Through the Window
Student Rick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll have this feeling in my throat
it's the feeling that I know I miss you
and I can't let it show
breathe in breathe out
I'm losing all I know
breathe in breathe out
woah, losing all I know
seasons change as I look out the window
trading memories I know
thinking of the things I left behind me
miles away from all I know...
x2
breathe in breathe out
I'm losing all I know
breathe in breathe out
I'm losing all I know
The lyrics to Student Rick's song Through the Window are melancholic and introspective. The singer seems to be experiencing a sense of longing and emptiness as he contends with being separated from a loved one during summertime. The opening lines highlight this feeling - 'Summertime when I can't wake to you, I'll have this feeling in my throat, it's the feeling that I know I miss you, and I can't let it show'. The singer is aware that he is missing someone very intensely, but he chooses not to reveal it, perhaps because he doesn't want to seem vulnerable or exposed.
The chorus of the song - 'breathe in breathe out, I'm losing all I know' - is a powerful statement about the process of change and growth. The singer, in some ways, seems to be struggling with the idea of losing what he knows, even as he begins to acknowledge that change is inevitable. Seasons change, as he looks out the window, but he is still trading memories and thinking of the things he left behind. The repetition of the chorus serves to reinforce the sense of inevitability - both of the passage of time and the emotional changes that come with it.
In many ways, Through the Window is a deeply introspective song that captures the transitional nature of life. The singer is struggling to come to terms with the changes happening around him, including the changes in himself, and the song is a testament to the ongoing struggle that comes with the process of growing up and learning to let go.
