| SkysFallen's interpretation seems to work well. The title "Waiting for the heavenes" seems to infer that he's pretty much now just waiting for death, he's calling out to God to help him because he feels so screwed up about somthing that happened "darkest hour". he goes onto say that the worlds in pain its screwed up, and nothings being done because HGod lives ina big fluffy cloud and does jack about anything, hasnt experinced what being human is like. 1 | |

| call me dumb, but i think this song is about the writer calling out for God because hes in so much pain, and telling God he doesnt understand because hes never been there, never lived life like we do...i dunno..maybe i overanalyze | |

| hm, nice one SkysFallen! Overanalyzing is a good thing, in my opinion. Yeah, it's quite possible, he also starts with 'God' obviously. It could also be about some other authority figure, like the government officials looking down on you, or just someone who hasn't known rough times and can't understand the way you feel. This wouldn't necessarily (sp?) have to be God. | |
