On October 18, 2017, Joji opened the pre-order page for In Tongues, confirming “Window” as the fourth track on the EP.

This upbeat song interpolates the chorus from Travis Scott’s breakout hit “Antidote.” This song implies suicide, as he says many things that imply death, mentioning topics like “sleep,” and speeding the car up. The ending mentions “ice cold,” which a body is found cold after death.

Window
Joji Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see nothing out the window, window
Nothing out the window
Watching all the leaves grow, leaves grow
Feels better in my dreams though, dreams though

And the sun will shine, no more
The sun will shine (antidote), no more
I've been holding on, too long
Holding on too

I know when the wind blows, wind blows
Feels better in my dreams though, dreams though
I just wanna sleep forever
Please just let me leave, forever

I don't need an antidote, antidote
I don't need an antidote, antidote
I don't need an antidote, forever
(Forever, forever)

We don't wanna drive slow, drive slow
Speed up with our eyes closed, eyes closed

Eyes closed, eyes closed




Head down, eyes closed
Ice cold, melt down

Overall Meaning

In Joji's song Window, he expresses a sense of solitude and disconnection from the world outside his window. He seems to be stuck in a rut, unable to find any joy in what he sees outside. He repeats the phrase "nothing out the window" and expresses a desire to escape into his dreams. He acknowledges that holding on for too long is not helping him, but he still can't seem to break free.


Joji's lyrics take on a more desperate tone in the latter part of the song, where he seems to be pleading for release. He no longer needs an "antidote" to feel better, perhaps suggesting that he has given up hope for any external cure. He just wants to sleep forever and leave this world behind. As the song winds down, the final lines suggest a sense of surrender, as he lets go and allows himself to "melt down".


Overall, Window is a song that captures the feeling of being trapped and disconnected. Joji articulates the desire to escape into his own mind and the difficulty of breaking free from the rut he's in. The lyrics may be interpreted as an expression of depression or simply a reflection on the challenges of finding meaning in a world that often seems bleak and empty.
