This is one of my favourite songs lyrically.
He feels like his life has no direction...
The window symbolises his old life, old ideas. He's breaking his old life and taking "another way out of here".
Similar idea to the Bruce Cockburn lyrics that Bono quotes in later years : "I'm gonna kick the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight".
The quote from Jesus surely points to new spiritual direction.
