can truly connect with the world.

I'm looking through the window
Observing the world from a distance
And the new view of the blue and the truth
A fresh perspective of reality
Shooting stars fall through the window
Moments of hope and wonder can enter unexpectedly
And all the chills
Feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation
In my mind
Emotional response to the external world
Coldest window of them all
The viewpoint can be harsh and unforgiving
Horror in the sky sweeps through window
Realizing the darker aspects of existence
Curtains of purple and green
The beauty of nature can still be appreciated amidst turmoil
In a frame dividing the sea
A boundary between the known and unknown
North view that praises the south
Acknowledging the value of opposing perspectives
New thoughts from my mouth
Inspired to think and speak differently
My mouth
The power of expression and assertion of self

such a great band... they used to have some decent shows on much music back then... now and then you could find some good stuff on mucheast, the wedge, or power hour/30
Paul Campbell
the best hardest-to-find album, in my opinion
