Wait
Eryn Martin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't wait around here, go chase it
That thing you love most, don't waste it
I've been singing songs like this for ages
Don't believe in words, I'll skip the pages

No need to feel so bad
He feels so much for himself
Three ways to switch him back
But too far gone for your help
One thing to make him mad
When you go call for some help
Don't fall on any words
You would've promised yourself

I've been blind sided
They don't mind, I did
But this blunt might hit
So I'll mind this, later
Horsin round in my wayfers
Why you all in my way for
Un accepted behavior

Don't wait around here, go chase it
That thing you love most, don't waste it
I've been singing songs like this for ages
Don't believe in words, I'll skip the pages

You been through hell and back
So what the hell is it like
Seems you don't have a scratch, some type of bruise or a bite
I think you're mentally insane and always getting your way
Backed out of everything they paid for and you still point for blame

They've been blind sided
They don't mind, I did
Cause this life I live
Wouldn't mind some favours
Maybes never come later
Hoodlum all in my radar
Takin all that you pay for

Don't wait around here, it's boring outside
The grass it ain't green, and the snow it ain't ice
The kids they all laugh 'cause their moms are so nice
When something goes wrong they just ask for advice, it's like

I've been blind sided
They don't mind, I did
But this blunt might hit
So I'll mind this, later
Horsin round in my wayfers
Why you all in my way for
Un accepted behavior

Don't wait around here, go chase it
That thing you love most, don't waste it
I've been singing songs like this for ages
Don't believe in words, I'll skip the pages

Don't wait around here, it's boring outside
The grass it ain't green, and the snow it ain't ice




The kids they all laugh 'cause their moms are so nice
When something goes wrong they just ask for advice, it's like

Overall Meaning

In Eryn Martin's song "Wait," the lyrics encourage listeners to pursue what they love without wasting time waiting around. The singer acknowledges that she has been singing about this idea for ages and doesn't believe in just saying the right words without acting on them. She addresses someone who is feeling down but also self-involved, and warns that they are too far gone for help. She reminds them not to fall for empty promises, they should chase their dreams instead of waiting for something to happen.


The second verse describes someone who has been through a lot but seems to come out unscathed, possibly because they are mentally unstable and always get what they want. The singer suggests that they are backed out of everything despite paying for it but still shifts blame onto others. In the chorus, the call to action is repeated, and the singer advises that it's boring to wait around, as the grass is not always greener on the other side. The song closes with the idea that people should pursue what they love most and not believe in empty words but actions.
