Waiting for You
Gold Member Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm going to disappear into the night
And can we hold it down one more time
Before we put down this life
I've been waiting for you, or someone to come true
I've been waiting for you, so I know what to do
I'm just doing it for the love
I can't tell if it's easy or hard,
I'm just doing it for the love
We're at the speed of sound
You keep working into the ground
Can we walk this great wall and then,
Meet in the middle again
I've been waiting for you, or someone to come true
I've been waiting for you, so I know what to do
I'm just doing it for the love
Tell myself I'm doing it all alone
I can't tell if it's easy or hard,
I'm just doing it for the love
Up and down I've been lying again
Now,
And around,
And i hope to pretend
I can hold it/ I can learn it/ I can do it again
Hey it's going to be alright
Walking at the speed of sound
Hey it's going to be alright
Walking at the speed of sound
The lyrics to Gold Member's Waiting for You speak to the singer's desire for love and companionship. The opening lines evoke a sense of ambiguity and transience, as the singer refers to themselves as "a shadowy light" that will "disappear into the night." Despite this evocation of uncertainty, the singer expresses a clear desire to hold onto their current moment, to "hold it down one more time / Before we put down this life." This sense of urgency extends throughout the song, as the singer repeatedly expresses their longing for someone to "come true" so that they can "know what to do."
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's drive to continue pursuing love, despite the difficulties they face. They state that they are "just doing it for the love" and that they tell themselves they are "doing it all alone." This implies a sense of isolation and loneliness, but also a resilient determination to keep going. The bridge of the song adds a layer of complexity to this drive, as the singer acknowledges the cyclical nature of their desires and actions. They speak of "lying again / Now, and around, and [hoping] to pretend," suggesting that they have been through this cycle before, and yet still continue to pursue love.
Overall, Waiting for You is a song that speaks to the universal human desire for love and companionship. It acknowledges the difficulties and potential for disappointment in this pursuit, and yet ultimately expresses a sense of hope and determination.

Hey I'm a shadowy light
I am a vague and elusive presence
I'm going to disappear into the night
I will vanish without a trace
And can we hold it down one more time
Let's try to preserve this moment for a little longer
Before we put down this life
Before we move on from this existence
I've been waiting for you, or someone to come true
I have been waiting for a savior or a sign of direction
I've been waiting for you, so I know what to do
I have been waiting for guidance and purpose
I'm just doing it for the love
I am performing this task out of passion
Tell myself I'm doing it all alone
I convince myself that I am self-sufficient
I can't tell if it's easy or hard,
I cannot discern if this task is simple or difficult
I'm just doing it for the love
I am performing this task out of passion
We're at the speed of sound
We are moving at an incredible pace
You keep working into the ground
You are working tirelessly without a break
Can we walk this great wall and then,
Can we overcome this obstacle together and meet in the middle
Meet in the middle again
Let's reconcile and reconnect once more
Up and down I've been lying again
I have been oscillating between honesty and deceit
And around,
And concerning other matters
And i hope to pretend
I aspire to conceal my true emotions
I can hold it/ I can learn it/ I can do it again
I am capable of managing this situation, acquiring new skills, and repeating this process
Hey it's going to be alright
Everything will be okay
Walking at the speed of sound
We continue to progress rapidly
Hey it's going to be alright
Everything will be okay
Walking at the speed of sound
We continue to progress rapidly
