Wait for Me
Determination Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Old man sunshine listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it and I'll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me he will care
I'm certain it's the final curtain
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
It's all bananas

They're writing songs of love but not for me
A lucky star's above but not for me
With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play could guarantee

I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me

I was a fool to fall and get that way




Hi-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Determination's song Wait For Me are a representation of heartbreak and the difficulties one goes through in trying to move on from a love that wasn't meant to be. The first stanza of the song is a direct address to Old Man Sunshine and Beatrice Fairfax, who are both symbols of positivity and hope. However, the singer asserts that they do not believe in these things and cannot be fooled by them. They do not want to hear from anyone who believes in fate, love or destiny, as they see these as empty promises. The second stanza is a reflection on this sentiment, as the singer highlights their own experience of love not being for them. They have found more struggles and pain than joy in their romantic life, and they feel like a fool for having fallen for someone who was not meant to be theirs.


The lyrics are a poignant representation of the idea that sometimes love is just not meant to be, no matter how much we want it to. They speak to the complex emotions and confusion that often come with heartbreak, and they are sure to resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the pain of a broken heart. Through his lyrics, the songwriter encourages listeners to hold onto hope and perseverance, even in the face of adversity and disappointment.

Royalty - Egzod & Maestro Chives and FT. NEONI
Say I'm cold- hearted
But I'm just getting started
Got my eyes on the target
Now, now
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Till the battles won
Till Kingdom come
Ohh, ohh, ohh
I'll never run
Best to give me your loyalty
Cause I'm taking the world you see
They'll be calling me, calling me
They'll be calling me Royalty
Best to give me your loyalty
Cause I'm talking the world you see They'll be calling me, calling me Royalty
They'll be calling me Royalty
They say I'm dangerous cause I broke all the cages
No I won't sit and take it
Now, now
They left me for dead, I guess They'll never learn
Everytime I break there's more pain to burn
They'll never, never, never learn
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Till the battles won
Till kingdom come
Ohh, ohh, ohh
I'll never run
Best give me your loyalty
Cause I'm taking the world you see
They'll be calling me, calling me, They'll be calling me Royalty
Best to give your loyalty
Cause I'm taking the world you see They'll be calling me, calling me , They'll be calling me Royalty
They'll be calling me Royalty
They'll be calling me Royalty
They'll be calling me Royalty...

Summer in the hills
Those hazy days i do remenber
We were running still
Had the whole world at out feet
Watching seasons change
Our roads were lined with adventure
Moutains in the way
Couldn't keep us from the sea
Here we stand, open arms
This is home where we are
Ever strong in the world that we made
I still hear you in the breeze
See your shadows in the trees
Holding on memories never change
