Ad Infinitum
Suburban Tribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been waiting for
A godsend
Something to give you a sign
All your life
You've been craving for
A windfall
Something to blow your mind
You are right in the middle
But you don't realize it
It all spins around you
But you're too blind to see
Why can't you see the damage done
There's no escape
Nowhere to run
Time is running through your hands
You'll miss your change to make a stand
All your life
You've been dreaming of
A godsend
The time is drawing near
All your life
You're prepared for
A windfall
The break is finally here
No-one can take it away now
It will happen at last
But you don't feel a thing
And it's all over s fast
High hopes, downfall
Hatred, depression
High hopes, downfall
Hatred, depression
The song Ad Infinitum by Suburban Tribe talks about a person who has been waiting for a miracle, a sign or windfall throughout their entire life. However, the person fails to realize that they are in the middle, and everything spins around them, but they are too blind to see. The lyrics are trying to tell us that sometimes we wait for miracles in our life, but we don't see the value in the present moment. We keep searching for something that we believe will change our life.
The song also carries a warning as it tells the listener that they need to take action before it's too late. The lyrics state that there is no escape or anywhere to run, and time is running through our hands. If we fail to take action, we will miss the chance to make a stand, and we will regret it in the future.
In the end, the song talks about high hopes, downfall, hatred, and depression. Although the person is now in the middle and has everything they ever wanted, they feel nothing, and it's all over so fast. The song is a reminder that we should appreciate what we have and take action towards our goals before it's too late.
