Window Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm hanging barely by an inch, with a slip ill feel the pinch
This life is nothing more than just my fantasy

(I know that I) can't forget your perjury, you've even lost my sympathy
My Half-Life is not a way to live (Materialize)
We find autolatry, when we break outside the need (We realize)
As the color costs the light, the pain, the fix we breed
Pushing me further here until the end
In my shell you'll never see me bleeding out again

(Goodbye) I cant just see myself
(I tried) you're never there for help
(Denied) And through your alibi
"I dont have the time to sift through the maggots"
(Goodbye) you'll never live my hell
(I tried) you'll taste your lonely self
(Denied) And through the hollow cries
"I dont have the time to sift through the maggots"

Through the noose there shimmers light, burns black like pegmatite
This 3d blasphemy that i have come to live and die
my eyes see red and gold, the hollow self exposed, parasite like
Is this the way that even i had pictured me

Push a little further, forgetting who i am
In my shell, I'm never here lost inside again

(Goodbye) I cant just see myself
(I tried) you're never there for help
(Denied) And through your alibi
"I dont have the time to sift through the maggots"
(Goodbye) you'll never live my hell
(I tried) inside my seething shell
(Denied) And through the hollow cries
"I dont have the time to sift through the maggots"

Im here, goodbye, are you listening
I'm here, goodbye, no one's listening
I'm here, goodbye, no one's listening
I'm here, goodbye, no ones listening

(Goodbye) I cant just see myself
(I tried) you're never there for help
(Denied) And through your alibi
"I dont have the time to sift through the maggots"
(Goodbye) you'll never live my hell
(I tried) inside my seething shell




(Denied) And through the hollow cries
"I dont have the time to sift through the maggots"

Overall Meaning

The song "Window" by the band Window seems to explore themes of internal struggle, feeling trapped, and the frustration of not being understood or listened to by others. The lyrics convey a sense of isolation and a desire to break free from the constraints of a challenging reality.


In the first verse, the singer describes hanging on by a thread, feeling the pain if they were to slip. They acknowledge that their life is nothing more than their own fantasy, highlighting a disconnect between their inner world and the external reality they are living in. They also express frustration towards someone who has deceived them, losing their sympathy and leaving them feeling alone. The line "My Half-Life is not a way to live" suggests that they feel trapped in an unfulfilling existence. They mention the idea of autolatry, which is worship of oneself, suggesting that they are seeking validation and fulfillment from within rather than relying on external sources. However, they also recognize the negative consequences that come with this way of living, represented by the pain and dependence they experience.


The chorus emphasizes the sense of abandonment and disappointment they feel towards someone who is supposed to be there for them but isn't. The recurring phrase "I don't have the time to sift through the maggots" can be interpreted as a dismissal or refusal to engage with the negativity and toxic influences around them. The second verse continues to describe their struggle, using imagery of a noose and a shimmering light that burns like pegmatite, highlighting the conflicting emotions they experience. They question whether the way they are living matches the vision they had for themselves. The bridge amplifies the frustration and desperation, repeating the phrase "I'm here, goodbye, no one's listening," suggesting a feeling of being unheard and overlooked.


Overall, "Window" conveys a sense of inner turmoil, isolation, and the desire to escape from an unsatisfying reality. It explores themes of self-discovery, disillusionment, and the struggle to be understood and validated by others.

Living in a state of half-existence is not a fulfilling way to be.

As the color costs the light, the pain, the fix we breed

This distorted and sacrilegious existence in which I am trapped.


my eyes see red and gold, the hollow self exposed, parasite like
I see distorted colors, revealing my empty self and the parasitic nature within me.


Is this the way that even i had pictured me
Is this the self-image that I had envisioned for myself?


Push a little further, forgetting who i am
Pushing myself beyond my limits, losing sight of my true identity.


In my shell, I'm never here lost inside again
Retreating into my protective shell, where I can't get lost or hurt.


Im here, goodbye, are you listening
I'm present, but I'm saying goodbye, questioning if anyone is truly paying attention.


I'm here, goodbye, no one's listening
I exist, but my farewell goes unheard, ignored by everyone.
