Waiting
Bethany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm waiting for someone I don't know, until, you show
How will I, still learn how to recognize
You among these many eyes
I guess, I'll know, by then
I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for you now.
I'm waiting for you. I hope you don't get lost somehow
Do you feel, the same way? Is it real?
The questions keep coming back, never gone, 'til I know, you're the one
We should stay, let silence come into play
It's a thrill to be caught between these days, while the truth, awaits.
I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for you now.
I'm waiting for you. I hope you don't get lost somehow
I'm waiting for the day, that you will find your way
Back here tonight, I've been thinking about.
Where or when or why or how?
Back here tonight, I've been thinking again.
Back here tonight, am I alone again?
Should I waste my time just thinking?
Guess it's up to your hands
I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for you now.
I'm waiting for you. I hope you don't get lost somehow
I'm waiting for the day, that you will find your way
Back to me, back to me
The song "Waiting" by Bethany speaks about the feeling of waiting for someone special, someone who hasn't shown up yet. The track starts with the loss of confidence and the fear of not being able to recognize this special person among the many people around. Bethany uses metaphoric language to describe how much she wants to find the one, and how her heart is open to welcoming this person. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm waiting for you," which intensifies the feeling of longing and hope that her special someone will finally show up.
The second verse goes deeper into the feeling of uncertainty that comes with waiting. It raises the question of whether this person feels the same way and if it is real. These doubts keep coming back, but the silence between these thoughts creates a sense of calmness and thrill in the waiting. The bridge speaks about Bethany's constant thoughts of finding this person, and how every moment of waiting feels like a waste of time. Despite this feeling, she leaves it up to destiny's hands to bring them together.
The song has a slow and relaxing melody, which complements the lyrics that carry an emotional weight. The use of metaphors adds layers to the lyrics making it relatable to anyone who has experienced the fear and uncertainty of waiting for someone special.
