Wait No More
Embracing Cosmic Yearning: 'Wait No More' by Bruce Cockburn
Lyrics
Wild things are prowling, storm winds are howling tonight
Wild and unpredictable forces are active, and there is a sense of unrest in the atmosphere.
Everything's transforming into pure crystals of light
Everything is undergoing a profound transformation, turning into radiant and pure manifestations of light.
The heart is a mirror, it throws back the blaze of love
The heart is compared to a mirror reflecting the intense brilliance of love.
Bathed in that glow it's no secret what I'm thinking of
Immersed in the warmth of that love, the speaker's thoughts and desires are transparent and not hidden.
I want to wait no more
Expressing a desire to end the waiting and embrace action or change.
Wait no more
Repetition emphasizes the urgency of the desire to stop waiting.
Wait no more
Continuation of the urgency and determination to stop waiting.
Sipping wine with angels in this torch-lit tavern by the sea
Enjoying a tranquil moment with celestial beings in a well-lit tavern by the sea.
What does it take for what's locked up inside to be free?
Pondering the conditions required for internal liberation and freedom.
Fold me into you, you know where I'm dying to be
Expressing a longing to be intimately close, merged, or united with someone.
When my ship sets sail on that ocean of deep mystery
Anticipating a journey into the unknown, described as the ocean of deep mystery.
I want to wait no more
Reiteration of the desire to end the waiting and take action.
Wait no more
Emphasizing the impatience and determination to cease waiting.
Wait no more
Continuing the sense of urgency and decisiveness.
What does it take for the heart to explode into stars?
Pondering the conditions necessary for the heart to burst forth into celestial bodies, possibly symbolizing enlightenment.
One day we'll wake to remember how lovely we are
Anticipating a future realization of the inherent beauty within, awakening to self-appreciation.
Lightning's a kiss that lands hot on the loins of the sky
Describing lightning as a passionate and intense force that ignites the sky.
Something uncoils at the base of my spine and I cry
Sensing a powerful and emotional reaction, symbolized by something unraveling at the spine and leading to tears.
I want to wait no more
Reiteration of the desire to end the waiting and embrace action.
Wait no more
Expressing impatience and determination to stop waiting, reinforcing the urgency.
Wait no more
Continuing the theme of impatience and decisiveness, emphasizing the end of waiting.
