‘Winter Window’, the second song on Aerynn’s debut album ‘See In The Dark’, produced by Mark Winterburn, is a view into the vulnerable experience of being trapped in a psychologically harmful situation, and the irony of foregoing the risk of the unknown to return to the familiar dangers in our comfort zone.
Aerynn's honest lyrics and grunge-tinged vocals on Winter Window ensures survivors know they are not alone, while the unusual groove and groundhog-day strings are insight into the mental state in such situations.
Lyrics
Winter window watching over fields of broken glass,
Waiting for the day the wind would come and carry me away.
Oh, panes keeping rain safe from me;
Whole worlds locked inside, so thirsty;
If I had my way, only shards of shattered glass would remain; And I’d risk all the edges to climb in again.
Forehead pressed to foggy looking glass; Raining again how long can this last?
Broken meditation on rhythms of complication; Liquid prism of
Panes keeping rain safe from me;
Whole worlds locked inside, so thirsty;
If I had my way, only shards of shattered glass would remain; And I’d risk all the edges to climb in again.
Winter window watching over fields of broken glass,
Waiting for the day the wind would come and carry me away.
