Waiting for Today to Happen
Eternal Yearning: A Dreamer's Anthem by The Lightning Seeds
Lyrics
The usual dreams, the usual schemes
The typical dreams and plans that one usually has.
Same lost feelings, same bad day dreams
Experiencing the same feelings of loss and daydreams about a bad day.
Only unreal and delirious,
Feelings that are only imagined and unreal, possibly exaggerated and out of touch with reality.
Out of breath and out of luck
Feeling exhausted and unlucky.
[Sometimes] when I wake up slowly
At times, waking up slowly.
[Paralysed] by the fears within me
Feeling paralyzed by internal fears.
Waiting for today to happen
Anticipating or expecting something significant to occur today.
Waiting for a vague impression
Waiting for a vague and unclear impression or sign.
Waiting for today to happen
Continuing to wait for something important to happen today.
Waiting here with nothing but disaster
Remaining in a state of waiting with nothing but the anticipation of disaster.
[Nailed tight] in his bed forever
Metaphorically, being tightly confined or stuck in a challenging situation.
[Turn out the lights] tomorrow, whatever
Expressing a nonchalant attitude toward the future, suggesting a lack of concern for what will happen.
I'm so hung over with sleep
Feeling the effects of sleepiness and weariness.
All I want to do is dream and dream and dream
Desiring to engage in continuous dreaming, possibly as an escape from reality.
Just lie down and never leave
Expressing a desire to remain inactive and avoid facing the challenges of the day.
Put myself here at your knees
Symbolically placing oneself in a submissive or vulnerable position.
[Sometimes], when I wake up slowly
Similar to line 5, waking up slowly at times.
[Paralysed] by the fears within me
Experiencing a sense of paralysis due to inner fears, repeated from line 6.
Waiting for today to happen
Reiteration of the anticipation of something significant happening today.
Waiting for a vague impression
Continuing to wait for a vague and unclear impression or sign, repeated from line 8.
Waiting for today to happen
Repeating the expectation for something important to happen today.
Waiting here with nothing but disaster
Persisting in waiting with the anticipation of disaster, repeated from line 10.
[Nailed tight] in his bed forever
Metaphorically nailed tight in a challenging or restrictive situation, repeated from line 11.
[Turn out the lights] tomorrow, whatever
Symbolically expressing a nonchalant attitude toward the future, repeated from line 12.
