| Uh Huh Her – Wait Another Day Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think it's about a secret love, possibly a homosexual affection for somebody that may be hesitant about coming out or being in this type of relationship. In the first verse, this person (let's just use the pronoun 'she/her') is protected by the the very thing that "shatters" her, which is the night (most likely a metaphor for a lie or cover used to protect the object of her affection). She can "run where [she] can and hide where [she wants] to hide" but this is also breaking her up inside. She can imagine what it would be like to be with this person, "I went out of my mind", or maybe what it would be like to try to forget them, but is "caught here one more time" meaning she may not be able to fathom life without them or maybe just can't find anything wrong with the relationship. She keeps coming back to it despite the other person not being ready to have that kind of relationship with her. She might not be able to do anything about it because the other person is not ready to return her affection. When she refers to "waiting another day" and says that she would "leave all this behind", I think she is simply stating that she will be patient and wait as long as it takes for this other woman to love her back. She is willing to leave her life as she knows it or, rather, risk being shut out from family and friends because of her sexuality for this other woman. To her, the love she has for this other woman is worth all that. Basically she ends by saying she will do things the hard way if that's what it takes to be with this other person. She will wait, borrow time, waste dreaming about this woman when she could be spending time with her, all to give the other woman time to be okay with her own homosexuality. And in the end, hopefully, her object of affection will come to the conclusion that they are right for each other. It's a classic love story with a twist. Girl1 loves girl2. Girl2 is not okay with it, maybe scared of the repercussions. Girl1 is patient and will wait for eternity for girl2. Romantic! |
