Lyrics
There's a knock at my window
Someone is knocking at the speaker's window.
As the cool May breeze runs through
The atmosphere is described as a cool May breeze passing through.
A knock at my window
Repetition of the knocking at the window.
A face I never knew
A stranger's face is revealed through the window.
There's a knock at my window
Repeated knocking at the window.
I didn't have a clue
The speaker was unaware of the impending encounter.
A knock at my window
Reiteration of the knocking at the window.
The damage this would do
Anticipation of negative consequences from this encounter.
I look outside and to my surprise
The speaker checks outside and finds nothing.
Not a creature was there nor a heart to spare
The absence of any living being is emphasized.
But the wind did it whisper
The wind speaks, possibly metaphorically, asking for the speaker's identity.
It asked for my name
The wind inquires about the speaker's name.
Head starts to blister
The speaker experiences discomfort or unease.
And nothing feels the same
A sense of profound change or disruption is expressed.
There's a knock at my window
Repetition of the knocking, suggesting persistence or recurrence.
As the cool May breeze runs through
Restatement of the pleasant May breeze.
A knock at my window
Another appearance of the unfamiliar face at the window.
A face I never knew
Reiteration of the speaker's lack of familiarity with the face.
There's a knock at my window
Continued knocking, still catching the speaker off guard.
I didn't have a clue
The speaker remains clueless about the situation.
A knock at my window
Repetition of the knocking with a suggestion of impending harm.
The damage this would do
Emphasis on potential negative consequences of the encounter.
The wind overtook
The wind takes control, overpowering the speaker's breath and gaze.
My breath and my look
The speaker thought of the wind as a friend, but it leads to negative consequences.
Thought the wind was my friend
Reflection on the deception of the wind.
Now I'm better off dead
The speaker expresses a sense of despair or regret.
And the face in my mirror
The speaker struggles to recognize their own reflection in the mirror.
Hardly recognize
A diminished self-awareness or identity crisis is conveyed.
Feelings no clearer
Emotional confusion is described, with falsehoods dominating thoughts.
Keep feeding my head lies
The speaker acknowledges the influence of false thoughts on their mind.
There's a knock at my window
Repetition of the knocking, indicating persistence or inevitability.
As the cool May breeze runs through
Recurrence of the pleasant May breeze.
A knock at my window
Reiteration of the mysterious knocking.
A face I never knew
Continued encounter with the unfamiliar face at the window.
There's a knock at my window
Repetition of the speaker's lack of understanding.
I didn't have a clue
Reiteration of the speaker's cluelessness about the situation.
A knock at my window
Persisting knocking at the window with potential harm implied.
The damage this would do
Emphasis on the anticipated damage from the ongoing encounter.
