Raaka-Aine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kahden pienen ihmisen suhteessa
Joista kumpikaan ei tiedä mitä haluavat
Ei silloin osannut arvostaa
Meidän kahden yhteistä rakkautta
Sitä turha enää on pelastaa
En osannut sua mä rakastaa
Mä vielä sinua tarvitsen
Juhlitaan, kahdestaan
Ja me voidaan kaikki unohtaa
Niin paljon suunnitelmia
Jotka oli vain harhakuvia
En tahdo niitä unohtaa
Ne teki mun elämästä parempaa
En tiedä kuinka kertoisin
Että sinusta mä silloin välitin
Ja mä haluaisin vielä yrittää
Perustaa yhteistä elämää
Odota, älä mee
Mä vielä sinua tarvitsen
Juhlitaan, kahdestaan
Ja me voidaan kaikki unohtaa
The song "Odota" by Raaka-Aine is a heartfelt reflection on a past relationship. The first verse begins by talking about how many unnecessary words were spoken in the relationship of two small individuals who didn't know what they really wanted. The singer laments that they didn't appreciate their shared love and that it's now too late to try and save it. The chorus then asks the other person to wait and not to leave, as the singer still needs them. They suggest that they should celebrate and forget everything else together.
The second verse continues the reflection on the past relationship, mentioning how many plans were made that turned out to be nothing but illusions. The singer admits that they don't want to forget those plans because they made their life better. They then express their difficulty in trying to convey their feelings to the other person and that they still want to try and build a life together. The chorus again asks the other person to wait and not to leave, as the singer still needs them, and they suggest that they should celebrate and forget everything else together.
Overall, the song showcases the singer's sense of regret and longing for a past relationship that they didn't appreciate at the time. It's a poignant reminder about how easy it is to take someone or something for granted until it's too late.
