I'll Be Waiting
Violent Delight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel walls when I
I picked up and realize
I saw you it when you
You put your life on hold for them
I know
You'd do my life someday
You know
You wanna do the same

This is what I have become
A chosen scrap out on my own
You'll see
I've been waiting for things that never come
Here with nowhere to run

Come home and I
I see a changing anytime
I've saw it when you
Miss all the things you leave behind
I know
I feel it all the time
You know
That this is the last time

This is what I have become
A chosen scrap out on my own
You'll see
I've been waiting for things that never come
Here with nowhere to run

(?)
So why did you have to lie?
I see through and I'm saying
I realise
Second time
You know you have to pay it twice
I'm losing it all the time
You're turning back 'cause you're not on me
You're turning back 'cause you're not on me
You're turning back 'cause you're not on me
You're not on me

This is what I have become
A chosen scrap out on my own
You'll see
I've been waiting for things that never come
Here with nowhere to run

I've been waiting
A chosen scrap out on my own
I've been waiting
You'll see
I've been waiting
For things that never come




I've been waiting
With nowhere to run

Overall Meaning

In "I'll Be Waiting" by Violent Delight, the singer reflects on the feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward in life. The first verse begins with the singer feeling trapped within walls, which could symbolize the confines of society or their own mind. As they pick up and realize this, they see someone who has put their life on hold for others. The singer acknowledges that they also have done this and that they hope to change one day. The second verse begins with the singer coming home and noticing a change, but ultimately realizing that they're still waiting for things that never come, and they have nowhere to run.


The chorus serves as a reminder that the singer has become a "chosen scrap out on [their] own," meaning they have been left to fend for themselves with nowhere to turn. They have been waiting for something that may never come, and the repetition of the line "I've been waiting" emphasizes their frustration and feeling of being stuck.


In the bridge, the singer questions someone's lies and realizes that they need to pay for their deceit twice. The final repetition of the line "you're turning back 'cause you're not on me" could suggest that this person is no longer trustworthy or reliable and has left the singer in a state of abandonment.


Overall, the lyrics of "I'll Be Waiting" convey a sense of frustration and helplessness in the face of stagnation and uncertainty in life.
