Waiting Now
Opshop Lyrics

Dawn says almost everything
The dawn symbolizes a new beginning and a fresh start. It has the power to push away the darkness and fill our surroundings with light, hope, and promise. And even though it does not speak, it reminds us of the beauty and simplicity of life.

Passing in front of you and me
The dawn is a fleeting moment that passes quickly before our eyes. It is as elusive as a dream that fades away as soon as we wake up. We can only cherish its memory and hold on to the hope that it will come again tomorrow.

Disguised as a memory
The dawn has the power to evoke memories of our past. It is a reminder of the people, places, and moments that shaped our lives. We often mistake the present for the past and the future for the present. The dawn blurs the boundaries between time and space and makes us realize that everything is interconnected.

We're all guilty and under the influence - of gravity
Gravity is a force that binds us to the earth and keeps us grounded. We cannot escape its pull, no matter how hard we try. It is a metaphor for our limitations and our mortality. We are all guilty of being human and subject to the laws of nature.

But I'm so partial to those moments with you
Despite our limitations and our mortality, we can find moments of happiness and joy in the company of others. We are social beings who thrive on love, affection, and intimacy. These moments are precious and rare, and we should cherish them while they last.

I've bathed in our own lament
Sometimes, we find ourselves struggling with our emotions and our inner demons. We feel overwhelmed by the weight of our own thoughts and feelings. It is a painful and lonely experience, but it can also be a healing one. By acknowledging our pain and our sorrow, we can let go of our fears and our doubts.

When we were flashing in front of my eyes
Our memories are like snapshots that capture the essence of our lives. They are a record of our experiences and our emotions. They can be happy or sad, joyful or painful, but they are always a part of who we are.

And I and I and me are my own worst enemies
Sometimes, we are our own worst enemies. We sabotage ourselves by doubting our abilities, criticizing our choices, and second-guessing our decisions. We are too hard on ourselves and too quick to judge.

But I hope you'll see the best of us in time
Despite our flaws and our shortcomings, we can also be kind, compassionate, and generous. We have the capacity to love and be loved. We can make a difference in the lives of others and in the world around us. It is up to us to choose the path that leads to healing, growth, and transformation.

I'm waitin' now for this cause to take effect
Sometimes, we have to wait for the effects of our actions to become apparent. We cannot control everything or predict the future. We have to be patient and trust that things will work out in the end.

And though you're standing up high on this precipice
Life is full of challenges and obstacles. We often find ourselves standing on the edge of a precipice, unsure of what lies ahead. We can either give in to our fears and doubts or take a leap of faith and embrace the unknown.

I'll wait for you
Waiting is an act of love and devotion. It is a sign of our commitment and our loyalty. We wait for those we love because we believe in them and in the power of our bond.

Oh… I am
The repetition of 'I am' at the end of the song is a reminder of our own existence and our own agency. We have the power to shape our lives and our destiny. We are the masters of our fate and the captain of our soul.
