Interesting what meaning can come out of lyrics.

Windows
And
I'm still
Looking out my window,
From here it looks so clear,
Out to where I'd be.
The light can be so bright,
Out to where I see.
And the air is less than care,
Out to where it's free...
From this torment and torture
The sky seems so blue,
But from this sand across the sea,
They are still far far away.
I play with the grains,
Only to let them slip between my fingers.
A drowning pool.
I'm just a fool.
There can be no satisfaction,
Until I come up to breath.
But I'm falling again.
From the ground it seems so low.
The height of heaven is just the mist.
Clear away these webs,
And I'm still
Looking out my window,
From here it looks so clear,
Out to where I'd be.
The light can be so bright,
Out to where I see.
And the air is less than care,
Out to where it's free...
From this torment and torture
Try to be the man of men,
But these monster got me gripped.
It's from outside I'd like to take a stand,
Break out from the mask to show my face.
The heart is hurting but it feels no pain.
Tears only whisper the truth,
And the smiles comforts the sad man.
Lift a brow and dance the dance,
No one watches.
No one cares.
But everyone notices.
It's on the other side of the coin,
That the bets are placed.
Let it fall.
Let me fall.
And I'm still
Looking out my window,
From here it looks so clear,
Out to where I'd be.
The light can be so bright,
Out to where I see.
And the air is less than care,
Out to where it's free...
From this torment and torture
Now nine to five
has no bars,
Confined to the pebble road.
Three snaps and the back breaks,
But on the fourth the world is clear.
From in here it's all wrong,
Only to stand on the other side of my window.
The clarity is in disguise.
Tomorrow, the light passes...
And to my window I stare
Only one side to the other.
I look back to look away...
My window.
My wall.
