Here Comes Your Man
Meaghan Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Outside there's a box car waiting
Outside the family stew
Out by the fire breathing
Outside we wait 'til face turns blue
I know the nervous walking
I know the dirty beard hangs
Out by the box car waiting
Take me away to nowhere plains

There is a wait so long
You'll never wait so long

Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man

Big shake on the boxcar moving
Big shake on the land that's falling down
Is a wind makes a pond stop blowing
A big big stone fall and break my crown

There is a wait so long
You'll never wait so long

Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Hey, here's your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here he comes
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here he comes your man
Here comes your man




Here comes your man
Here he comes

Overall Meaning

Meaghan Smith's song "Here Comes Your Man" portrays a sense of restlessness and waiting in the face of a bleak and uncertain future. The opening lyrics illustrate a scene of waiting outside by a box car, where the singer knows the "nervous walking" and "dirty beard" of those present. They wait until their faces turn blue, embodying a sense of desperation and unease. The repetition of "take me away to nowhere plains" speaks to a desire for escape from the current situation.


The chorus features the repeated phrase "here comes your man," which offers a glimmer of hope and anticipation amidst the uncertainty. The lyrics "there is a wait so long, you'll never wait so long" further emphasize the theme of waiting, suggesting that the situation is seemingly endless and hopeless.


The latter half of the song introduces a sense of chaos and danger with the lines "big shake on the boxcar moving/big shake on the land that's falling down." The images of a wind stopping and a stone breaking a crown create a sense of destruction and upheaval. Despite this, the chorus remains constant, offering the same hope and anticipation as before.


Overall, Smith's lyrics capture a sense of waiting amidst uncertainty and danger, but also suggest a glimmer of hope and anticipation in the form of "the man" who is coming.

lyrics
Outside, there's a boxcar waiting
Outside, the family stew
Out by the fire breathing
Outside, we wait 'til face turns blue
I know the nervous walking
I know the dirty beard hang, hang, hangs
Out by the boxcar, waiting
Take me away to Nowhere Plains
There is a wait so long
(So long, so long)
You'll never wait so long
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Big shake on the boxcar moving
Big shake to the land that's falling down
Is a wind, makes a palm stop blowing
A big, big stone fall and break my crown
There is a wait so long
You'll never wait so long
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Hey, here's your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here he comes
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here he comes, your man
Here comes your man
Hey, here's your man
Here he comes
