Wishing A Solution
Garage Fuzz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wishing a solution

Burned out from the last week
Waiting and waiting to find what I need
I'm sitting, I'm watching and I'm thinking
Took a shower today, many reasons to stay clean

I wake up and see the light
Trough the window a child smiles
Too good to turn away

My way is good, I get so wound up
I'm not alone, look around at home
I can sleep soon, I dare to dream
Weight drags me down

I watch it on tonight's news
It's Friday and why am I still worrying?

It burns my skin when I get in
Wishing you'll be back here again

Overall Meaning

In Garage Fuzz's song "Wishing a Solution," the singer reflects on their current state of burnout and exhaustion, as they wait and search for something they need. They describe taking a shower and finding reasons to stay clean – perhaps as a way to both physically cleanse themselves and to mentally prepare themselves for whatever lies ahead. The singer then has a moment of clarity as they wake up and see a child smiling outside their window – an image too good to ignore or turn away from.

Despite moments of positivity and hope, the singer still feels the weight of their struggles dragging them down. They mention watching the news and worrying, even though it's Friday (a supposed day of relief or rest). The singer seems to be grappling with a desire for something or someone to come back to them – to provide some kind of solution or answer to their problems.

Overall, "Wishing a Solution" captures a sense of tiredness and longing, mixed with moments of quiet hopefulness. It's a song that speaks to the search for stability and peace in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.

Line by Line Meaning

Burned out from the last week
Feeling exhausted after going through the events of the previous week

Waiting and waiting to find what I need
Endlessly hoping to find what is sought after

I'm sitting, I'm watching and I'm thinking
Being idle and contemplative

Took a shower today, many reasons to stay clean
Finding solace in simple acts of self-care

I wake up and see the light
Seeing hope for the future

Through the window a child smiles
Finding joy in small, everyday moments

Too good to turn away
Deciding to hold onto moments of happiness

My way is good, I get so wound up
Feeling confident in one's own path, yet struggling with anxiety

I'm not alone, look around at home
Finding comfort among loved ones

I can sleep soon, I dare to dream
Hope for a better tomorrow, despite current struggles

Weight drags me down
Feeling burdened by stress and anxiety
