My Window
The Sheer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve been looking through my window
And the world was at my feet
I was trying to imagine
That this view was mine to keep
Don’t you want me to get closer today?

I’ve been looking through my window
Tiny people pass me by
A reflection of a person
In the corner of my eye
Don’t you want me to get closer today?

Chorus
Look into their eyes ooh don’t
Look into their eyes ooh no

I am looking through my window
All the faces feeling hurt
And the world looks so much smaller




Form my private universe
Don’t you want me to get closer today?

Overall Meaning

In The Sheer's song "My Window", the singer talks about looking through their window and feeling a sense of detachment from the world outside. They describe the view from their window as one where the "world was at my feet", but they also acknowledge that this view is not their own to keep. This is perhaps a metaphor for the fleeting nature of life and how we may never truly possess the things we desire.


As the song progresses, the singer observes the people passing by their window, describing them as "tiny people" and seeing only a "reflection" of them in the corner of their eye. This further emphasizes the sense of disconnection and distance they feel from the world outside. The chorus urges the listener to avoid looking into the eyes of these people, highlighting the fear and discomfort that can come with truly connecting with others.


Towards the end of the song, the singer acknowledges the pain they see in the faces of those outside their window, yet they still feel that their own world is separate and private. They ask if the listener wants them to get closer, but it is unclear whether they truly want to bridge the divide between themselves and the world outside.


Overall, the song portrays a sense of isolation and disconnection, even when surrounded by others. It raises questions about the nature of human connection and how we can overcome barriers to truly connect with those around us.
