Waiting Room
Signs of Betrayal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your lights of fluorescent expose the colorless objects.
And offer reflections below the footsteps that guide us.
Into the narrow obscurities that never end,
Aligned with everything that we depend.

Where life is death waiting,
To take us in with contagious smiles,
That we long for.
Hold out our hands begging,
While we just sit in our righteous minds,
That we long for.

So capture us in this room the darkest of hours.
Our pulsating eyes refuse to focus attention.
Into the narrow obscurities that never end,
Aligned with everything that we depend.

Where life is death waiting,
To take us in with contagious smiles,
That we long for.
Hold out our hands begging,
While we just sit in our righteous minds,
That we long for.

Resenting your patience,
Confined in our questions,
Is this our conclusion?
Is this our conclusion?

Where life is death waiting,
To take us in with contagious smiles,
That we long for.
Hold out our hands begging,




While we just sit in our righteous minds,
That we long for.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Signs of Betrayal's song Waiting Room introduces a metaphorical waiting room. The room is dark, with fluorescent lights revealing only colorless objects. The footsteps of the people in the room create reflections that guide them into narrow obscurities that never seem to end. The obscurities seem to be aligned with everything they depend on. The people in the room seem to be waiting for something, perhaps death. Death seems to be waiting for them with contagious smiles that they long for. They are begging for something, holding out their hands while sitting in their self-righteous minds.


As the people sit in the waiting room, their pulsating eyes refuse to focus, and their patience begins to wear thin. They resent the waiting and are confined by their questions. The questions lead to a conclusion, perhaps, that death is inevitable, and the waiting room is where their journey will end.


The lyrics of the song are deep and meaningful, depicting the struggles of life and the inevitability of death. The waiting room is a metaphor for our journey, and the obscurities that never end signify the challenges we face. The song also inspires us to be patient and to focus on what is essential, as the people sit and wait for the end of their journey.
