Aliceband Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too bad
This never changes anything goes
In the house with no windows
And when the lights go dark
Not off
They just lose their spark
And the rain beats down
That's when I hide this frown
Of upside down and overwhelming
I cry
Oh
I cry
For you have never looked at me that way
And then the lights come back
Too bad
Cause I can never see in a dark like that
And I'm fragile, condescending
Watch the sea come in
And out
Oh it never changes
I never break a rule unless its mending
Oh I watch you cry
You cry
Oh you cry
For her you've let your trust just slip away
Wait for me
It might
Be a while
But I love you if you understand
That everything I do I do for you
And every word I sing
I sing for you
You wait for me
For soon I will be with you
Oh all the birds will die
Yeah
They all will die yeah
We will die
And then we'll be together
We'll be together when we die
The song "Wait for Me" by AlicebanD expresses a sense of loneliness, loss, and regret. The opening lines "And then I walked away, too bad, this never changes anything goes, in the house with no windows" set the tone for the rest of the song. The persona in the song is trapped in a cycle of sadness and despair, unable to break free from it. They describe how the rain beats down and they hide their frown, feeling overwhelmed, and crying. They cry for someone who has never looked at them that way. The lights come back after going dark, but the persona cannot see in the dark. They feel fragile and condescending, and they watch the sea come in and out, which never changes. They never break a rule unless it's mending, indicating a sense of loyalty and dedication, and watch someone cry for a lost trust. They then tell the listener to wait for them, and they will be together when they die.
The lyrics are symbolic, and the persona's sense of detachment and distance from the world is captured by the image of the "house with no windows" and the inability to see in the dark. The rain beating down represents a sense of helplessness and inability to control one's own emotions, and the persona's fragile and condescending nature suggests a need for protection and a fear of being vulnerable. The refrain "Wait for me" conveys a sense of hope amidst the despair and sadness.

And then I walked away
I left the situation behind without resolving it
Too bad
It's unfortunate
This never changes anything goes
Nothing ever stays the same and everything is unpredictable
In the house with no windows
Being in a dark and hidden place where everything is uncertain
And when the lights go dark
When things become difficult or negative
Not off
Still present in the background
They just lose their spark
Things become less interesting and exciting
And the rain beats down
The challenges are pouring down
That's when I hide this frown
I try to mask my negative emotions
Of upside down and overwhelming
Feeling confused and weighed down
I cry
I express my sadness and pain
Oh
Expressing sentiment
For you have never looked at me that way
Feeling unappreciated or unloved
And then the lights come back
When things become easier or positive again
Cause I can never see in a dark like that
Struggling to navigate through a difficult situation
And I'm fragile, condescending
Still feeling vulnerable and protective
Watch the sea come in
Observing the powerful and never-ending nature of the sea
And out
The constant movement and rhythm
Oh it never changes
The cycle repeats itself
I never break a rule unless its mending
Only breaking the rules for the greater good
Oh I watch you cry
Seeing someone I care about in pain
You cry
Expressing the sadness of someone else
Oh you cry
Expressing the sadness of someone else
For her you've let your trust just slip away
Feeling hurt by someone's betrayal
Wait for me
Asking for patience and understanding
It might
There is a possibility
Be a while
It may take some time
But I love you if you understand
Affirming affection and requesting empathy
That everything I do I do for you
Making sacrifices for the sake of someone else
And every word I sing
Expressing emotions and thoughts through music
I sing for you
Dedicating the music to someone
You wait for me
Expecting someone to return
For soon I will be with you
Relaying the anticipation of being together
Oh all the birds will die
Expressing the fragility and mortality of life
Yeah
Affirming
They all will die yeah
Everything has an endpoint
We will die
Humans are included in that endpoint
And then we'll be together
Thinking about an afterlife, or the cycle of life and death
We'll be together when we die
Finding hope that things will work out in the end
