Waiting For You
Black Heaven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night is dark and shapeless
I can hear the angels sing
I taste your breath on my skin
Or was it just the wind
And when I close my eyes
You stand here next to me
But I know this is not
Reality


I try to embrace
An untiring faith
And all that I do
Is waiting for you
(I’m waiting for you)


the night is deep and silent
and when the clouds disperse
my hope and all my love
fulfil the universe
I linger in the coldness
Dream of another time




Where we walk through the darkness
Your hand in mine

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Black Heaven's song Waiting for You paint a vivid, almost cinematic image of a dark and shapeless night. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which appears to be about waiting for someone who may never come. The line, "I can hear the angels sing" suggests that there is a spiritual, almost otherworldly quality to this waiting - the person waiting may be seeking guidance or connection from a higher power. The following line, "I taste your breath on my skin or was it just the wind" is intriguing because it's unclear whether the person waiting is imagining or experiencing the presence of the person they are waiting for. This ambiguity continues in the next set of lines, where the person imagines their loved one standing next to them but knows that it's not reality.


These lines are a testament to the power of waiting and the strength of hope. The person waiting appears to have an "untiring faith" that their loved one will eventually arrive, and this hope sustains them throughout the long, dark night. The line, "I linger in the coldness, dream of another time, where we walk through the darkness, your hand in mine" suggests that this hope is based on memories of happier times, when the two people were together and holding hands. Overall, the lyrics of Waiting for You are deeply emotional and evocative, and capture the pain and longing of waiting for someone who may never return.


Line by Line Meaning

The night is dark and shapeless
The night is a mystery and unknown


I can hear the angels sing
There is a sense of something greater and divine present


I taste your breath on my skin
There is a memory of intimacy and closeness


Or was it just the wind
It could just be my imagination or hope


And when I close my eyes
In my mind, I can visualize you


You stand here next to me
You are a constant presence in my thoughts


But I know this is not
I am aware that this is just my imagination


Reality
And not the actual present


I try to embrace
I make an effort to hold onto


An untiring faith
An unwavering belief


And all that I do
Everything I work for


Is waiting for you
Is for the possibility of being with you


I’m waiting for you
Because my heart is set on you
