Lyrics
Wait until dawn
Waiting until dawn, anticipating a fresh start.
The streets will be cool and clean again
Expecting the streets to be cool and clean after a period of turmoil.
Then it's time to go downstairs
Preparing to descend or confront a situation.
And meet the man
Meeting a significant person, possibly influential or authoritative.
He'll be sitting' in a limo with a gun in his hand
Describing the person in a limo, suggesting power and danger.
You've been waiting' like this for years
Long period of anticipation and waiting.
Through all the laughter and the cloudy tears
Enduring both joy and sorrow throughout the waiting period.
Always standin' on a tightrope
Symbolizing a precarious and challenging situation.
Through a million little bands
Enduring numerous challenges and difficulties.
Always waitin' for redemption
Always hoping for redemption or salvation.
Now it's right at hand
Redemption is finally within reach.
You'll hear me tickin' like a tome bomb
Feeling pressure and readiness for a significant change.
Ready ready to explode
Being on the verge of a major transformation or eruption.
Too late to turn back now
Irreversible decision, too late to go back.
I've gone beyond overload
Having exceeded normal limits or capacity.
You'll hear me tickin' like a tome bomb
Continued pressure and readiness for a major event.
Ready ready to ignite
Prepared and ready to burst into action.
It's now or never, my darlin',
Urgency and finality, no turning back.
It's too late to turn back tonight
Highlighting the irreversible nature of the current moment.
Nothin' left to gain
No more to achieve, stuck in a repetitive cycle.
Just more of the same old thing again
Continuation of the same mundane and unfulfilling experiences.
Always runnin' round in circles
Repeating the same patterns without progress.
Always workin' for the man
Consistently working for an authority figure.
But tonight I'm breakin' out of here
Expressing a desire to break free from the current situation.
Tonight I'm going to make a stand
Determined to take a stand against the status quo.
I've never felt so alive
Feeling exceptionally alive and invigorated.
My heart is on fire and so is my mind
Intense emotions and a heightened state of consciousness.
Now it's time to downstairs
Returning downstairs, possibly to confront the influential figure.
And meet the man
Meeting the influential figure again.
Catch his look of confusion
Observing the confusion in the influential figure's expression.
When I take him by the hand
Taking control or asserting dominance over the influential figure.
He'll hear me tickin' like a time bomb
Continued pressure and readiness for a significant change.
