Still Waiting
Eager Anticipation Amidst Life's Transience
Lyrics
Hearts and stars and people waiting for their train to come
Anticipation and expectation represented by hearts, stars, and people waiting for a train.
Get ready though it's not the end
Despite challenges, prepare for what's to come; it's not the end.
Park the car and keep it running while they play the song
Symbolic action of keeping the car running while a song plays, suggesting readiness to move.
You have to get out in the end
An acknowledgment that eventually, one has to face and confront the situation.
Not enough to be there when you're waiting
Being physically present is insufficient; true connection requires more.
You're still waiting
Despite being present, the feeling of waiting persists.
I won't let you go, I'll still be at your door
A commitment to staying and supporting, not letting go during challenging times.
And I want to tell you right now I've been waiting
Expressing the duration of waiting, a declaration of patience and anticipation.
I'm still waiting
Reiteration of the ongoing waiting, maintaining resilience.
Even though we're not electric anymore
Despite a loss of intensity, the waiting persists even in a less vibrant state.
Collecting leaves in the pockets of your dungarees
Gathering memories, possibly metaphorical leaves, in the pockets of clothing.
You say you'll put them on display, one day
Plans to showcase collected memories at some point in the future.
I could tell by the way you ring your cycle bell
Understanding someone's day based on small actions, like ringing a cycle bell.
What kind of day you've had today
Reading emotional cues from observable behaviors.
Not enough to be there when you're waiting
Reiteration that mere presence is insufficient during waiting; a deeper connection is needed.
You're still waiting
Despite being present, the feeling of waiting endures.
I won't let you go, I'll still be at your door
Commitment to remain present and supportive, not letting go.
And I want to tell you right now I've been waiting
Reaffirming the duration of waiting, expressing the persistence of anticipation.
I'm still waiting,
Reiteration of ongoing waiting, maintaining steadfastness.
Even though we're not electric anymore
Despite a change in dynamics, waiting continues in a different form.
Pass, all things pass you by
Reflection on the transient nature of things, emphasizing the passing of time.
Just one chance, just one chance look up at the sky
A plea to seize opportunities, to look up and appreciate the fleeting moments.
A sunrise never lasts, a cloudburst comes so fast
Recognition that positive experiences are temporary, giving way to challenges.
All things pass
Reiteration of the inevitability of change and passing moments.
All things pass you by in time
Emphasis on the passage of time and experiences, underscoring their transient nature.
Not enough to be there when you're waiting
Highlighting the insufficiency of mere presence during waiting; deeper connection is essential.
You're still waiting
Despite being physically there, the feeling of waiting persists.
I won't let you go, I'll still be at your door
Commitment to remain present and supportive, resisting the urge to let go.
And I want to tell you right now I've been waiting
Expressing the duration of waiting, emphasizing the enduring nature of anticipation.
I'm still waiting
Reiteration of ongoing waiting, maintaining resilience.
Even though we're not electric anymore
Even though the dynamic has changed, waiting continues in a different manner.
