긴 밤에 말라버린 내 입술이 놓쳤던 ma boo
기억은 언제나 잔상일 뿐 잡힐 듯 잡히지 않았던 you
이젠 널 알아야 해 끝도 없이 반복될 이 꿈
You 너인 걸 알아 그 손길로 꽉 잡아
Fake 아닌 척 그저 깊이 빠져 low low
다시 wait 오늘 밤에 na na na na na na na
Waiting for wait wait waiting for
Waiting for wait wait waiting for (na na na na na na na)
헤치고 분석해 봐 네가 나를 찾아오는 rule
그 또한 널 그리는 시간이 돼 외로워져 늘 ah
Why 결국 나는 좀 더 깊은 꿈을 바라잖아 no
어쩌면 네가 아닌 내가 너를 불러내는 꿈 it's true
You 너인 걸 알아 그 손길로 꽉 잡아
Fake 아닌 척 그저 깊이 빠져 low low
Woah 어질러 잔뜩 미치게 해도
다시 wait 오늘 밤에 na na na na na na na
Waiting for wait wait waiting for
Waiting for wait wait waiting for (na na na na na na na)
Waiting for wait wait waiting for

이 꿈의 난 노예 (why why)

조금씩 down down down 깊이 나를 삼켜가
It's you, it's you, it's you yeah
You 꿈인 걸 알아 그럼에도 널 잡아

In Taemin's song Waiting For, the lyrics depict someone who is waiting for their love interest to return. The opening lines say that the tension has been released, and the singer is catching their breath. The next line says that their lips have become dry from the long wait for their "ma boo" or significant other. The memories of this person are merely shadows, and the singer cannot seem to catch or hold onto them. However, the singer feels that he needs to know this person and this dream will be never-ending.
The chorus says that the singer is waiting for his love interest to come back, even if it means waiting through the night. The second verse suggests that the singer has tried to analyze and figure out why his love interest left, but rules never seem to apply when it comes to love. The singer admits that he is hoping for a deeper dream than just simple infatuation. Perhaps this dream involves the singer calling for the love interest to return.
The chorus repeats that the singer is waiting for his love interest to come back, no matter how long it takes. The bridge shows that the singer feels trapped in this dream, hoping for a different outcome each time. The singer knows this person is only a dream, but he cannot shake the feeling of wanting to hold onto them.
Overall, the lyrics of the song show a person waiting for someone they love to come back. It speaks to the universal feeling of longing for someone and hoping that they return, even if it means waiting for a long time.

For anyone wondering why it sounds so familiar, the chord progression is from Carmen - Habanera opera. It's a really famous classical piece that pretty much everyone has heard whether you're aware of it or not.
@victoriaajayi2085
omg thank you so much!! i was going crazy trying to figure it out
@waterycandle2028
Actually the chord progression isn't the same it's mostly the rythm pattern which is similar
