Window
Quarter Inch Jack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got up this morning in the cool of the day
Saw the sky was broken and you've gone to stay
I said be gone
Stop listening to me
If there was another
Stick me till I bleed

I want to fly with you
All the things that hold me here will try
To free my fears and leave myself behind

I went to the window, looked out at the trees
Saw the wind was blowing, stirring the leaves
There was no one
To hear you scream
I would have saved you
But I turned to leave

I want to die with you
All the things that held me here have died




See my fears and bring yourself behind
Behind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Quarter Inch Jack's song "Window" tell the story of someone who wakes up to realize that their lover has left them. The first verse describes their feelings of rejection and anger towards the departed lover, believing that they should have stayed and listened to their requests. The second verse shows the regret and sorrow that comes with the realization that they could have saved their lover if they had only been there to help them. The chorus expresses the desire to join their lover in death, as they feel that the things that have tied them to this world are no longer worth holding onto.


The lyrics of "Window" evoke a sense of loneliness and despair, with the singer feeling lost and alone after losing their love. The imagery of the broken sky and the wind stirring the leaves creates a sense of melancholy and desolation, adding to the overall mood of the song. The repetition of the phrase "I want to" in the chorus emphasizes the singer's desire for release and escape from their pain.


Interestingly, Quarter Inch Jack is known for his unique blend of acoustic and electronic music styles, and "Window" showcases this combination beautifully with its acoustic guitar and synth-heavy instrumentals. The song was released on his EP "Ghost Dance" in 2020, which explores themes of loneliness, heartbreak, and the search for connection.

I woke up early in the morning when it was cool and refreshing outside


Saw the sky was broken and you've gone to stay
I looked at the sky and realized that you have left me for good


I said be gone
I shouted at you to leave my life forever


Stop listening to me
Don't pay attention to anything I say


If there was another
If there was someone else in your life


Stick me till I bleed
Hurt me as much as you want


I want to fly with you
I want to be free and live happily with you


All the things that hold me here will try
All the things that keep me from being with you will make it difficult for me to leave


To free my fears and leave myself behind
I want to overcome my fears and forget about myself to be with you


I went to the window, looked out at the trees
I walked to the window and observed the trees outside


Saw the wind was blowing, stirring the leaves
I noticed that the wind was strong and moving the leaves around


There was no one
No one was around to help


To hear you scream
Even if you screamed for help, nobody would hear it


I would have saved you
I would have rescued you from your troubles


But I turned to leave
But I chose not to help and walked away


I want to die with you
I want to die with you rather than live without you


All the things that held me here have died

See my fears and bring yourself behind
Look at my fears and help me overcome them to be with you


Behind
Behind all my fears, doubts, and concerns, I want to be with you
