Waiting
Satellites Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First I saw you
I knew you were
Someone to notice, my pretty face
I sent a message, to your inbox
You first replied, I was nervous
You were taken, aback by my
Taste in music, I could get by
So there I was, message in hand
Patiently waiting, patiently waiting
Days go by, I can’t get straight
Where’s your reply, there was no haste
I need to know, take you so long
Are you there? I don’t know yet
Here’s a message, to my inbox
Now there’s four, eager beaver

So I reply, there’s excitement
Patiently waiting, patiently waiting

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Waiting" by Satellites tell a story of a person who is attracted to someone they saw and immediately found interesting. They took the initiative to send a message to this person, and to their delight, received a response. However, they soon discovered that the person they were interested in was already involved with someone else. Despite this setback, the singer found common ground with this person through their shared taste in music. They continued exchanging messages, eagerly waiting for the other person's reply.


As the days passed without a response, the singer became increasingly anxious and confused. They couldn't understand why it was taking so long to receive a reply. In their desperation to find out if the other person was still interested, they sent another message to their inbox. This time, they discovered that there were now four messages waiting for them. This created a sense of excitement and anticipation for the singer.
