Window Lyrics

Cover art for Window lyrics by Fiona Apple

To me, it seems to be about illusions, or the loss of illusion. In the beginning, the line about 'as he went on and on, it wasn't the outside world I could see' seems to mean that the person is trying to convince her of something, influence her vision. Something is blocking her clear perception of the world or situation. She breaks the window to see the truth.
