Window
Shook Twins feat. The Bucky Walters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get around
All the places, All the places, All the places, All the places we'd go
in my row boat
They'll be things to eat, they'll be things to read, they'll be songs to sing
In my row boat
If I only had a tower
All the things, all the things, all the things, all the things we'd see
From my tower
So hurry so hurry so hurry so hurry so hurry
It's lovely, over here
If i only had a window
A window to the sixties
All the people, all the people, all the people, all the people we'd meet
Through the window
All the acid, all the acid, all the acid, all the acid, we'd eat
Through the window
If I only had a rowboat
If I only had a tower (a tower in my pocket)
If I only had a window (a window to the sixties)
And you'd come with me
The lyrics of “Window” by Shook Twins feat. The Bucky Walters paint a picture of whimsy and escapism, fueled by imagination and the desire for adventure. The song starts with the idea of a rowboat, a small vessel that can take you to places that are unreachable by larger boats or by land. The lyrics suggest that in this rowboat, there would be things to eat, things to read, and songs to sing. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the simple pleasures in life and the importance of finding joy in the journey rather than focusing solely on the destination.
The second verse introduces the idea of a tower in your pocket, which would allow you to see all kinds of things from a different perspective. The sense of urgency in the repeated “so hurry” suggests that the world is a vast and exciting place, and there is not a moment to waste in exploring it. The last verse brings in the idea of a window to the sixties, through which the singer can see all the people they would meet and all the acid they would consume. This is a nostalgic and idealized view of the past, perhaps suggesting that the singer feels disconnected from the current world and is longing for a simpler, more carefree time.
Overall, “Window” is a dreamy and poetic song that encourages listeners to embrace their imagination and seek out new experiences. It suggests that the world is full of wonder and that we should cherish every moment and every opportunity for adventure.
