Window Paine Lyrics
Shadows stream around my heart
Say what you're gonna say
Do what you're gonna do
Yeah start today
Start today
Shadows scream around my heart
Stripped down to the bone?
Life ain't living on your own
All alone
I think this is about a person who constantly gets told to do whatever the other person wants them to, regardless of the person's protests.
Maybe the greatest song on Gish in my opinion. The lyrics aren't the songs strongest side, but the rest of it is great.
Well, window pane is a form of distribution of LSD. I always thought was somehow part of the meaning of this song. I remember reading that Billy was into acid during the period of time that Gish was recorded..
Oh yeah, this song has a lot of influence from "Warpigs" by Black Sabbath.
Are those lyrics definitely correct? I've always thought it went:
"Life aint living On your own When you're all alone"
Me too.
Me too.
Annoying how you reply to your own posts. At least wait for someone to post what they think. I know it's been four years, but it's pretty stupid.

When i first started listening to Gish, this song stuck out the most. The solo part at the end when the drums are building up faster and faster always reminded me of Stranglehold from Ted Nugent.
I dont think any of the songs on gish are "ABOUT" lsd, but they all have influences from the mindstate of lsd. This song is no doubt one of them
Perhaps about LSD. Thought it more about living with regret.
@xmakesherflyx here 10 and a half years later to say i agree with you. regret sums it up perfectly.

This is possibly the best song on Gish - live it sounded awesome.
I thought it could be about someone who has done something they never wanted to do and there was a big conciquience and now they just wanna get it over with.
