Waiting For You
Apathetiq Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you see me?
Are you looking right through?
What is real here
I'm still waiting for proof
I can feel this feel you slipping
I'll be right here I'll be waiting for you
All I want for you to be just what a mother should be
But all I've got wish you could see it hurts deep inside

Can you see me?
Are you looking right through
What is real here I'm still waiting for proof
I can feel this feel you slipping
I'll be right here I'll be waiting for you

Far too young to be this strong but I had no other choice.
You open up this lithium it keeps becoming worse

Can you see me?
Are you looking right through?
What is real here
I'm still waiting for proof
I can feel this feel you slipping
I'll be right here I'll be waiting for

All I ever wanted to be was no more
That's all wanted to be

Can you see me? (X3)
Are you looking right through
What is real here
I'm still waiting for proof
I can feel this feel you slipping
I'll be right here I'll be waiting for you
Waiting for you

I'll be waiting for you
Waiting for you

The lyrics of Apathetiq's song "Waiting For You" seem to express feelings of loneliness and abandonment. The lines "Can you see me? Are you looking right through?" suggest a sense of invisibility, a feeling of being unnoticed and unimportant to someone. The singer is waiting for proof of their worth, for some validation that they matter to the person they are addressing. The repeated lines "I'll be right here I'll be waiting for you" convey a sense of hope, an expectation that the person will come back and acknowledge the singer's presence.

The lyrics also touch on the theme of motherhood, with the line "All I want for you to be just what a mother should be". It suggests that the person the singer is addressing may be a mother figure who has failed to provide the love and care that the singer needed. The line "Far too young to be this strong but I had no other choice" suggests that the singer had to take on responsibilities and deal with difficult situations at a young age, possibly due to the absence or neglect of a parental figure.

Overall, the song seems to express a sense of pain and longing for connection, for someone to see and acknowledge the singer's worth and provide the support and love they need.
