Windowpane Lyrics

Cover art for Windowpane lyrics by Opeth

I can see why this song might bring people to the conclusion that it's about child abuse, but the first impression I got from it is about a dead soul in pain about the fact that he can see and hear everything that is going on, but nobody can see or hear him. Nobody notices him. The soul is very lonely and sad about this fact.
