The Window
Hinayana Lyrics

Shining like the sunset
Radiating brilliance like the sun setting on the horizon.

Boundless eternity
An infinite stretch of time that knows no end.

Refractions of a lifetime
A representation of a person's existence in different forms and variations.

Time can never be
Time is an abstract entity that can never be captured or fully comprehended by human beings.

Staring at the silence
Gazing into a profound stillness that is free from any noise and disturbance.

Staring back at me
The silence seems to be alive and looking back at the singer.

Glowing like a fire
Burning with an intense brightness that resembles the light of a flame.

In a cold reality
Despite its warmth, the singer's inner light shines in a world that can be harsh and unforgiving.

But the dreaming never ends
The singer will always have dreams and aspirations that will continue to evolve and push them forward in life.

And the lights, they choose to follow
The lights in the singer's life take on a life of their own and seem to lead them in a certain direction.

The will of my spirit
The singer's inner strength and resilience that drives them to keep going forward.

And the sound of crashing waves
The crashing of the waves symbolizes the hardships in life that can wear a person down but also help them grow stronger.

Against my soul
The struggles in life can affect a person on a deep, emotional level that can impact them long after the struggle is over.

Eyes cut wide open
Seeing things with clear eyes and an open mind.

To see the light
To fully understand and grasp the beauty and meaning behind something.

Passing through
Moving through a space or time period.

The window
A metaphorical symbol for perceiving and understanding the world around us.

And as the light may blind you
Sometimes things that are beautiful and bright can be overwhelming and even blinding to our senses.

I still see
Despite the challenges, the singer is still able to see the world with clarity and purpose.

And as your heart beats dead inside
When someone becomes emotionally numb and feels very little, if anything, inside.

I still feel
The singer is still able to feel emotions and connect with their senses, even when it seems impossible or difficult.

The pain of a million years
The cumulative, deep-seated pain that can build over time from many different experiences.

Before the gods let go
Refers to a moment in history or mythology when the gods released control of the earth or allowed humans to have more agency and freedom.

I finally see
After a long period of searching and seeking, the singer finally understands something important or meaningful.

The other side
Something or somewhere that is beyond our current understanding or experience.

What lies beyond
What mysteries or secrets are waiting for us on the other side of the unknown.

But for how long
Wondering how much time is left before something changes or ends.

How long
An echo of the previous line, expressing a sense of uncertainty or urgency about the future.
