I Can't Wait
Left of Zed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got no arms or palms
Just fingertips
Satanic verses never left my lips
Edited dreams they became routine
Convicted devils running all their screens
This is the way i spend my days
This is the rec room on the fray
That was the dream i had last night
Somebody told me that i might
I can't wait for that day
I can't wait for that day
I can't wait for that day
I can't wait
I never made the choice
How dumb could i be?
But how to make it work without compromise?
I know she's better than what she sees but
What do i say when she begins to cry
And this is the way that we went insane
Waiting for an idiot's okay
They can never make me right
They have never had that right
I can't wait for that day
I can't wait for that day
I can't wait for that day
I can't wait
What to say?
It's got to be better than today
How to say?
Make it better than today
Which way?
If it's better than today
How to say?
Make it better than today
I can't wait for the day
Till we have a home
I can't wait for the day
Till you come on home
I can't wait for the day
When we are alone
I can't wait for the day
That everyone goes
And this is the way we went insane
Waiting for an idiot's okay




They can never make us right
They have never had that right

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "I Can't Wait" describe a sense of physical and spiritual deprivation. The singer has "no arms or palms / Just fingertips," which could be interpreted as a literal condition or a metaphorical one, suggesting a sense of powerlessness and inadequacy. The next line, "Satanic verses never left my lips," adds a layer of spiritual desolation, suggesting that the singer feels cut off from any higher power or meaningful spirituality. From there, the lyrics take on a more surreal and dreamlike quality, with "edited dreams" becoming routine and "convicted devils" running screens. This paints a picture of a world where reality has been filtered through a twisted lens, with dark forces pulling the strings.


The refrain of "I can't wait for that day" takes on a more hopeful tone, suggesting that the singer is holding out for something better, some sort of breakthrough or liberation. The specific details of this day are left unspecified, but it seems to represent a moment of escape from the bleak, oppressive landscape described in earlier lines. The lyrics switch perspectives in the second half, addressing a partner or loved one who is similarly trapped and struggling to find a way out. The lines "I know she's better than what she sees but / What do I say when she begins to cry" suggest a desire to provide comfort or guidance, but a sense of helplessness in the face of such overwhelming sadness.


Overall, "I Can't Wait" paints a stark and unsettling portrait of a world where both the physical and spiritual realms are twisted and corrupted. However, the refrain provides a glimmer of hope, suggesting that there is still some possibility of escape or redemption.
