about

“Still Waiting” is an empowering and defiant alt-rock anthem that encapsulates the struggles and determination of an individual in a world that seeks to break them down. The lyrics evoke a sense of resilience and the refusal to conform to societal expectations, a reminder to persevere despite overwhelming human obstacles. It celebrates the strength to break free from societal constraints and find purpose amidst the chaos. The song inspires individuals to embrace their unique journey and defy the expectations of others while everyone else waits.

lyrics

Look back, standing in the middle, one side of the stream.
Everyone will try to break you.
How many times will you need these
dreams and drugs I bleed?
Break life as it breaks you.
Gently, we fall asleep.
Your gift is heavenly.
Keep wishing and maybe you will see
exactly what it was you came for
before we have to leave.

And when it all runs over,
don’t slip and drown away.
Hold tight to what you came for
while everyone else waits.

Look back, what are these feelings as we play hide and seek?
There’s no one out there left to hurt you.
These primal instincts we keep breathing.
Just want someone else to love you.

And when it all runs over,
don’t slip and drown away.
Hold tight to what you came for
while everyone else waits.

Now stop and listen, it’s all around you.
The frowns of whom once were proud of you.
They think they’ve got something to say
about the scars of life, on what you’ve paid.
Punch in, punch out, your time here’s wasting.
Oh watch, the river’s gonna flood out the basin.
So grab hold of what you may seek and
fuck what all the others call reality!

And when it all runs over,
don’t slip and drown away.
Hold tight to what you came for
while everyone else waits.
Yeah, yeah, while everyone else waits!
Yeah, yeah, while everyone else waits!
