The Window
Throne of Chaos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I left it open just for you
Something wrong
I hear it now
I see it in your eyes
I can feel it deep inside
Mary Lou keeps telling me that everything alright
Maybe she doesn't realize
And climbs outside into the cool night air
It seems she doesn't even care
And every time I close my window
I remember this, that final kiss
Her shadow on the wall
I hate those city lights that stare into my room
They know my pain, led her astray
And still I hear their call
The lyrics of "The Window" by Throne of Chaos describe a poignant scene of a lost love. On a Sunday night, the singer's former lover climbs in through the window of his room. The singer had left it open for her, indicating that he still cares for her even though something is wrong. He can feel that something is off from the look in her eyes and the way she feels inside. Despite this, Mary Lou, a mutual friend, assures the singer that everything is okay. The woman eventually decides to leave through the window, seemingly not caring about the relationship the two of them once had.
The singer is left with the memories of the final kiss, which he sees as a symbol of the end of their relationship. The city lights outside his window know his pain and seemingly mock him with their shining presence. The lyrics paint a picture of heartbreak and betrayal, where the singer is left to bear the emotional burden alone.
