The band released three albums: "Spring Session M" (1982), "Rhyme & Reason" (1984) and "Color in Your Life" (1986). The band split in 1986 and the band members moved on to other projects. Warren Cuccurullo became the guitarist for Duran Duran and Dale Bozzio and Patrick O'Hearn each pursued solo careers. Terry Bozzio toured as the drummer for several rock musicians, including Steve Vai, Dweezil Zappa and Jeff Beck and later formed his own solo band.
Warren, Dale and Terry reformed Missing Persons in 2001 and performed several concerts throughout the United States. Terry Bozzio left the band in late 2001, and the band continued until 2003.
Cuccurullo and Dale Bozzio reformed Missing Persons once again in 2011 for a reunion tour.
As of 2013, Cuccurullo is no longer touring with Missing Persons. According to Dale Bozzio at the Tiki Room show in Costa Mesa, CA, Warren is suing the band for the image on their Spring Session M album. Terry Bozzio has changed drastically in appearance with much longer hair, a different colour (it used to be black) when compared to the Terry Bozzio Official page on Facebook. The keyboard player currently touring with them is Michael T. Ross who has also played with Lita Ford and Angel.

Missing Persons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not wrong but it's just not right
Some hidden complications, fill me with hesiatation
and it gets so dark in here
I can't see through doubts and fears
Walled in by expectation, I need a deviation
Change in perspective, alternateive view
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
outside the world's so dangerous
It's hard to find someone to trust
Fills me with reservation deives me into hibernation
I watch what's going on
But I don't want to belong
Leave me in my introspection
Safely behind protection
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
looking through windows at the world
Looking through windows at the world
Safe behind windows from the world
Safe behind windows from the world
Watching my window world go by
Just watching my window world go by
Without my window who am I
Without my window who am I
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want
All I want is a window to look through
All I want
All I need is a window to look through
All I need
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
The lyrics to Missing Persons' song Windows reveal a deep sense of unease and disconnection with the world around the singer. They feel that something is off, and that there are hidden complications that make them hesitate and doubt themselves. The darkness they experience is both internal and external, as they struggle to see through their doubts and fears while also feeling walled in by the expectations of others.
In this state of isolation, the singer longs for a window to look through, a different perspective or view that could help them see things clearly and observe something new. They are tired of being hibernated, reserved, and introspective and want to be able to trust and connect with others. However, they are also afraid of the dangers and uncertainties of the outside world, which is why they feel safe behind their window.
The song is ultimately about the struggle to find a balance between introspection and engagement with the world, between caution and risk-taking, and between being protected and being vulnerable.

Something feels so strange tonight
I have a gut feeling that something is off
It's not wrong but it's just not right
There is nothing blatantly incorrect, but it feels unsettling
Some hidden complications, fill me with hesitation
There are underlying issues that make me unsure
and it gets so dark in here
My thoughts get clouded and unclear
I can't see through doubts and fears
Uncertainty and anxiety make it difficult to think rationally
Walled in by expectation, I need a deviation
Feeling trapped by societal norms, I crave something different
Change in perspective, alternateive view
I need a new way of seeing things to gain clarity
To help me see clearly, observe something new
I need to witness something outside of my usual experience to gain insight
All I want is a window to look through
I desire a new perspective or a glimpse into a different world
All I need is a window to look through
I require a fresh viewpoint to gain clarity
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
This is my main priority and focus right now
outside the world's so dangerous
The world beyond my immediate surroundings feels perilous
It's hard to find someone to trust
I struggle to confide in others due to distrust
Fills me with reservation, drives me into hibernation
These feelings make me hesitant and inclined to isolate myself
I watch what's going on
I am aware of my surroundings
But I don't want to belong
I am hesitant to fully engage or commit to anything or anyone
Leave me in my introspection
I prefer to be alone with my thoughts
Safely behind protection
I feel secure in my solitude
Looking through windows at the world
Observing the world from a distance
Safe behind windows from the world
Finding safety and comfort in being separated from the world
Watching my window world go by
Passively observing the world outside
Just watching my window world go by
Simply observing without any desire to take action
Without my window who am I
My sense of identity is tied to my desire for a new perspective
All I want
My primary desire
All I need
What I require to gain clarity and insight
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
This is my top priority and focus
