Long Wait
Dusky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Step by step we walk alone,
Step by step we find our way home
Too long my head's tired
Too long, you've found a place to hide

Reach inside and pull you out
Take you down pay or tomb
Play along it's my time
Cut it out, cut it out
Realise there's no way out
Cut it out, cut it out
Opened up and left to bleed out
Cut it out, leave it out
Yourself and let me breathe out
Cut it out just cut it out
Bring back the silence again
Silence again
Silence again

Reach inside and pull you out
Take you down pay or tomb
Play along it's my time
Cut it out, cut it out
Realise there's no way out
Cut it out, cut it out
Opened up and left to bleed out
Cut it out, leave it out
Yourself and let me breathe out
Cut it out just cut it out
Bring back the silence again
Silence again




Silence again
Silence again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dusky's song Long Wait talk about the journey of life and finding a way back home. The opening lines "Step by step we walk alone, Step by step we find our way home" depict the struggle that one goes through in life, taking one step at a time to reach their destination, which, in this case, is home. The refrain of "Silence again" possibly talks about the peace that one feels after reaching their desired destination.


The following lines "Too long my head's tired, Too long, you've found a place to hide" may refer to one's state of mind, where their head is tired of the journey or they have found a place to hide, a sense of comfort, and don't want to continue the journey anymore. However, the lines "Reach inside and pull you out, Take you down pay or tomb, Play along it's my time" which are repeated in the chorus, talk about taking control of oneself and taking charge of the situation, even if it means fighting against oneself.


The lines "Opened up and left to bleed out, Cut it out, leave it out, Yourself and let me breathe out" may mean letting go of the past hurts, opening up to new experiences, and freeing oneself from the negativity. The song talks about taking charge of oneself and cutting out all the negativity and the past experiences which hold one down.


Overall, the song is open to interpretation, but it talks about the journey of life, the struggles, and the need to take control of oneself and the situation.
