Coal in Your Window
Skye Wallace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I whipped it from the back, yeah
It's been seven nights since I could hold you tight and I
I can't wait another second
Oh, they are gonna find us out, girl
Oh, they are gonna find us, no, no, no
Ooh, oh, they are gonna find us out, girl
Stick to the shadows
When you're coming down to meet me, yeah
I'll be in near the boiler
And I'll lock and throw away the key!
Oh, they are gonna find us out, girl
Oh, they are gonna find us, no, no, no
Ooh, oh, they are gonna find us out, girl
So meet me in the back, girl!
I've been starved for you, baby
So sneak as fast as you can
I've got fever, and you're the only cure
I am burning up, man!
Oh, they are gonna find us out, girl
Oh, they are gonna find us, no, no, no
Ooh, oh, they are gonna find us out, girl
So meet me in the back, girl!
Oh, they are gonna find us out, girl
Oh, they are gonna find us, no, no, no
Ooh oh, they are gonna find us out, girl
So meet me in the back, girl!
The song "Coal in Your Window" by Skye Wallace describes an illicit rendezvous between two people who are desperate to be with each other. The singer has been away from their love for seven long nights and cannot wait any longer, thus placing a coal in their window as a signal to come meet them quickly. Although they are aware that they are risking being caught, they decide to meet in secret. They plan to meet near the boiler, with the singer promising to lock and throw away the key. The singer is passionate and feverish, with their love for the other person being the only cure for their longing. They know they are taking a risk, but cannot help themselves.
The lyrics of this song suggest that the relationship is taboo, and meeting in secret is the only way they can be together. They have to be careful and hide in the shadows to avoid getting caught. This adds a sense of urgency and danger to the situation, making the relationship more exciting and intense. However, the relationship is also fragile, and any misstep could cause everything to crumble.
Overall, "Coal in Your Window" is a song that captures the intensity, longing, and risks involved in an illicit relationship.
