Window
ley line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you came in
In between the floor boards
Underneath the door
Like the Wind
A draft slips by
Every time it rains outside
Left me choking on a heavy sky
I don’t want to go back to sleep now
I just want to push the sun around
The moon she backs away from me
Slowing the days down
I remember how the breathe again
Looking back at the place where my reflection sank
There’s a path that has been beaten down
From every time we’ve circled round the lake
The driftwood floats by
To a corner of the sky
The wind pushes every life
Remember when I met you there for a while
The lyrics of "Window" by Ley Line portray a sense of openness and vulnerability. The singer opens up a window, figuratively and literally, inviting someone into their life. This person, symbolized by the wind, enters through the floor boards and underneath the door, emphasizing a quiet and gentle presence. The wind and its subtle movements are used as metaphors for the fragile and fleeting nature of connections and relationships.
The first verse describes the effect of this new presence. As the wind slips in, the singer experiences a draft that occurs every time it rains outside. This evokes a feeling of being connected to the external world, as if the rain is a physical manifestation of emotions permeating their surroundings. The humid summer nights add to the intensity of these emotions, leaving the singer feeling suffocated under a heavy sky.
The chorus reflects the desire to stay awake and in the moment, rather than retreating into sleep. There is a longing to have control over time and to prolong the connection, represented by the desire to "push the sun around" and slow the passing of days. The moon, symbolizing a sense of distance or withdrawal, seems to move away, creating a sense of separation and longing.
The second verse reflects on memories and the passage of time. The act of breathing again implies a feeling of relief and renewal, and the reflection sinking indicates a sense of introspection and self-discovery. The beaten path around the lake suggests the repeated cycle of encounters and interactions, potentially hinting at a relationship that has been built and tested over time.
Overall, "Window" captures the delicate and transient nature of connections, portraying the desire to hold onto meaningful moments and the struggle to navigate the ebb and flow of relationships.

I metaphorically opened my heart and allowed you to enter my life
And you came in
You accepted my invitation and became a part of my world

Our connection is hidden and subtle, existing in the unseen spaces
Underneath the door
Our bond is present even in the smallest cracks and openings
Like the Wind
Just like the wind, our presence is intangible yet powerful
A draft slips by
A slight disturbance passes through, reminding me of our presence
Every time it rains outside
During times of external turmoil, our connection becomes more apparent
The humid summer nights here
In this atmosphere of warmth and closeness
Left me choking on a heavy sky
I feel overwhelmed by the weight of our emotions and the intensity of our relationship

I want to stay awake and fully experience this connection
I just want to push the sun around
I desire to have control over time, to prolong our moments together

Time seems to stretch in order to savor every moment with you
I remember how to breathe again
You remind me of the essential things in life, bringing back a sense of peace
Looking back at the place where my reflection sank
Reflecting on the past and the moments where I was deeply connected with my true self
There’s a path that has been beaten down
A well-traveled path has been created by us, symbolizing the recurring moments of connection
From every time we’ve circled round the lake
Throughout our journey together, we have consistently found ourselves circling around this significant location
The driftwood floats by
Various aspects of life pass by, transient and ever-changing
To a corner of the sky
They journey towards a different dimension, reaching beyond the boundaries of our reality
The wind pushes every life
The force of the wind influences and shapes the experiences of all living beings
Remember when I met you there for a while
Recalling the significant time we spent together in that special place
