The Wait Lyrics

Motives changing, day to day
The fire increases, masks decay
I look at the river, white foam floats down
The body's poisoned, gotta sit tight

The wait, the wait, the wait, the wait

After wakening, silence grows
The screams subside, distortion shows
Mutant thoughts of bad mouthed news
Is just another birth of distorted views

The wait, the wait, the wait, the wait

The wait, the wait, the wait, the wait

I watched the live performance of this song and Jaz said right before it a few senetnces of introduction. He asked the audience some questions about unresolved riddles of world history and then said - "I WAIT for the truth".

I'm pretty sure this song is just about the wait for the truth to come out from politicians about world events, and the fact that it never seems to come. When they performed at the 25th anniversary gig at Shepherds Bush, Jaz said 'Who killed Dr, David Kelly and Diana?, I'm waiting for a bit of honesty now. Did Tony Blair know about Kelly do you think?, or was it Alistair Campbell? I'm waiting for the truth" just before the song was performed. which sort of confirmed it for me.

I really like this song, but don't know what it's about.

I dunno. I used to think of this song when I'd drop acid and sit there waiting for it to kick in. But as to its meaning...no clue. Seems to possibly be drug related...not in the way I said earlier though.

Is it "masks decay" or "mass decay?"

I always thought it was "the fire increases as MOTHS decay" This song seemed to be about environmental degradation and humanity's lack of caring about it. The Wait for the end to it all.
