Nyxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said I've been waiting, oh
It's been a long road that I've walked alone
And I've been searching for you
Well I've been so cold, and my heart's been closed
There's a wall, no light shines through
And in my darkness, I found your hands
The water's churning, my world's spinning
And you were there standing still
'Cause I've been waiting for someone like you
Babe, I've been waiting for you
In NYXX's song "Waiting", the lyrics talk about the longing and searching for someone special. The singer has been alone for a long time and is tired of waiting for that perfect person to come into their life. However, when this person finally arrives, they feel like they have been saved from the darkness that once consumed them. The verses describe the feeling of being lost and in search of something or someone. Yet, the chorus declares that the wait was worth it because they have finally found the one they have been waiting for.
The lyrics describe a strong emotional journey of a person who has gone through a lot before finally finding their loved one. The words bring out the rawness and depth of the singer's feelings towards love, and how finding it has transformed their life. The line, "And in my darkness, I found your hands", similarly describes the comforting presence of the other person.
Moreover, the line "The water's churning, my world's spinning, and you were there standing still" adds a visual layer to the song, suggesting that the singer was navigating a turbulent and chaotic journey until they found the person they had been searching for.
