Why? – Berkeley by Hearseback Lyrics 13 years ago
"Will this new year see my rotting hair's release" is pretty clearly a reference to his alopecia.

I think it's

We fake our concern and speak softly as the surgeon
Tells wife to cancel her plans

Los Campesinos! – Ways to Make It Through the Wall Lyrics 17 years ago
Lyrics as they appear in the booklet:

I think it's fair to say that I chose hopelessness
And inflicted it on the rest of us
But at least I've come to terms with my own mortality
We search for different ways
To make it through the wall
Resign our parents' interests
Will one day be our own

We wait at ease
We wait to see
We are waiting here for catastrophe

The guy singing all the sad songs died
Oh well, I guess he was right
Oh, I guess he was right
We learn together over time
That tolerance is more appealing
In theory than in practice
I identify my star sign by asking
Which is least compatible with yours

And a room full of vacuum,
And a room full of air look the same
You have not been reborn
They've just painted your face, painted the walls

Message sent to so far unreached peoples
I think they've got it in for us
I think they've got it in for us
How you break the rules that you yourself imposed
Think you've got it in for us
I think you've got it in for yourselves

I think the chorus is wrong.

It's not correct to say 'awaiting FOR something'. Await is a transitive verb.
I think it's more likely to be, 'Ah, we are waiting here for catastrophe.'
