The Wait (Killing Joke cover) Lyrics
The fire increases, masks decay
I look at the river, white foam floats down
The body's poisoned, gotta sit tight
The screams subside, distortion shows
Mutant thoughts of bad mouthed news
Is just another birth of distorted views
I know it's originally a Killing Joke song....so I dunno why I'm putting the meaning here, but anyway..
I don't know the ACTUAL meaning, but I'm guessing...that it has something to do with Soldiers waiting to move out or something.
Yeah,sounds like soldiers under some kind of chemical attack.
who cares. its kool
@monkeyman "Who cares"? You're on a fucking song meaning site!

cool cover but pretty much the same as the original
um wrong. the cover will never be as heavy the original and it will never be as awesome. you don't mess with Killing Joke material, and Metallica (granted i like them alot, they're one of my favorite bands) does not deserve the recognition they got with this song. Killing Joke never got the recognition they deserved and that's a sad fact.

I always thought it was about pollution
yeah.. i love this song. it is probably about drugs and how they change your life.
Reynolds, not every song in the world is about drugs. Not trying to just single you out, but also everyone else who thinks certain vague songs have to be about drugs. I personally don't know what it is about, and you could be right, but I kinda doubt it.
Most underrated song on Garage Inc. by far, I haven't checked out the live version on the new DVD but I will soon.
My favorite part is ~3:14 with the double bass, just amazing.
