Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fear's song "Waiting for the Meat" describe a sense of anxiety and discomfort as the singer and their companions sit at a table, waiting for food. The repetition of the line "we're sitting at the table and we're feeling un and able" emphasizes this feeling of unease and hints at a larger sense of helplessness or disconnection from the world around them. The repeated phrase "we're waiting for the meat" can be seen as a metaphor for a desire for something more substantive or fulfilling in life - a sense of purpose or direction that the singer and their companions may feel is missing.


The lines "where are we oh one of them's high, one of them's low / where are we oh one of them's high and one of them's low" further emphasize this sense of disorientation and uncertainty. The reference to one person being "high" and another being "low" could refer to drug use, but it could also be interpreted more broadly as a reflection on the varying emotional states and perspectives of the people at the table.


Overall, "Waiting for the Meat" is a song that captures a sense of existential angst and uncertainty, using the experience of waiting for food as a metaphor for a larger yearning for meaning and purpose in life.
