I Can't Wait
Embracing Destiny: Rodrigo Amarante's Evocative Tale in 'I Can't Wait'
Lyrics
I can't wait
Anticipation and eagerness for something.
Serenading hope a song for idle hands
Expressing hope through a song for those with nothing to do.
Warm enough to make you sleep until it burns
Warmth capable of inducing sleep until it becomes uncomfortable.
It's a flameless pyre
Describing a fire without flames, possibly alluding to a passion or desire.
When it breathes awake with the wind in turn
When the described fire becomes active with the influence of the wind.
I don't believe in fate
Expressing disbelief in predetermined destiny.
I respect the fire in dreams that wake
Showing admiration for the intensity in dreams that awaken.
Our hearts beat as one
Emphasizing unity through synchronized heartbeats.
That old dream of ours
Referring to a shared dream from the past.
To be free is to belong
Defining freedom as a sense of belonging.
I can't wait
Reiteration of the anticipation expressed in line 1.
While parading robes are out to quite a dance
Describing a lively and elaborate dance performed in grand attire.
Cold enough to make you freeze before it hurts
Coldness capable of causing discomfort before actual pain sets in.
In all heartless ire
Describing a relentless and harsh anger without compassion.
There's a boy afraid to be left alone
Highlighting the vulnerability of a boy who fears isolation.
I won't rely on faith
Expressing a lack of reliance on blind faith.
I reject the choir of mirrored praise
Rejecting the approval from a mirrored choir, possibly referring to superficial praise.
Our hearts beat as one
Reiterating unity through synchronized heartbeats.
That old dream of ours
Recalling a shared dream mentioned earlier.
To be free is to belong
Reaffirming the idea that true freedom comes from a sense of belonging.
So don't wait on above
Advising against waiting for divine intervention.
And don't blame on below
Discouraging blaming external forces for circumstances.
Is it chance when you stand?
Pondering whether standing in a situation is a matter of chance.
