What
The Static Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know what it feels like to have to start all over
I know what it feels like to miss the punch like
While another moments passed me by
Don't try to phone, I'm not at home, I've left
And I'm never coming back, yeah, yeah
Don't try to page me, I'm not waiting
When I feel down and out
And there's no one else around
There you are by my side, always waiting, waiting
Come take my hand and let's ride
'Til the morning meets the night, I'll be patiently waiting
I know what it feels like
To have to say you're sorry
I know what it feels like to be misunderstood
I know what it feels like to thank the ones before me
Not a moment I don't try
When I feel down and out
And there's no one else around
There you are by my side always waiting, waiting
Come take my hand and let's ride
'Til the morning meets the night, I'll be patiently waiting
I'll be patient, I'll be patient
I'll be patiently waiting
The lyrics to The Static's song "What" seem to speak to the struggles of feeling like you're missing out on life or not living up to your perceived potential. The first verse sets the tone for this sentiment, with lines like "I know what it feels like to wish the day was over" and "I know what it feels like to miss the punch like while another moment passed me by." These lines convey a sense of sadness and longing for something that has been lost or missed.
The chorus of the song provides a contrast to the first verse, with lines like "When I feel down and out and there's no one else around, there you are by my side always waiting, waiting." This represents a glimmer of hope amidst the desperation and sadness of the first verse. The lines "Come take my hand and let's ride 'til the morning meets the night, I'll be patiently waiting" further convey this sense of hope and perseverance.
The second verse speaks to the idea of being misunderstood and having to apologize for things that were perhaps out of your control. It also expresses gratitude towards those who came before and paved the way for the current generation. Overall, the song seems to be about struggling to find one's place in the world, but finding hope and solace in the support of others.

As someone with OCD, this video (and game) sure was... interesting. Few bits hit close to home, and the final message at the end was beautiful. Seriously, how come it took 2 years for me to come across this? It's well done! Defo underrated.
@TRADEMAN420
I though ocd was Just a thing about me sorting things into perfection
@LaRavachole
@@TRADEMAN420 I highly suggest you to look it up but to answer your question: OCD is about intrusive and uncontrolable thoughts that cause distress, and one way to make the thoughts go away is to enact "rituals". For some people it manifests through the repetitive urge to wash their hands or organize something in a certain manner but there are other ways for OCD to manifest, it differs from person to person and according to intensity.
