Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you're waiting for
You're on your own
Cause I want more
I never thought that I would have to keep you guessing
The consequences of my actions aren't forgiving
In light of information that's been coming into my mind
Lies a truth that's becoming way too hard to find
Our alliance fades away into a slight of hand
You had your chance, I gave you all but you still find excuse
Suppress the feeling instead of healing any past abuse
Oh, I don't know
What you're waiting for
You're on your own
Cause I want more
The arguments we used to have I would never consider
They were coming from a place that could never deliver
Any sort of function or rationality
You had to pick and had to push and had to fuck with me
Maybe my fault for the declining of the situation
But not the king who you should be managing the escalation
The day I realised that the blood between us didn't matter
Was the day that I checked out and watched my life shatter
Oh, I don't know
What you're waiting for
You're on your own
Cause I want more
We like to think you have our interests buried in your heart
You came across a decent man with values at the start
Erosion took us to a place and then it sucked us dry
So what did we do
So we rewarded their behaviour, kissed it all goodbye
Integrity, an accusation I can get behind
For what are we? If just a shell, who rather acted blind
Sans belief and then becoming just another stranger
Stand alone, taste the silence in the echo chamber
Oh, I don't know
What you're waiting for
You're on your own
Cause I want more
Smashed apart the jigsaw, burnt the pieces that proclaim us dead
No one to blame, you raised the gun to your own fucking head
Disintegration of the past, the number one agenda
The road to ruin came at last to every fucking member
The tiny pieces left behind will never be assembled
But I still vow that you will never make my heart tremble
There's no revenge or honesty, the damage now complete
Don't pay it forward, look inside before you bring the heat
Oh, I don't know
Expressing uncertainty and confusion about the situation
What you're waiting for
Questioning the other person's motivations or intentions
You're on your own
Acknowledging that each individual is responsible for their own actions
Cause I want more
Desiring something beyond what has been given or received
I never thought that I would have to keep you guessing
Surprised at the need to maintain ambiguity or uncertainty in the relationship
The consequences of my actions aren't forgiving
Recognizing the impact of one's choices and behavior
In light of information that's been coming into my mind
Considering recent revelations or insights
Lies a truth that's becoming way too hard to find
Struggling to uncover a difficult reality
The first instance I have seen for breaking up the band
Noticing the initial signs of a partnership deteriorating
Our alliance fades away into a slight of hand
The close relationship is disappearing like a magic trick
You had your chance, I gave you all but you still find excuse
Offering opportunities without receiving commitment or effort
Suppress the feeling instead of healing any past abuse
Choosing to ignore emotions rather than addressing past harm
The arguments we used to have I would never consider
Reflecting on past disagreements that seem trivial or insignificant now
They were coming from a place that could never deliver
Realizing that conflicts arose from unproductive or harmful sources
Any sort of function or rationality
A lack of logic or reason in the disputes
You had to pick and had to push and had to fuck with me
Highlighting deliberate provocation or antagonistic behavior
Maybe my fault for the declining of the situation
Taking responsibility for the deteriorating circumstances
But not the king who you should be managing the escalation
Rejecting the role of being in control or responsible for escalating tensions
The day I realised that the blood between us didn't matter
Understanding that shared history or connection no longer holds significance
Was the day that I checked out and watched my life shatter
Disengaging from the relationship and witnessing personal devastation
We like to think you have our interests buried in your heart
Believing that the other person cares for our well-being deep down
You came across a decent man with values at the start
Initially perceiving the other as honorable or principled
Erosion took us to a place and then it sucked us dry
Gradual deterioration and depletion of the connection between us
So we rewarded their behaviour, kissed it all goodbye
Choosing to end the relationship due to negative behavior
Integrity, an accusation I can get behind
Acknowledging that integrity is lacking in the situation
For what are we? If just a shell, who rather acted blind
Questioning the nature of the relationship and the lack of insight
Sans belief and then becoming just another stranger
Losing faith and feeling disconnected from the other person
Stand alone, taste the silence in the echo chamber
Isolating oneself and experiencing the emptiness of unreciprocated communication
Smashed apart the jigsaw, burnt the pieces that proclaim us dead
Destroying any remaining semblance of unity in our relationship
No one to blame, you raised the gun to your own fucking head
Recognizing individual responsibility for the downfall of the partnership
Disintegration of the past, the number one agenda
Prioritizing the breakdown of past experiences and memories
The road to ruin came at last to every fucking member
All participants in the relationship reached a point of irreversible damage
The tiny pieces left behind will never be assembled
Acknowledging the irreparable nature of the fragments of the relationship
But I still vow that you will never make my heart tremble
Promising emotional resilience despite the dissolution of the bond
There's no revenge or honesty, the damage now complete
Accepting that seeking retribution or truth won't undo the harm already done
Don't pay it forward, look inside before you bring the heat
Advising introspection before perpetuating conflict or negative emotions

sorry i use google Translate. understand more English than I can spell it. I follow you here on Youtube. And I'm not done watching all your videos at all. I also bought your book: The Poetic Edda: Stories of the Norse Gods and Heroes
. I find cultivating even this faith or religion? And I find it very exciting to see how words and sentences that I personally found easier to read the old way in both the poems, the songs and the stories, etc. For a different meaning in English? . eg in Havi-Maal.
1. LOOK AT ALL THE DOORS,
before entering.
No one can know where Unfriends are sitting
in the Bo bench.
(In Danish)
1. SE dig om ved alle Døre,
inden du gaar ind.
Ingen kan vide, hvor Uvenner sidder
i Bo bænket.
(translated by Thøger Larsen) I am from Denmark and they are part of the words like Snorri Sturluson
have written are words I know through my Danish. I find it all exciting here. thanks for your great videos

One of my favorite things about Norse mythology is their dynamic afterlife. Christianity and other major religions tend to have extremely structured and set afterlives that supposedly last for all of eternity. Eternity is a very, very, VERY long time. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather be somewhere with more freedom and more interesting places to visit.
This expands further when you throw in the concept of the Norse self, which consisted of four parts; the hamr (body), the hugr (the mind/personality), the fylgja (a sort of familiar/attendant/guide that is kinda of like the Native American spirit animal), and the hamingja (a persons luck/fortune). Each of these can potentially go off and do their own thing, even when dead. So your hamr and hugr might be in Hel, while your fyljga travels about, and your hamingja can be with/passed on to your children (especially if they are named after you). I remember reading something about some people's hugr becoming an elf and regularly playing at places the loved while on Midgard. Supposedly some shaman's could also blend their hugr and fylgja so they could travel as one while the hamr remained stationary (kinda like Bran and his wolf in Game of Thrones).
All of this sounds waaaaay more interesting than perpetual paradise/torment.

Christian afterlife isn't as structured as the regular Christian thinks, there's Hades, Bosom of Abraham, different kinds of Limbos (possibly one's that are very similar to Hel), Gehenna and Heaven. And we have very little idea of how it is to actually be in these places, all we know is if it's a good idea to be there or not.

I know this is old, but still...
I suggest you read about Gnosticism, Martinism, Rosicrucianism (either from the Lectorium Rosicrucianum or the Rosicrucian Fellowship). Authors like Max Heindel, Rijckenborgh, Boehme, L.C de Saint-Martin, Martines de Pasqually, D'Alveydre, Willermoz... Just avoid the name "Samael Aun Weor" and you'll be safe.

You've said much more than I hope to in reply, chiefly because I want to encourage rather than critique.
In my slowly growing experience studying the bible, I can attest to you that, at least in the west, there is a clear difference between how we talk about what the bible says and what the bible itself seems to be talking about. The first century believers have a sense of death and the afterlife that does tend to be flattened in our modern discussions about eternity. Very few churches ever get exited about the resurrection of the dead these days, a thing that some might mistake as the literary rebirth motif. This is everywhere in the Greek scriptures - that death and the grave is our enemy, and Jesus has come to defeat them to liberate us from that gaping maw that swallows us all; the burial grave.

As an Icelander I'd like to point out that we still use this word, gjallarhorn. We use this for the device called megaphone and similar devices. We also still use the term, helblár, as an example when a person is suffocating and the lips turn blue.

@Самый Сильный languages, cultures and nations die with or without globalism. Only difference is that now they will be better remembered by many more.

"Hel-blue"? That sounds awesome lol.

@Самый Сильный I think it's prescriptivism, but I understand why you would do it for languages with small numbers of speakers like Icelandic. They have similar practices in Lithuania, and that actually goes back to a long tradition of language preservation. Under the Russian empire, for instance, Lithuanians would smuggle books around just to keep their language alive so their culture wouldn't get absorbed into Russia's. So while I don't normally like such practices, I'm glad people are doing it to preserve small, unique and interesting languages like Icelandic and Lithuanian.
Самый Сильный
I like that icelanders are trying to not use words from other languages for calling things like computer and other modern stuff, but looking for alternatives in their own folklore. That's how we should protect our identity in globalistic world
