What Are You Waiting For?
Hunters & Collectors Lyrics

The song opens with a powerful statement about the human condition - we always want more than what we have, and we will do whatever it takes to get it. This is evident in the lyrics "You got what you need, you need what you take," which suggest that even when we have everything we require, we are still unsatisfied and feel the need to take more. The line "You think of all the love and all the money you make" highlights the two primary motivators for human behavior and how those motivations are often at odds with each other.

The second verse creates a picture of a person who is unreliable and untrustworthy. They are compared to the singer, who is similarly brutish, and it is suggested that they may even have a romantic relationship. The lines "Kiss you on the mouth behind your back, do the dirty on you, backdoor attack" indicate a person who is not only dishonest but also malicious. The third verse brings back the dealer with the dagger (who looks like the singer) and suggests that this person is responsible for the one who has broken in. This could be interpreted in a number of ways, but it seems likely that the "butcher" is the person who has broken in and is responsible for the chaos that has ensued.

Overall, "What Are You Waiting For?" is a song about dissatisfaction, greed, and untrustworthiness. It suggests that humans will always want more than what they have, and that this desire can lead to dishonesty and even violence. Despite this, the song encourages the listener to take action and make the most of what they have, rather than waiting for something better to come along.
