Bidin' My Time
Jon Clairmonte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
While other folks grow dizzy
I keep busy
Bidin' my time.
Next year, next year,
Somethin's bound to happen,
I'll just keep on nappin'
And bidin' my time
Cause that's the kinda guy I'm.
There's no regrettin'
When I'm settin'
Bidin' my time.
The lyrics to Jon Clairmonte's song Bidin' My Time speak to the idea of patience and persistence in pursuing one's goals. The opening lines, "But I'm bidin' my time, Cause that's the kinda guy I'm," suggest that the singer is not easily swayed by external pressures or timelines. Rather than rushing headlong into action, they prefer to take a measured approach, focusing on the task at hand and waiting for the right moment to strike.
The second verse reinforces this idea, with the repeated refrain of "next year, next year, somethin's bound to happen." This line suggests a faith in the future and a belief that better things are always just around the corner. However, the singer also acknowledges that there is work to be done in the present - hence the line "this year, this year, I'll just keep on nappin'." While others may be in a hurry to achieve their goals, the singer is content to take things at their own pace.
Ultimately, the song celebrates the power of persistence and the value of taking one's time. By "bidin' my time," the singer ensures that they will achieve their goals without sacrificing their own well-being or sense of balance. There is a sense of quiet confidence and determination throughout the song, which makes it an uplifting and inspiring anthem for anyone who has ever felt like they needed to slow down and take a breather.
