Wait For Me
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A lucky star's above, but not for me
With love to lead the way
I found more clouds are gray
Than any rainy day, could guarantee
I was a fool to fall, and get that way
I should have known the price, I'd have to pay
The memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
The Rat Pack's song Wait for Me reflects the feelings of unrequited love. The song narrates the story of someone watching people falling in love, experiencing the joys of it, but it is not happening to them. The opening verse affirms the writer's argument that they cannot seem to find love, especially when others around them are experiencing it. The writer acknowledges the possibility that it could be their fault, and that they may not have taken the right actions to find love, but they see that others may have been more fortunate. The line "With love to lead the way, I found more clouds are gray than any rainy day could guarantee" communicates their perception that love seems to lead to more sadness and loneliness than to happiness.
The writer contemplates their decision to take the risk of falling in love, and they see that it was a mistake. They realize that the price they had to pay by allowing themselves to fall in love was too high, and it was not worth it. They do not discount the memory of the kiss that they received from the person they fell in love with, but they recognize that they cannot belong together. They have to move on and accept that the person is not meant for them.
Overall, Wait for Me is a touching portrayal of the pain of unrequited love. The Rat Pack did an excellent job in capturing the emotions that someone in that situation would feel - the sadness, the loneliness, the longing, and the resignation.
