Waiting Four
Peter Gelderblom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Waiting for, waiting for, waiting for, waiting for)
Waiting for, waiting for, waiting for, waiting for
Waiting for, waiting for, waiting for

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And never 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, waiting for, waiting for, waiting for
Waiting for, waiting for, waiting for, waiting for
Waiting for, waiting for, waiting for, waiting for
Waiting for, waiting for, waiting for

(Waiting for, waiting for, waiting for) waiting for

Waiting for
Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And never 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

(Waiting for, waiting for, waiting for, waiting for)




Waiting for, waiting for, waiting for, waiting for
Waiting for, waiting for

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Peter Gelderblom's song "Waiting 4" speak of waiting in line to see a show, with the anticipation building as Dani the girl sings songs underneath an oversold marquee. The repetition of "waiting for" throughout the song emphasizes the longing and eagerness of the singer's wait. The heavy glow and never light on suggest a sense of darkness and uncertainty, while the line "by the way I tried to say I'd be there waiting for" hints at a potential relationship or connection between the singer and Dani. Overall, the lyrics capture the excitement and tension of waiting for something important.


One interesting fact about "Waiting 4" is that it is a remix of a 2005 song by the German electronic group IIO, called "Rapture." The original version of "Rapture" was a club hit and popularized the use of the sitar sound in dance music. Another interesting fact is that "Waiting 4" was featured on the soundtrack of the popular video game, "Need for Speed: ProStreet." Additionally, the song was remixed numerous times, with versions by DJ Montano, DJ Delicious, and Klaas becoming popular in their own right.
