Halving The Fuse
Navigating Shadows: Vacant Stare's Halving The Fuse Meaning
Lyrics
In hard times we feel safe close to the sea
In hard times, the sea provides a sense of safety.
And now we need to be somewhere else but here

And I don't want to see your face again

We're waiting here
Waiting with anticipation or expectation.
We're waiting here
Reiteration of waiting with anticipation or expectation.
We wait in baited breath
Waiting anxiously.
Cause everything you do seems to fall short
Actions of the person being referred to consistently fall short.
With you by my side
Despite shortcomings, the person is still by the speaker's side.
We're killing time now
Passing time without a clear purpose.
Sometimes it's like halving the fuse

And I don't want to see your face again

We're waiting here

With you by my side
