Waiting For
Peter Gelderblom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waiting for...

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for
Dani the girl
Is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee... oversold

Waiting for...

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for
Dani the girl
Is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee... oversold

Waiting for...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Peter Gelderblom's song "Waiting For" speak to the experience of standing in line for a concert, waiting in anticipation for the much-anticipated performance to begin. The heavy glow of the light from the venue illuminates the area, creating a palpable sense of excitement and anticipation. The singer, presumably a fan of the band playing tonight, is waiting for Dani, the girl who sings songs that mean something special to him.


There is also a sense of frustration and uncertainty in the lyrics, as the singer acknowledges that he's not entirely sure when Dani will take the stage or when the show will start. The line is long, and the venue is oversold, adding to the tension and uncertainty of the situation. Nonetheless, the singer remains committed to waiting for Dani, even as the night wears on and things become increasingly chaotic and confusing.


Overall, the lyrics to "Waiting For" capture the energy and expectation of a live concert experience, while also exploring the complex and nuanced emotions that arise when we invest ourselves deeply in the music we love.
