Waiting For The Meninblack Lyrics

I'm waiting every day I've been watching from my chimney stack
I'm waiting every week I've been hoping that they're coming back
I'm seeing all the signs and I'm learning how to bring them back
And I'm waiting for the Meninblack

(Waiting for the Maninblack)
(Waiting for the Meninblack)
(Seeking for the Loveinblack)
(Seeking for the Meninblack)
(Seeking for the Meninblack)
(Seeking for the Meninblack)

I'm standing on a hill and I'm looking for the glimpse of light
I'm clutching my teddy bear if I don't I might die of fright

I'm reading all the signs and I'm learning how to bring them back
And I'm waiting for the Meninblack

(Standing)
(Looking)
(Watching)
(Staring)
(Looking)
(Clutching)
(Standing)
(Looking)
(Clutching)
(Clutching)
(Clutching)
(Clutching)
(Clutching)
(Clutching)
(Clutching)
(Clutching)

I'm standing on a hill
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m learning how to bring them back
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting (for the meninblack)
And I’m waiting (for the meninblack)
And I’m waiting (for the meninblack)
And I’m waiting (for the meninblack)
And I’m waiting (for the meninblack)
And I’m waiting (for the meninblack)

And I’m waiting

I'm waiting every day I've been watching from my chimney stack 
I'm waiting every week I've been hoping that they're coming back 
I'm seeing all the signs and I'm learning how to bring them back 
And I'm waiting for the Meninblack

And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack
And I’m waiting for the Meninblack

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
