Waiting For
Sliimy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you remember when I last saw you, in the morning
You came around me like I could do something
Do you remember when you tried to despise me
I was waiting for you but you left me standing here

Remember when you were the first, now you come without words
Like it was normal, and you think you’re really special
But now I’m waiting for…

I’m waiting for someone! Who? But it’s not you
I’m waiting for, I’m waiting for someone! Who? But it’s not you
But I’m waiting for, I’m waiting for someone! Who? But it’s not you
When you come running back
My love goes out
And when love is all, me I’m alone
And I’m not waiting for you.

Do you remember last night I saw you in the street
I was waiting for my friends when you came up to me
Do you remember when you told me that I was stupid
Now I’m out of control at nine o’clock in the evening

Remember when you were the first, now you come without words
Like it was normal, and you think you’re really special
But now I’m waiting for…

I’m waiting for someone! Who? But it’s not you
I’m waiting for, I’m waiting for someone! Who? But it’s not you
But I’m waiting for, I’m waiting for someone! Who? But it’s not you
When you come running back
My love goes out
And when love is all, me I’m alone
But I’m not waiting for you.

I wish you’re waiting for me
To feel the real pain
I wish you’re just waiting for love




You’re NOT big NOT clever at all.
I’m not waiting for you.

Overall Meaning

The song "Waiting for" by Sliimy is about a person who is waiting for someone, but it is not the person they used to know. The lyrics suggest that the persona has seen the person they are waiting for in the morning and at night, and they have been rejected or shown some form of dislike in the past. They mention how the person used to be the first to reach out, but now they come around without words or regard for their past relationship.


The persona of the song is hurt and angry at the person who they are not waiting for, even wishing that the person would feel the real pain of waiting for love. The lyrics suggest that waiting for the wrong person only leads to loneliness and hurt. The repetition of the line "I’m waiting for someone! Who? But it’s not you" creates a powerful and clear message of hope for something better.


Overall, the song captures the frustration, pain, and sometimes irrational thoughts that come with waiting for somebody who is not worth the time and effort.
