Waiting For Love
Rasmus Hagen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And every night has its day, so magical
And if there's love in this life, there's no obstacle
That can't be defeated
For every tyrant a tear for the vulnerable
In every lost soul the bones of a miracle
For every dreamer a dream we're unstoppable
Monday left me broken
Tuesday I was through with hoping
Wednesday my empty arms were open
Thursday waiting for love, waiting for love
Thank the stars it's Friday
I'm burning like a fire gone wild on Saturday
Guess I won't be coming to church on Sunday
I'll be waiting for love, waiting for love
To come around
We are one of a kind irreplaceable
How did I get so blind and so cynical
If there's love in this life we're unstoppable
No we can't be defeated
Monday left me broken
Tuesday I was through with hoping
Wednesday my empty arms were open
Thursday waiting for love, waiting for love
Thank the stars it's Friday
I'm burning like a fire gone wild on Saturday
Guess I won't be coming to church on Sunday
I'll be waiting for love, waiting for love
To come around
The lyrics of Rasmus Hagen's "Waiting For Love" suggest a positive and optimistic outlook on love and life. The first verse implies that with determination, anything is possible. The phrase, "where there's a will, there's a way," means that a determined person can overcome any obstacle to achieve their dreams, which is a positive message. The lines "every night has its day" and "if there's love in this life, there's no obstacle that can't be defeated" suggest that even when times are tough, love can help overcome any obstacles.
The second verse is a reminder of the importance of empathy and compassion. "For every tyrant a tear for the vulnerable, in every lost soul the bones of a miracle" implies that those who appear strong and powerful could be secretly struggling, and those who seem weak may have hidden potential. The line "For every dreamer, a dream" emphasizes that everyone deserves a chance to pursue their aspirations. "We're unstoppable, with something to believe in" implies that a shared belief or passion can unite people and make anything possible.
The chorus repeats the line "waiting for love" four times and emphasizes the desire for love, but it's never clear who or what the singer is waiting for. It is possible that they are waiting for a specific person, but it's also possible that they are waiting for love more generally, and that the song serves as a reminder of the importance of love in our lives.
