Windows
Embracing Change: A Sunset of New Attitude in Toro y Moi's 'Windows'
Lyrics
Oh yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement
Oh yeah
Reiteration of affirmation or agreement
I need a new attitude, with a frame of mind
Desire for a new perspective or mindset
Got a backseat view, with a pastel sunset
Observation of a passive, serene scene with a hint of sadness
And you still feel blue
Acknowledgment of lingering sadness despite the scenic view
Baby give me something, a new attitude
Request for a positive change in attitude from a significant other
Got me staring out my window
Expression of being lost in thought while looking out of a window
Watching shadows touch the light
Observation of shadows and light, possibly symbolizing contrasts in life
This is not fantasy
Clarification that the situation described is not imaginary
This is as real as me
Assertion that the situation is genuine and true to the speaker
I would not lie
Declaration of honesty and sincerity
It's a sign I just threw my cellphone
Symbolic action of discarding a cellphone, possibly representing detachment
Overstayed my welcome
Acknowledgment of having stayed longer than necessary
I think I could've left you standing there alone
Recognition that the speaker could have abandoned someone, possibly expressing regret
I think there's somethings that are better off unknown
Belief that some things are better left unknown or undisclosed
Got me staring out my window
Reiteration of being lost in thought while looking out of a window
Watching shadows touch the light
Repetition of observing shadows and light, reinforcing contrasts in life
I'm just trying to paint my picture as best I can
Expression of the speaker's attempt to convey their perspective through art
I got all this weight falling in my hands
Acknowledgment of the burden or responsibility the speaker carries
I don't wanna diss your love
Reluctance to criticize or undermine love
Man, I gotta let this go
Recognition of the need to release or move on from something
