Good Seats at a Funeral
Eternal Waiting: Embracing Life's Unpredictable Journey
Lyrics
I guess I'm gonna watch it fall
The speaker anticipates witnessing something collapse or fail.
Yeah crash and burn
They expect a dramatic failure or downfall to occur.
Nobody can stop it now
There's a belief that nothing can prevent this failure from happening.
I'm just waiting my turn
The speaker is patiently waiting for their own chance or moment.
I guess I'm half way home
They feel they're halfway through a journey or a process.
At least I hope that's how it goes
Expressing hope that they are at the midpoint, progressing as expected.
Maybe I'll close my eyes
Considering shutting off from reality or the situation.
Instead of stayin' on my toes
Opting for avoiding alertness and being prepared.
I can't wait here forever
Repeatedly expressing impatience about waiting.
I can't wait here forever
-I can't wait here forever
-There ain't no good seats at a funeral
Suggesting that no perspective at a funeral is enjoyable or comforting.
Nobody really wants to go home alone
People generally dislike leaving a funeral alone.
Like a unicorn on a starry night
Comparing something rare and magical to a unique moment.
The best damn smoke is always
Quality or valuable experiences often come with challenges.
The stuff that lights
Things that bring pleasure often have difficult beginnings.
I can't wait here forever
Reiterating the speaker's frustration with waiting.
I can't wait here forever
-I can't wait here forever
-There ain't no good seats at a funeral
Emphasizing the lack of any positive or comfortable perspective at a funeral.
Don't sell me a good deal
Rejecting the idea of being persuaded by false promises or deals.
Yeah lets just be real
Advocating for honesty and authenticity instead of pretense.
Back n' forth on the end line
Referring to indecisiveness or uncertainty in a situation.
Maybe just make up your mind
Suggesting a need for resolution or a final decision.
Maybe we should be thankful
Proposing gratitude for the time one has.
For all of our time
This line is empty.
I can't wait here forever
Continued frustration with waiting and impatience.
I can't wait here forever
-I can't wait here forever
-I can't wait here forever
-I can't wait here forever
-I can't wait here forever
Reiteration of impatience and the inability to wait indefinitely.
