Waiting For You
Sean Guerrero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Music, TV, Radio, and Games
All the words are yells and screams
Spoke silent quite sleep
But I will wait for you and I won't turn away from you
It feels like forever,
Since you went away
But I won't turn away
And I will wait for you, until you come, until you come my way
And I will wait for you, until you come, until you come again
Walking down a clouded street lights below
Men, Women, and Children laugh and sing
Behind the smiles are darkened dreams
Hopeful eyes with light beneath
But I will wait for you and I won't turn away from you
It feels like forever,
Since you went away
And it feels like forever
But I won't turn away
And I will wait for you, until you come, until you come my way
And I will wait for you, until you come, until you come again
Your memories are echoing, echoing since you went away
Moving me to face my fears, wipe my tears
But I won't turn away
And I will wait for you, until you come, until you come my way
And I will wait for you, until you come, until you come again
The lyrics to Sean Guerrero's "Waiting For You" paint a picture of a world filled with chaos and noise in which people's hopes and dreams are often overshadowed by the harsh reality of life. The first two lines of the song establish this theme, as the singer laments that everything in the world appears to be a source of pain and suffering. Music, TV, radio, and games - things that typically provide an escape from the world - are all just as loud and discordant as the noisy world around him.
Despite the chaos, however, the singer expresses a patient confidence in waiting for someone - perhaps a loved one - to return to his life. The repeated refrain of "I will wait for you, until you come, until you come my way" emphasizes his steadfastness in the face of uncertainty and his willingness to weather storms. The imagery of a "clouded street" with "men, women, and children laugh and sing" highlights the contrast between the outward appearances of happiness and the darkness that may be hidden behind them.
Even as the singer confronts the echoes of memories that come with loss and separation, he remains determined not to turn away from his loved one or the difficult emotions that come with waiting for them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Waiting For You" weave together themes of perseverance, patience, and determination even in the face of a world full of noise and darkness.
