Little Window

FINNEAS's song 'Little Window' delves into the complexities of mental health and the struggle to maintain a facade of normalcy. The 'little window' serves as a metaphor for a small, often overlooked source of light and hope in the darkness. This window provides 'all the info' to keep someone grounded, yet it also highlights the isolation and the constant battle within one's mind. The repeated question, 'Honey, what's on your mind?' underscores the overwhelming nature of these thoughts, which are present 'all the time.'

The imagery of 'birds with bloody feathers' and 'tears in your eyes' paints a vivid picture of pain and suffering. These lines suggest a sense of helplessness and the inability to escape one's own mental turmoil. Despite the external appearance of a 'nice day' and a 'cloudless sky,' the internal struggle remains, as indicated by the line, 'And you're still alive, but you don't look that way.' This juxtaposition between outward appearances and inner reality is a central theme of the song.

The song also touches on the idea of self-reflection and the search for solace. The 'little window' that 'shines on your face' and the suggestion to 'buy yourself a halo' imply a need for self-care and finding light within oneself. However, the window also 'looks back at you,' indicating that self-reflection can be both illuminating and confronting. FINNEAS's poignant lyrics and haunting melody create a powerful narrative about the ongoing struggle with mental health and the importance of acknowledging and addressing it.
