Waiting For Another Chance
Endgame Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some usual day
Everything seems okay
Lights in the murk, are perfect for work
Your headphones are like a shield to the silence
But what would be, if you taking a look?

Oh-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh another chance to change is gone
There will be new ones, but first you have to find them
This is the day, we don't look away
From the wings of humanity today
Cause this life, life, life, life it's too short to waste a chance

Every evening you watching TV
There's another misery
Only pictures and numbers you see, but you don't mind
Like everyday, close your eyes and go to bed
But what would be, if you taking a look?

Oh-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh another chance to change is gone
There will be new ones, but first you have to find them
This is the day, we don't look away
From the wings of humanity today
Cause this life, life, life, life it's too short to waste a chance

That is just a song
The changes can only start in your mind

Oh-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh another chance to change is gone
There will be new ones, but first you have to find them
This is the day, we don't look away
From the wings of humanity today
Cause this life, life, life, life it's too short to waste a chance

Oh-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh another chance to change is gone
There will be new ones, but first you have to find them
This is the day, we don't look away




From the wings of humanity today
Cause this life, life, life, life it's too short to waste a chance

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Waiting For Another Chance" by Endgame express the idea that life is too short to waste any opportunities that come by. The first verse portrays a normal day in which everything seems fine, and the person is going through their routine without really paying attention to their surroundings. The chorus emphasizes the importance of seizing opportunities and not letting them go to waste, as they may not come again. The second verse describes how people tend to turn a blind eye to the world's problems and suffering by watching them on TV, but the question is posed again - what if they took a closer look? The lyrics then reinforce the message that change starts within an individual's mind, and the need to act on it.


The song's title, "Waiting For Another Chance," implies that the singer may have missed an opportunity in the past and is now waiting for another one to come by. The song seems to encourage not waiting for a chance to come but actively seeking it out. It may serve as a motivating anthem for its listeners to seize the day and take any opportunities that present themselves.

Mann, Mann, Mann... Ich habe seid Jahren dieses Lied immer wieder im Kopf und mich dumm und dĂ€mlich bei ABC durchgesucht....😂😂😂 Danke... Meine Seele ist finally glĂŒcklich und zufrieden. 😍

Wie geil ist das denn.... Habe die Tage mein altes Sony-Tape vom Speicher geholt und reparieren/ĂŒberholen lassen, um mal die alten Kassetten zu hören. Und: Welcome to the 80ÂŽs.....Das hatte ich ĂŒberhaupt nicht mehr auf dem Schirm. Ich war 1983 fĂŒnfzehn! Was ne geile Musik, was ne geile Zeit.
