Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Wait For You" by Youjeen speaks to the universal experience of waiting for love. It is an emotional and heartfelt plea to the universe to bring the singer's true love to them. The opening lines of the song, "I just wanna wait for you, I wait for you yeah, only for your love, I believe... you're somewhere in this world" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is devoted to waiting for their soulmate, believing that they are out there somewhere. Even though the wait may be painful and uncertain, the belief in the power of love to bring two people together is what drives the singer to hold on and wait.

The second verse describes the challenges of the waiting process. The singer acknowledges the reality of sadness and heartbreak that comes with romantic love, as they say "namida wo fuite kanashimu koto nai kara" which means "I won't be sad enough to cry." However, the singer remains steadfast in their commitment to wait, saying "zutto shinjiteru sono hi no tame ni tozasanaide matteru" or "I will keep waiting for that day, so don't close off the possibility." Even when their love seems to have vanished, the singer holds on to the hope that they will find their true love someday.
