Their first release, 2014's self-titled EP, featured three songs (including debut single "Speak Softly") that would later appear in acoustic form on the Broken Home Sessions EP and the fleshed out Monstrous Things EP, which arrived in 2015
In the summer of 2017, Picturesque issued their debut LP, Back to Beautiful, which included singles "Fake Fiction," "New Face," and "Honestly".
"In the spring of 2020 Picturesque released their Sophomore Album titled "Do You Feel O.K.?" released via Equal Vision Records. Picturesque decided to take a different direction and went with a more alt rock/hard rock route instead of their post-hardcore sound like their debut album "Back to Beautiful." This album includes singles "Necessary," "Crimes," "Swipe," "ATTN:," and "Pray" which acquired more than 4 Million streams on Spotify.
Picturesque is a band that should not be slept on in the scene. They are here to stay and they are here to slay.
Waiting
Picturesque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While I′m running in circles searching
For something else
Pale and sleepless self
Broken and restless from
What I've become
I′m not dead just yet
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
Lost inside another fantasy
I've been searching for something
That doesn't exist
Waiting, waiting For some clarity
Calm down
Breathe out
Maybe I′m scared
Or maybe I′m just unprepared
Am I worthless, pointless
Or am I pathetic
Lost but I can't get it
I′m not dead just yet
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
Lost inside another fantasy
I've been searching for something
That doesn′t exist
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
And I swear If the moment ever comes
I won't be there
I won′t be there
So I'll stop
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
Lost inside another fantasy
I know you won't show
I′ve been expecting too much of not enough
The world won′t stop for me to make a mark
Well I can't (Well I can′t)
Bite my tongue (Bite my tongue)
I've been avoiding sleep
So I′ll be self deceived
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
Lost inside another fantasy
I've been searching for something
That doesn′t exist
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
And I swear If the moment ever comes
I won't be there
I won't be there
So I′ll stop
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
Lost inside another fantasy
The song "Waiting" by Picturesque is about questioning oneself, feeling lost and searching for something that doesn't seem to exist. The singer is running in circles, searching for clarity, and feeling broken and restless from what they have become. The repetition of "waiting, waiting for some clarity" emphasizes the feeling of being stuck and unsure of what to do next.
The singer is also questioning their worth and whether they are pointless or pathetic. The line "lost but I can't get it" suggests a sense of confusion and frustration. However, the singer acknowledges that they are not dead yet, implying that they still have the potential for growth and change.
The line "I've been avoiding sleep, so I'll be self-deceived" suggests that the singer is avoiding facing their problems and instead trying to distract themselves with other things. But ultimately, they realize that they need to stop waiting for clarity and instead take action to make their own mark on the world.
Overall, "Waiting" is a song about feeling lost and searching for direction, but ultimately realizing that the answers won't come without taking action.
