Wait
Bears of Legend Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what did you see
When you found me lost in the deeps,
When you said things so carefully.
Hold it a second, take no decision.

Help me find me
Rest yourself here.

Don't it make your heart beating loud?
Don't it make your heart
Don't it make your heart beating loud?
Cause your touch, your touch...wait.

Show me all that you read
From the stories taking you here.
In this heartbreaking fairytale,
There's no tomorrow, only good mornings.

Help me find me
Rest yourself here.

Don't it make your heart beating loud?
Don't it make your heart
Don't it make your heart beating loud?
Cause your touch, your touch...wait.

And I believe you'll never say

"I would fight away the morning"
Every time you wake up and I wait. X 5

The lyrics to Bears of Legend's song Wait evoke a sense of confusion, uncertainty and fear mixed with hope and longing. The first verse asks the listener what they saw when they found the singer lost in the deeps. The phrase "hold it a second, take no decision" can be read as a plea to pause and not decide hastily. The second verse asks the listener to show the singer all that they read from the stories taking them on this journey, implying that they are lost in a fairytale. Despite the uncertainty, the chorus speaks of heartbeats and touch and waiting, which can be interpreted as a desire to hold on to what is real and to wait for something good to happen. The final lines of the song repeat the phrase "Every time you wake up and I wait" five times, perhaps symbolizing the cyclical nature of life and how the singer is waiting for the listener to be there for them each morning.

Overall, the lyrics to Wait can be seen as a cry for help and companionship in a time of loneliness and confusion. The fairytale imagery suggests a dreamlike state of mind, and the repeated use of the word "wait" highlights the sense of anticipation and longing for someone or something to guide the singer out of their predicament.
