Hence He Waits
Lament of Solitude: Unveiling the Inner Struggles in 'Hence He Waits'
Lyrics
A young man is sad, but he can not cry
A young man is experiencing sadness but is unable to express it through tears.
He's chained with ideas and a promise so dear
He feels constrained by certain ideologies and a significant commitment that holds great value to him.
If the young man is tired, he goes for a drink
When feeling fatigued or weary, he seeks solace in alcohol.
lives up to his feelings with a whiskey for healing
He tries to align his emotions by consuming whiskey as a means of healing.
"I rarely fall" - he swore on us all
He has vowed not to frequently succumb to emotional vulnerability.
Unsure of the aim of this unstable claim
He's uncertain about the purpose of this emotionally fragile assertion.
What was romance in the morning, has turned into wolves overnight
A previously romantic situation has turned into something menacing and aggressive overnight.
Remembers a feeling, ideal and appealing
Recollections of an ideal, captivating emotion linger in his mind.
Memories they fade and claim a nice shade
Memories gradually diminish but hold a pleasant essence.
People have people, they're filled with delight
Other people seem content and joyful, contrasting with his isolated and bored state.
But the young man's alone, he's bored to the bone
Despite others' happiness, he remains alone and profoundly uninterested.
Some entered his life, then left, full of rage
Individuals entered his life but departed with strong anger or hostility.
Must be like her, exactly like her
He seeks someone who resembles a past lover, indicating a longing or fixation.
What was romance in the morning, has turned into wolves overnight
Similar to line 7, a recurring reminder of a romantic scenario turning menacing and threatening.
He feels like not caring, lays hands on no darling
He feels apathetic towards showing affection and refrains from pursuing any intimate relationships.
Must be like her, exactly like her
Repetition of line 13, emphasizing the fixation on finding someone similar to the past lover.
The young see man is scared, He walks all alone
The young man is filled with fear, walking a solitary path.
Exactly like her, exactly like her
A reiterated desire for someone reminiscent of a former partner.
But the young man has patience and a mind of his own
Despite his loneliness, he possesses patience and independence of thought.
Exactly like her, exactly like her
Restating the desire to find someone resembling his past love.
