Waiting For You
cln Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never really seem to get the hang of it
I make a mess of everything I temper with
Went to the beach and waited outside
Then I hung myself out to dry

I never really seem to get the hang of it
My timing's bad, I'm gonna make a mess of it
I'll see you in a couple weeks, maybe
Not real sure what's going on lately

Ooh
I'm waiting for you
Ooh
I'm waiting for you

Ooh
I'm waiting for you
Ooh
I'm waiting for you

Ooh
I'm waiting for you
Ooh
I'm waiting for you

I never really seem to get the hang of it
I make a mess of everything I temper with
Went for a walk, to try and calm my head
Can not see a thing, went back to bed

I never really seem to get the hang of it
My timing's bad, I'm gonna make a mess it
My memory is getting pretty hazy
I'll see you in a couple months, maybe

Ooh
I'm waiting for you
Ooh
I'm waiting for you

Ooh
I'm waiting for you
Ooh
I'm waiting for you

Ooh
I'm waiting for you




Ooh
I'm waiting for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to cln's song "Waiting for You" explore themes of anxiety, uncertainty, and self-doubt. The singer of the song seems to feel like they "never really seem to get the hang of" things and that they "make a mess of everything" they try to do. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the singer's feelings of inadequacy and frustration with their own abilities.


The second verse of the song suggests that the singer is dealing with some kind of personal crisis that has left them feeling overwhelmed and unsure of themselves. They mention trying to calm their head by going for a walk, but ultimately returning to bed because they "can not see a thing." The final line of the verse, in which the singer says "I'll see you in a couple months, maybe," suggests that they may be withdrawing from their social and romantic relationships out of a sense of insecurity and fear of letting others down.


Overall, the lyrics to "Waiting for You" capture the feeling of being stuck in a state of limbo, waiting for something to change but feeling powerless to make it happen. The repetition of the title phrase "I'm waiting for you" suggests that the singer may be waiting for an external source of validation or support that they feel they need in order to overcome their self-doubt and move forward with their life.
