Waiting For Love
Waiting for Iris Lyrics

A stranger in white
A person in white clothing that is not known to the singer

In a car
The stranger is in a vehicle

Going somewhere
The stranger is going to a destination

Going far...
The distance the stranger is traveling is great

How it must feel to go racing
The artist imagines how it would feel to travel at a high speed

Wherever you please
The stranger is free to go wherever they want

Flying as free as a bird
The stranger is moving quickly and effortlessly like a bird in flight

With his tail in the breeze
The stranger is moving so fast that their clothes can be seen blowing in the wind

Even the fish in the sea
The artist believes that all living creatures desire freedom and the ability to move quickly

Must be longing to fly
The artist believes that even fish dream of the freedom of flight

Catching a glimpse of a stranger
The singer sees the stranger in passing

In white racing by
The stranger is going so fast that they are nearly a blur

Oh, Gods
The singer is addressing a divine entity

Are you there?
The singer is questioning the existence of a higher power

What can I do to get you to look down
The singer is asking for divine intervention in their life

And give in?
The artist is asking the divine to grant their wishes

Hear my prayer
The artist is asking for their prayers to be heard

I'm here in the field
The singer is physically present in a field

With my feet on the ground
The singer is standing on solid ground

And my fate in the air
The artist's future is uncertain and up in the air

Waiting for life to begin
The artist is waiting for some life-changing event to happen

Mama's contented and Tonton
Two people who the artist knows are Mama and Tonton

Accepts what he gets
Tonton is satisfied with what life has given him

Happy for tea in their cups
Mama and Tonton find joy in simple pleasures like having tea

And no holes in their nets
They are grateful to have what they have and not experience loss

Happy to have what they have
Mama and Tonton are content with their lives

And to stay where they are
They are content to remain in their current location and lifestyle

They never even look up
Mama and Tonton are not interested in the outside world

At the sound of a car!
They don't take notice of a car passing by

A stranger!
The singer sees another stranger passing by

Racing down the beach
The stranger is moving quickly near a body of water

Racing to places
The stranger's destination is unknown

I was meant to reach
The artist believes that they are destined to reach the same destination as the stranger

My stranger
The artist feels a connection to the stranger

One day you'll arrive
The singer believes they will one day meet the stranger

The car will stop
The car will come to a halt

And in I'll hop
The singer will get into the car with the stranger

And off we'll drive... We'll drive!
The singer and stranger will go on a journey together

Please, be there
The singer is pleading with a higher power to listen to their request for intervention

Don't you remember
The artist feels forgotten and neglected by a divine entity

Your little Ti Moune from the tree
The artist is referring to themselves as a young child

Wake up!
The singer is demanding divine attention

Look down!
The singer wants a higher power to take notice of them

Don't single me out
The artist doesn't want to be ignored or left out

And then forget me...
The artist fears being forgotten again after being noticed

Let me fly
The artist desires to be free to move as they wish

Send me to places
The singer desires to go to new, unexplored places

Where no one before me has been
The artist desires to explore new territory

You spared my life
The singer believes they were saved by a higher power

Show me why
The singer is asking for an explanation of why they were saved

You get me to rise
The singer feels motivated by a higher power to move forward in their life

Like a fish to the bait
The artist is easily swayed by outside forces, like a fish lured by a bait

And tell me to wait
The artist feels compelled to wait for guidance

Well, I'm waiting...
The singer is currently waiting for divine guidance

Waitng for Life to Begin!
The singer is waiting for an event to start their new life

Waiting for Life to Begin!
The artist is eagerly waiting for their new life to start
