They Wait For Us
Aerosonic & Denis Karpinsky Feat. Kate Louise Smith Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Even when a light fills a space
And even though the space is a hole
It all began with no one

And even though the night hurts so much
And even though the mourning is so low
It all began with no one

Hey when the light spells a name
All the people who were the ones you loved
They wait for you
Said and done
All the people before
As they reach for the harbour of a thought
They wait for us

Some people love
Some people die
Some people live in our hearts and minds
Some people stay
Some people change
Try to hold onto all that remains

Hey when the light spells a name
All the people who were the ones you loved
They wait for you
Said and done
All the people before

As the reach for the harbour of a thought
They wait for us

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "They Wait For Us" by Aerosonic & Denis Karpinsky Feat. Kate Louise Smith expresses the idea that even when people we love are no longer with us, their memory and influence continue to exist in our lives. The lyrics use contrasting imagery to convey this concept. The first stanza starts with "Even when a light fills a space," which is a positive visual, but then it adds, "And even though the space is a hole." This shows that while there may be light and joy around, there is still an emptiness that cannot be filled. But, the lyrics remind us that "It all began with no one." This means that we originate from nothing, but that doesn't diminish the profound impact that we can have on others.

The second stanza begins with "Even though the night hurts so much," which highlights how difficult it can be to cope with loss. It continues with "And even though the mourning is so low," bringing attention to the deep sadness that can accompany grief. However, the chorus provides hope as it affirms that "All the people who were the ones you loved, they wait for you." This means that those who have passed on are still watching and waiting for us, which can provide comfort and encouragement. The final lines, "As they reach for the harbor of a thought, they wait for us," suggest that our loved ones are not truly gone, but are simply waiting for us in another realm. The song encourages us to hold onto memories, honor those we have lost, and continue to live our lives with purpose and love.

Even when a light fills a space
Despite the illuminating light that brightens up a place

And even though the space is a hole
Although the area seems like a void without a goal

It all began with no one
The start of it all was nothingness, not born

And even though the night hurts so much
Despite the emotional pain that comes with the night's clutch

And even though the mourning is so low
Although the level of sadness is deep and slow

It all began with no one
The inception of existence started with none

Hey when the light spells a name
When the beam forms a word, a special fame

All the people who were the ones you loved
Those who you cherished and adored from above

They wait for you
They eagerly wait for you to join them too

Said and done
The past is over and it’s time to move on

All the people before
Those who have departed and are gone before
