Waiting
Eternal Wait: Unveiling the Depths of Patience in Signe Marie Rustad's 'Waiting'
Lyrics
Waiting
Expressing a state of anticipation or expectation.
Something fell into my lap
Referring to an unexpected event or situation.
Is it the right color
Questioning if the occurrence is appropriate or fitting.
The right size
Questioning if it meets the specified criteria.
Or am I going to have to send it back
Contemplating the possibility of rejecting or returning the situation.
Waiting
Reiteration of the state of waiting.
Would you look at that
Expressing surprise or realization about the situation.
I let it die I let if fly
Reflecting on a missed opportunity or a neglected situation.
I let it pass on right through me
Allowing an opportunity or moment to pass without taking action.
Can't ever say that it knew me
Feeling disconnected from the situation, suggesting a lack of recognition.
Dry mouth
Describing physical sensations, possibly stress or anxiety.
Sanded eyes
Indicating tired or strained eyes, possibly from emotional exhaustion.
Desert heart
Metaphorically describing a heart as a barren and desolate place.
A little sprinkled water
Suggesting a small effort won't resolve the emotional emptiness.
Is not going to end this drought
Expressing that a minor attempt won't overcome a significant emotional drought.
One bucket alone will just tease the dry well
Metaphorically describing attempts to remedy emotional emptiness.
A little oil in the cracks
Describing a temporary fix that won't last.
Then it's straight back to hell
Anticipating a return to a difficult emotional state.
And here I am
Presenting oneself as a person who can bring change or relief.
The rainmaker
Describing the role of bringing rain, symbolizing positive change.
The sun shining
Contrasting positive imagery with the notion of faking or pretending.
The faker
Highlighting a contradiction in the presented image.
Yes here I am
Repeating the self-presentation with a different set of contrasting imagery.
The wind howling
Describing a contrasting and tumultuous situation.
I'm the dog crawling
Metaphorically portraying oneself as vulnerable or degraded.
It comes from all over
Describing the origin of change or influence.
Doing its best
Indicating a sincere effort to provide relief or comfort.
To give a worried mind
Expressing the intention to ease a troubled mind.
A little peace and rest
Recognizing the limitations of providing comfort and peace.
But comfort and passion
Acknowledging that genuine emotional connection is elusive.
Is offered in vain
Suggesting that attempts at solace are futile or unreciprocated.
Now I'm waiting again
Reiterating the theme of waiting, possibly for resolution or change.
