I'll Be Waiting
Shena & Full Intention Lyrics

These lyrics are from the chorus of the song "I'll Be Waiting" by Shena & Full Intention. The song is about the struggle to keep one's soul and mental health intact in the face of societal pressures and expectations. The opening lines, "Yes, there comes a booming sound / It used to come from underground" suggest a deep, primal force that has been suppressed or pushed away. But now, the sound "emanates from a kind of welfare state / Of the soul" - a place where people seek refuge and care for their inner selves.

The next lines, "Let's be certain of the deliberate monologue / As sure as if it will fall across you, unto you" speaks to the power of words and messages that can influence us, even if we don't intend to let them. The song warns that if we are not careful, we can easily become lost in the noise and chaos of modern life, leaving "the doing undone." The phrase "Come on undone" can be interpreted as an invitation to let go of our expectations and allow ourselves to feel vulnerable and raw.

The final lines of the chorus, "And we are doing / And we are screwing up our lives today / What's that we chanted / It's this we planted c'mon progeny" suggest a sense of urgency to break free from destructive patterns and take responsibility for our actions. The use of the word "progeny" suggests that future generations are at stake, and that we have a duty to create a better world for them.
