Waiting on You
Yearning Echoes: The Unspoken Longing in 'Waiting on You' by The Trust Fund Kids
Lyrics
I get born, I get fed
I experience birth and receive nourishment
When you get lost within my head
When you delve into my thoughts
A table for two
Reference to a table for two, suggesting a shared experience
We just imitate our food
We merely replicate or mimic our sustenance
And the other night, I lost my mind
Recalling a recent moment of mental distress
I don't know why but I wasn't feeling fine
Expressing uncertainty about the cause of emotional unease
I don't think I'm gonna be okay
Doubtful about the prospect of being okay
'Cause I'm waiting on you, yeah, I'm waiting on you again
Anticipation and yearning for someone's presence, waiting on them
I want to atone
Desire for redemption or forgiveness
For a life never lived alone
Regret for a life lacking solitude
For pain turned into paintings
Transforming pain into artistic expression, possibly through paintings
When it's just another song to sing
Minimizing emotional pain by treating it as just another song
And the other night, I lost my mind
Reiteration of a recent mental breakdown
I don't know why but I wasn't feeling fine
Uncertainty about the cause of emotional discomfort
I don't think I'm gonna be okay
Expressing skepticism about future well-being
'Cause I'm waiting on you, yeah, I'm waiting on you again
Continued anticipation and waiting for someone
Waiting on you, waiting on you-ooh
Repeated emphasis on waiting for someone
Waiting on you, waiting on you-ooh
Repetition of the theme of waiting for someone
Waiting on you, she weighed in on you-ooh
Highlighting the weight of someone's influence on the waiting process
Waiting on you, he weighed in on you-ooh
Similar emphasis on the impact of another person on waiting
Waiting on you, they weighed in on you-ooh
Expanding the influence to a broader context, possibly societal
Waiting on you, waiting on you-ooh
Reiteration of the waiting theme
Waiting on you, yeah, I'm waiting on you again
Continued anticipation and waiting for someone
And the other night, I lost my mind
Recollection of another recent mental struggle
I don't know why but I wasn't feeling fine
Similar uncertainty about the cause of emotional distress
I don't think I'm gonna be okay
Expressing doubt about future emotional well-being
'Cause I'm waiting on you, yeah, I'm waiting on you again
Reiteration of the continued waiting for someone
