The Window
J. Burd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are behind the window
You are behind the window
You are behind the window
You must be open door
저기 창문 너머엔 니가 보여
흐릿하게 나마 내 모습 비쳐
Oh 정말 외로워 보여 내 초라한 방안이
차가운 창문에 손을

올려봐도 닿을 수 없어
너의 점점 멀어지는 뒷모습 만 봐
Beyond that far
Beyond that far
Beyond that far
Beyond that far
Window Window (Window)
Window Window
Window Window (Window)
Window Window
앞이 보이지가 않아 oh no
뿌연 창문에 돌이킬 수 없는 너와 나를 그려
You will not come back, will not come back
저기 저 멀리 바라보고 있는 난 예에
아무리 그려봐도 보이지가 않아 oh 내일의 하늘이
너와 나의 사이엔 벽이 있는 것 같아
Beyond that far
Beyond that far
Beyond that far
Beyond that far
Window Window (Window)
Window Window

The Korean lyrics add another layer to the song, emphasizing the frustration and inability to grasp or reach the person beyond the window. The singer futilely raises their hand towards the cold window, unable to make contact with the person who is gradually moving further away. The repetition of "Beyond that far" suggests a growing distance and separation, leaving the singer feeling hopeless and lost.

Overall, "The Window" conveys the theme of unfulfilled longing, the yearning for a connection that seems out of reach, and a sense of isolation that intensifies with the inability to bridge the gap between two individuals.
