Waiting
Eternal Wait: Navigating Life's Turmoil in The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' 'Waiting'
Lyrics
Feeling sorrow
Expressing a sense of sadness or regret
For all the things you had to steal and borrow
Regretting actions of taking and borrowing
And bring back the days we had before tomorrow
Desiring to return to past days before an uncertain future
Relapse and then collapse into yourself once more
Experiencing a relapse and collapsing inward emotionally
Waiting for this life to change seems like it's takin' me forever
Impatiently waiting for a positive change in life
And I can't hold on this life is breakin' into the day
Feeling unable to endure, life breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's takin' me forever
Continuing to wait for life to change
And I can't hold on this life is breakin' into the day
Struggling to hold on as life disrupts the day
But I can't feel
Expressing emotional numbness or detachment
The doctor tells me to relax and stand still
Receiving advice from a doctor to relax and stay still
Please scratch me a new pill to quell my anger
Desiring medication to calm inner anger
Wish I could make her pull herself up off the floor
Wishing for the ability to help someone rise from a low point
Waiting for this life to change seems like it's takin' me forever
Waiting persistently for a prolonged change in life
And I can't hold on this life is breakin' into the day
Struggling to endure life breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's takin' me forever
Anticipating a change that feels delayed
And I can't hold on this life is breakin' into the day again
Unable to hold on as life disrupts the day once more
Into the day again
Repetition of the impact of life breaking into the day
Waiting for this life to change seems like it's takin' me forever
Continuing to endure a seemingly unending wait for change
And I can't hold on this life is breakin' into the day
Struggling with the ongoing disruption of life
This life is going to change seems like it's takin' me forever
Persistently waiting for a change that feels prolonged
And I can't hold on this life is breakin' into the day
Unable to hold on as life disrupts the day again
Take time to contemplate who you are and where you want to go
Encouraging self-reflection on identity and future goals
Take time to contemplate who you are and where you want to go
Reiteration of the importance of contemplating one's path
Into the day
Repetition of life breaking into the day
