Waiting
Olympic Ayres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saved my coins of words I'm wishing
Help me lose my inhibition
Holy water, intuition
As you dive in just to wake me up
A life examined is a life to live
As you fly in just to shake things up
I wanna tell you more
′Cause I've been waiting for it
Far too long
Found my place this moment
I belong
'Cause I′ve been waiting for it
Far too long
Found my place this moment
I belong
Got them caged up, mental prison
What′s their future, the revision
Draft a new law, weigh decision
Cut the forest, shopping-sion
A new light shines just as you wake up
A careful you in the life you live
But a mother mourns 'cause she′s lost her son
The island keeps you still, I wanna tell you more
'Cause I′ve been waiting for it
Far too long
Found my place in this moment
I belong
'Cause I′ve been waiting for it
Far too long
Found my place in this moment
I belong
Move to the mountains
Peace never made it
Go unannounced but thoughts never faded
Sun's getting hotter
Sea's losing colour
And we′re all getting closer (don′t say it's over)
Move to the mountains
Peace never made it
Go unannounced but thoughts never faded
Sun′s getting hotter
Sea's loosing colour
And we′re all getting closer
'Cause I′ve been waiting for it
Far too long
Found my place in this moment
I belong
'Cause I've been waiting for it (I′ve been waiting for it)
Far too long (far too long just to let you)
Found my place in this moment (found my place in this moment)
I belong (I belong in this place called home)
The song "Waiting" by Olympic Ayres is a beautifully crafted piece that talks about the emotional journey of waiting for something that someone has been yearning for, and finding a sense of belonging in the moment. The opening lines "All the things that I've been missing, Saved my coins of words I'm wishing" signify that the person has been holding back their words and emotions, saving them for the right moment, and now they are looking to break free from their inhibitions with the help of intuition and holy water. The person acknowledges that their life has been examined and it is time to live it fully.
The second verse talks about the struggles of mental imprisonment and the need for a revision to draft a new law to bring change. The lines "But a mother mourns 'cause she's lost her son, The island keeps you still, I wanna tell you more," is a reflection of the pain that comes when someone loses a loved one, and how it can weigh heavily on one's mind. The person feels the need to share more but cannot do so as they are engulfed in their thoughts.
In the chorus, the person expresses their joy of finding their place in the moment, and it brings a sense of fulfillment and belonging. The lines "Move to the mountains, peace never made it, go unannounced but thoughts never faded," represents the desire to move away from all the chaos and noise in the world to find peace, but no matter how far one goes, their thoughts never fade away.
Overall, "Waiting" is a song about finding oneself, letting go of inhibitions, and embracing the moment of belonging.
