Dirty Window Lyrics

Cover art for Dirty Window lyrics by Metallica

Actually, I think you guys are a little bit off. James seems to be singing a song about someone misjudging the world around them. Someone who believes they are the sane one and everyone else is crazy.

Projector - finding your own faults in others Protector - taking it upon yourself to parent the rest of the world Rejector - refusing to accept the truth of the world around you and inside Infector - being the one with the disease in a clean world Defector - refusing the way of the world around you

Drinking from the cup of denial - denying the truth, that you are the dirty one Judging the world from a throne - holding yourself above everyone else as better

The speaker even knows it but won't let himself see - "Am I who I think I am?"

Thats the whole idea of seeing his reflection differently than everyone else. That he is making himself perfect when everyone else can see he isn't.

This person is trying to assure themself of the lie they are telling. "this house is clean baby, this house is clean"

And trying to assert their position in charge. "I'm judge and I'm jury..." "My court is in session and I slam my gavel down" "I'm judging the world from my throne"

...that's one opinion, anyway...
