Lyrics

She said I'm so sick of these times

Expressing frustration with the current state of affairs or circumstances.

Nothing ever really changes anymore

Conveying a sense of stagnation, emphasizing a lack of real change.

It's just like infinite days

Describing the feeling of endless, repetitive days.

I said are you out of your mind? It's all constantly rearranging

Challenging the sanity of accepting constant rearrangement as a norm.

We're on a wild ride taking its sweet ass time getting to where it's going

Metaphorically portraying life as a slow, unpredictable journey.

And you better strap yourself in, cause

Encouraging readiness for unpredictable events, using a metaphorical strap-in analogy.


You gon' wait the long wait (That's right)

Repetition emphasizing the inevitability of enduring a prolonged waiting period.

You gon' wait the long wait (It's old and it's true)

-

You gon' wait the long wait (I know, I know)

-

And I hear you man, it takes its toll on you

Empathizing with the emotional toll of waiting, acknowledging its impact.

You spend all that time playing catch up just to fall way behind

Highlighting the struggle to catch up in life, resulting in falling behind despite efforts.

But take a breath, spend some time within

Encouraging self-reflection and finding solace within oneself.

It's always the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning

Philosophical perspective on the cyclical nature of beginnings and endings.

There ain't nothing in between

Stating a binary view of life, with nothing in between beginnings and endings.


So buckle up, cause

Issuing a directive to prepare for a challenging or lengthy period ahead.


You gonna wait the long wait (I ain't playing here)

Reiteration of the inevitability of enduring a prolonged waiting period, emphasizing patience.

You gonna wait the long wait (It's alright)

-

You gonna wait the long wait (Be patient, it's a matter of fact)

-

You gonna wait the long wait (Be patient, it's a matter of time)

-

You gonna wait the long wait (That's right)

-

You gonna wait the long wait (I know)

-

You gonna wait the long wait (You better strap yourself in)

-

You gonna wait the long wait (I ain't got nothing but time to waste)

-

You gonna wait the long wait (So buckle up)

Reinforcing the need to be mentally prepared for the extended waiting time.
