I'll Be Waiting
Bliss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you take all of my power
I'll be around here waiting for your soul
I'd treat it well along with your memories
Its the only thing you haven't sold

'Cause you can't and you won't be around here when I lose control

Save all that's left over
Maybe then you'd realize what you had
Oh its not much at least it was something
Its the only thing you'll never have

You can't and you won't be around here when I lose control
'Cause I'm right you're wrong this is not the ending to my song

I try to erase the past its always been grim haunting me
I choose not to believe in ghosts or what they say

You can't you won't be around here when I lose control




'Cause I'm right you're wrong this is not the ending to my song
This is not the ending to my song

Overall Meaning

The song "I'll Be Waiting" by Bliss is about a person who has been hurt by someone they loved deeply. The lyrics suggest that the person who hurt them took away all the power they had over their own life. However, they still love this person and will be waiting for their return, hoping that they can save what is left of their soul and memories. The person who hurt them will never have the only thing they didn't sell or lose: the love, care, and tenderness given to them by the person who was hurt.


The lyrics also reflect the idea that the person who hurt the singer won't be there when they lose control. This can be interpreted in two ways. Firstly, they won't be there to witness the pain and hurt that the singer is going through because they have moved on with their own life. Secondly, they won't be there physically because the singer has taken control of their own life and cut them out of it.


The line "This is not the ending to my song" represents the singer's strength and resilience. The person who hurt them may have caused them pain, but it is not over. This person won't have the final word or the last say in what happens to the singer. The singer is in charge of their own life and they will continue to live it on their own terms.
