This is pretty much the only song that I feel like was absolutely ruined in the transition from demo version to album version. I miss the bells and spookiness of the original.
What I see in this foto is packaged brains in a green plastic bag but I may be wrong. Just connected the "Extraordinary machine" to the brain concept =D
Her boyfriend cheated on her and loves someone else and she didn't realize it until he told her. She was looking at her boyfriend through the eyes of love. But the pane was dirty and her pain from his deceit is dirty also. "Better that I break the window than him, or her (the other woman) or me."
@Sperado29 what a fuckin douche bag he was. I can't imagine anyone hurting Fiona. How could they? Most men who would surely love to be faithful to Fiona could line up around the Rocky mountains. And back again. Count me among the first in line.
@Sperado29 WRONG! THE REAL STORY WAS THAT she was fighting with someone and she sisnt want too so looked out the dirty window but didnt break it cuz that would have escalated the fight. T_T
i think being in that relationship clouded her mind and seperated her from reality, so she had to "break the window" by dumping him to not forget herself, or what she "had to say"
"Better that I break the window, than forget what I had to say, or miss what I should see". I wonder what it is she needs to see so badly? on a metaphorical basis, of course.
My first impression of it is that she needs to see the truth, which seems like the truth about who she's dealing with, his flaws and things, their relationship. The window is like the fantasy that you look through when you idealize people. The window could also just be her connection to him, or her way of seeing him.
I hope that I made sense... or that I even said something useful... lol.
OH !! ESTA CANCION ES HERMOSA!
CUANDO LA ESCUCHO SIENTO UNA SENSACION QUE NO SUELO TENER

Sometimes a dirty window is in the way and the only way to see clearly is to break the window.

True. It could or couldn't. My friend, in a rage, broke a window. I've done similar. I'm going to have to dedicate this one to him. :p

Good way of seeing a metaphor in it. The window we see through needs to be broken sometimes. :)
