Wait for You
Iodine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could travel to New York City
Dress in black and slump around the village
Pierce my flesh with jewels and needles
Turn my black hair white or whatever

I could hang with the mod and the junkie
Sleep all day and run out of money
Put my faith in God or the Beatles
Turn my black hair
Whatever I needed [ whatever I needed ]
Whatever I needed [ whatever I needed ]

I'd still be the same to you
My heart would remain for you

I could inject my anger like venom
Seek revenge then slowly drown in it
Pierce my head with weed or religion
Turn my black thoughts white or whatever

I could think about all I'm missing
Lift my head and see what I can take in
Put my fears away with a ribbon
Turn my white thoughts
Whatever I needed [ whatever I needed ]
Whatever I needed [ whatever I needed ]

I'd still be the same to you
My heart would remain for you

I could travel to New York City
Dress in black and slump around the village
Pierce my flesh with jewels and needles
Turn my black hair white [ turn my black hair white ]

I could hang with the mod and the junkie
Sleep all day and run out of money
Put my faith in God or the Beatles
Turn my white thoughts red

I'd still be the same to you
My heart would remain for you
For you
For you

For you
I could travel to New York City
[ 8x ]





For you, for you...

Overall Meaning

The song "Wait For You" by Iodine is a contemplative and introspective piece, exploring themes of identity, self-destruction, and the enduring nature of love. The lyrics suggest that the singer is questioning their own sense of self, and considering different ways that they could change their appearance or lifestyle. The opening lines refer to the possibility of traveling to New York City and adopting a new persona, dressing in black and piercing their flesh with jewels and needles. This desire to escape oneself is further emphasized in the lines "I could hang with the mod and the junkie / Sleep all day and run out of money."


Throughout the song, the singer seems to be grappling with their own emotions and trying to find a way to cope with feelings of anger and frustration. The lyrics "I could inject my anger like venom / Seek revenge then slowly drown in it" suggest a desire to lash out at the world, while the lines "Turn my black thoughts white or whatever / I could think about all I'm missing" hint at a longing for something more positive or fulfilling. Despite these struggles, however, the singer ultimately affirms their love for another person, repeating the lines "My heart would remain for you" throughout the song.
