Wait For You
Theo Tams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I took my anger and laid it down
You see, well I'm not gonna to fight
So take my sword, my shield, my pride
Turning your body you tell me, no I cannot make it
Kissing you lips, oh it kills me, no I cannot take it
Tell me the truth love, did we just bend or did we break it?
Living a lie is not easy
Throw a stone into the sky and it will come back to you
Beggars will beg, thieves will steal and liars will bend the truth
And if you pick a flower you know it's bound to die
And I will wait for you
Well, I stood still and stared in your eyes
I could trace the path of the tears you cried
And cried and cried and cried
Turning your body you tell me, no I cannot make it
Kissing you lips, oh it kills me, no I cannot take it
Tell me the truth love, did we just bend or did we break it?
Living a lie is not easy
Throw a stone into the sky and it will come back to you
Beggars will beg, thieves will steal and liars will bend the truth
And if you pick a flower you know it's bound to die
And I will wait for you
I never wanna see you cry
I never wanna leave your side
I only wanna live this life standing next to you
I will wait for you, wait for you
Turning your body you tell me, no I cannot make it
Kissing you lips, oh it kills me, no I cannot take it
Throw a stone into the sky and it will come back to you
Beggars will beg, thieves will steal and liars will bend the truth
And if you pick a flower you know it's bound to die
And I will wait for you
So the truth same out
But I took my anger and laid it down
These lyrics from Theo Tams's song Wait For You explore the complex emotions that come with a relationship falling apart. The singer seems to have gone through a difficult time where truth has been revealed, but instead of getting into a fight, he chooses to let go of his pride and lays his anger down. The line "Turning your body you tell me, no I cannot make it, kissing your lips, oh it kills me, no I cannot take it" could imply the agony the singer is going through, knowing that his lover wants to leave and he has no control over this situation. He is heartbroken and struggling to come to terms with the reality of their relationship. The repeated line "Tell me the truth love, did we just bend or did we break it?" highlights the singer's confusion about the state of their relationship. He doesn't know if they have just gone through a bump in their journey or if they have reached the end of the road, and this uncertainty is making it hard for him to cope.
The chorus of the song delivers an important message about the inevitability of consequences. The singer points out that whatever you throw out into the world will eventually come back to you. For instance, if you throw a stone into the sky, it will come back to you, much like how your actions have consequences. The line "Beggars will beg, thieves will steal and liars will bend the truth" showcases the truth that some people are bound to behave in certain ways despite the consequences. And if you pick a flower from a plant, it is bound to die. This line could represent the singer's relationship. If they push their limits to make the relationship work, it might end up dying anyway. The singer repeats, "And I will wait for you," indicating that he is willing to wait for his lover despite the uncertainty of whether they will come back or not.
Overall, the lyrics of Wait For You convey the emotions of heartbreak, uncertainty, and the inevitability of consequences. The song tells us that there are things in life we can't control, like the actions of others, but we can choose how we react to them.
