The Waiting Makes Me Curious
Fear Before Lyrics

The lyrics to Fear Before the March of Flames's song The Waiting Makes Me Curious seem to explore themes of individuality, mortality, and the search for purpose in life. The opening lines "Just like I came into this world / all by myself, I will leave it" suggest a certain acceptance of one's own mortality and the idea that ultimately, we face death alone. The following lines, "I stared into the serpent's eyes / And then for once I felt alive," could be interpreted in a number of ways. It could be seen as a moment of clarity or enlightenment, or perhaps the singer is facing their own fears and overcoming them.

The next set of lines, "And if this world wasn't built for me / there is no point at all," suggest a sense of alienation or disconnection from the world. The singer seems to be questioning their place in the world and whether their existence has any meaning. The following line, "Hold onto your vice and I will hold onto mine," could be interpreted as a kind of refusal to conform to societal norms or expectations. The final lines, "Your day will come / Twenty-seven invincible years, / where do you go where nowhere feels like home? / And I can't sleep a wink so i'll tell you when I get there. / I'll walk into the light, but the light's fading away," further emphasize the theme of mortality and the idea that life is fleeting. The reference to "twenty-seven invincible years" could be a nod to the concept of the "27 Club," which refers to a group of famous musicians who died at the age of 27.
