Waiting Game
Golden Hues of Anticipation: Eliza Shaddad's Waiting Game
Lyrics
I’m a woman golden brown
I embrace my identity as a woman with a warm, golden-brown complexion.
Watch my hair unwind
My hair is relaxing and unfolding, symbolizing a sense of ease and openness.
Careless colours pooling in your mind
Vivid and carefree colors are blending in your thoughts or imagination.
Falling for my fate
I am surrendering to my destiny or the course of events.
I don’t want to hesitate
I am determined not to delay or overthink my actions.
So I ask around about you, I speak your name
Curious about you, I inquire and mention your name to others.
And in my heart I play a waiting game
In my emotions, I engage in a patient and hopeful period of waiting.
And at the alter of my love I sit and pray
I am metaphorically sitting at the altar, earnestly praying for love.
Until the air is filled with morning light and radio waves
Waiting for the dawn, anticipating the day and communication through radio waves.
Oh will today be the day?
Expressing uncertainty and hopefulness about whether today will bring a change.
I’m a woman golden brown
Reiteration of being a woman with a warm, golden-brown complexion.
Dressed in lace and white
Dressed in pure white lace, suggesting innocence or purity.
Pressed up to my window pane tonight
Looking out my window, perhaps in anticipation or contemplation.
Searching for my fate
Actively seeking my destiny or purpose in life.
I don’t want to hesitate
Reaffirming the determination not to hesitate in making decisions.
So I ask around about you, I speak your name
Continuing to inquire about you and speak your name to others.
And in my heart I play a waiting game
Engaging in the waiting game within my heart and emotions.
And at the alter of my love I sit and pray
Persistently praying for love and a positive change in my life.
Until the air is filled with morning light and radio waves
Waiting for a new day to be filled with light and communication.
Oh will today be the day?
Repeating the uncertainty and hopefulness about the arrival of change.
I lie still
Lying still, possibly in a state of anticipation or contemplation.
What a sweet thrill
Experiencing a delightful sensation or excitement.
To be here and know to meet you soon
Awareness of the imminent meeting, savoring the anticipation.
The light breeze is a warm tease from the moon
A gentle breeze serves as a teasing and comforting gesture from the moon.
So I ask around about you, I speak your name
Continuing to inquire about you and speak your name.
And in my heart I play a waiting game
Persisting in the waiting game within my heart and emotions.
And at the alter of my love I sit and pray
Reiterating the earnest prayer for love and positive change.
Until the air is filled with morning light and radio waves
Awaiting the arrival of a new day filled with light and communication.
Oh will today be the day?
Repeating the uncertainty and hopefulness about the arrival of change.
Oh will today be the day?
Expressing the lingering question of whether today will bring the awaited change.
