Boarding Lounges
Windmill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where will you go?
Boarding Lounges are go!
Gates close, escalators climb
Gates close, escalators climb
Gates close, escalators climb
Owe it to you
I don't want you
You don't want me
Strange enough, i think i need you to stay.
The lyrics of Windmill's song "Boarding Lounges" contains a sense of escapism and a feeling of being stuck in a situation. The first line, "If you leave, where will you go?" portrays a fear of being left alone and the unknown possibilities that may arise from leaving. This fear leads to a longing for the boarding lounges, which can be interpreted as a place where one can escape from the present reality and start anew. The repetition of "Boarding Lounges are go!" reinforces this desire for escapism.
The next lines, "Gates close, escalators climb" express a sense of finality and inevitability. The gates are closing, and the escalators are climbing, symbolizing the start of a journey and the departure from a current situation. These lines can also be interpreted as a metaphor for time, where time never stops and life is constantly moving forward.
The chorus, "I owe it to you, owe it to you" could be referring to a debt that needs to be repaid. It could also be interpreted as an acknowledgement of the past and the moments shared with the person leaving, which gives further context for the sense of loss and fear in the first line.
The final lines, "I don't want you, you don't want me, strange enough I think I need you to stay," creates a paradoxical feeling of both wanting and not wanting someone. It illustrates the complexity of human emotions and relationships, where even in a situation of conflict or separation, there may be an underlying need for the other person to stay.
Overall, "Boarding Lounges" explores themes of fear, escapism, finality, debt, and complex human emotions.
