Wait It Out Lyrics

I would have to disagree with everyone, although I see the break-up thing, but I relate to this song as someone struggling with the way people seem so lethargic or apathetic about changing the world.

Waiting out each worldly tragedy, wishing for the courage to makeshift yourself into a hero, stumbling around in self-conscious agony of what people might assume from your youthful tears, frustrated with logical, and born again cynics yet sharing opinions with both hoping a street-level miracle makes the connection between sides.

That's just how I related to the song anyway.

Yes! This is exactly what I scrolled down to post :) It seems it could be interpreted as a break-up song if one needed a break-up song at the time, but she never mentions anything about a break-up.

She is talking about apathy, and how everyone seems to just be 'waiting it out'. For someone else to fix the world. We're 'clambering for the scraps (of the Earth) in the shatter of us collapsed (society) that cuts me with every could have been (species that have died, ideas that will never eventuate etc)'

You can read the whole song and...

What are they waiting for when it's over. Seems foolish. They seem foolish.
