Windows Forever
Playdate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can tell I've never been here before
'Cause it's real
Real (Ooh-Ooh)
I get busy just to walk through the door
Just to feel
Feel (Ooh-Ooh)

Ooh
Mary says it feels like paradise
Look into his eyes
Ooh
Promise not to turn off all the lights
Please don't close the blinds

Every other day
Walk my way
Walking by forever
Things that never change
Feeling strange and always tying
Knots up with my tongue
Later on
But the feelings never
Leave me with the sign
Behind my window forever

I've been waiting here for hours
Won't you tell me what's the deal?
Deal (Ooh-Ooh)
I'm forever picking flowers
Can't understand the appeal
(E-eal, ooh-ooh)

Ooh
Lose my train of thought, don't care if I
Don't recognize
You
Lose my train of thought, didn't realize
That you passed me by

Every other day
Walk my way
Walking by forever
Things that never change
Feeling strange and always tying
Knots up with my tongue
Later on
But the feelings never
Leave me with the sign
Behind my window forever

Windows forever
Windows forever

Overall Meaning

In Playdate's song Windows Forever, the opening lines suggest the feeling of being in a new place for the first time. The singer feels a sense of reality and genuineness in their surroundings. They admit to becoming busy just to enter the door and experience those feelings once again. The chorus implies a state of mind where the singer is watching Mary's eyes and feeling as though they are in paradise. They plead with Mary to keep the lights on and the blinds open. The singer is trying to capture and perpetuate a moment in time that feels perfect, while also acknowledging that nothing will ever change since these are just feelings residing within themselves.


As the song continues, the verses highlight the singer walking every other day and always tying knots up with their tongue as they attempt to communicate their feelings. The lyrics suggest that the singer is waiting for someone and that they have been there for hours. They want the other person to tell them what's going on, but they are forever picking flowers, trying to understand the appeal of waiting. The second chorus reinforces the idea that the singer loses themselves in their thoughts and doesn't recognize the person who passed them by. The song ends with a repetition of the phrase "Windows Forever."


Overall, the lyrics convey the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind, unable to properly express or understand their emotions. The singer is searching for a moment of perfection and trying to capture it forever, but they are stuck in their own head, unable to fully connect with reality.
