Wait a Minute
The Wipers Lyrics

The Wipers' "Wait a Minute" seems to be talking about being proud and being able to stand out in a crowd. The opening line "Let's get just a little too proud" seems to suggest that the singer is feeling confident in themselves or their abilities. However, as the next few lines point out, this pride might not be entirely authentic or unique. Everyone may be putting on a show, trying to appear the most confident or impressive, but it's all a front.

The lines "So you think that you'll never get burnt / Then what are you doing waiting for your turn" suggest that despite how confident one may feel, everyone is susceptible to getting hurt or feeling vulnerable. The singer questions why anyone would wait for their turn to experience this pain or failure. It's a call to action to not wait around for the inevitable negative moment but to instead take risks and be vulnerable, even if it's scary.

The lines "So is it that we're really on trial / But nothing's ever gonna change our style" suggest that perhaps society or the individuals within the crowd are all being judged or evaluated. Despite this, the singer claims that nothing will change their style or who they are. This may further emphasize the idea of being authentic and true to oneself, rather than putting on a false front to impress others.

The final lines "So just give me a little smile / Nothing's ever gonna change for a while" may suggest that despite the potential for vulnerability or pain, it's important to still find moments of joy and happiness. Perhaps the singer is saying that change may not come immediately, but it's still important to find moments of positivity in the present.
