Symphonia IX (My Wait Is U) Lyrics

I try, I try
To make you cry
And make you love me

Oh, I would say yes
Oh, I would say yes

The need to be the best before
The need to rest

Oh, I would say yes
Oh, I would say yes

See, my wait is you
My wait is you, my wait is you
My wait is you and I won't go on

See, my wait is you
My wait is you, my wait is you
My wait is you and I won't go on

To make the pain, to feel the flame can be trying
Oh, I would say yes
Oh, I would say yes

So as you fade away alive
I lay dying
Oh, I would say yes
Oh, I would say yes

See, my wait is you
My wait is you, my wait is you
My wait is you and I won't go on

See, my wait is you
My wait is you, my wait is you
My wait is you and I won't go on

Cover art for Symphonia IX (My Wait Is U) lyrics by Grimes

To me, this song at its core is about unrequited love. Or rather, being in love with someone who can't feel love properly. For someone to be in "true love" they have to have access to all their emotions. Many people don't and especially many men. If you can't cry, for example, your emotions are stuck and suppressed and you can't therefore be in love. So she wants the subject of the song to cry so that he could love her fully. Being in love, she knows, is "trying" (as in, hard to endure) and he is unable or unwilling to make the risk. She of course has no reservations about the relationship and though the longing is painful, she seems content to wait for him to change.

My Interpretation

About a twin flame/twin soul connection. You can't be separated by the person else you'll have a deep longing for the person.

The subtle lines that form between the last surviving parent and the child that is willing to carry her to the end. This song represents the caregivers point of view...to me.

The reluctance and acceptance of the situation: I try, I try to make you cry and make you love me.

The care: The need to be the best before the need to rest.

The decline: To make the pain, to feel the flame can be trying.

The aftermath: So as you fade away alive, I lay dying.

To my mother: My wait is U.
