In The Waiting Line Lyrics

Cover art for In The Waiting Line lyrics by Zero 7

if any of the real zero 7 fans are out there that have seen the video, you understand this song. none of this garden state crap...but i'll save that for another time.

people have pretty much gotten to the main idea. it's about the monotony of life. everyone has their routine, no one stops to really pay attention to anything around them.

the video shows a robot on a spaceship, whose job is apparently to grow and harvest vegetables for the crew in some sort of 'dead garden' and prepare them for meals. it shows the robot's entire routine, and then as the song progresses it repeats the routine in a sped-up manner, until the robot decides to go water some plants in the dead garden on the ship. he stays there while the flowers glow and bloom, and sunlight comes in through the windows of the ship and the garden is alive and beautiful.

you can draw your other conclusions from that description too. but the video is worth watching, and is out on the net somewher.e. poke around zero7's website and in the older archives you can find it.
