Wait a Minute!
WILLOW Willow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I left my conscience on your front doorstep
Oh, oh, wait a minute
I think I left my consciousness in the 6th dimension
But I'm here right now (right now), right now (right now)
Just sitting in a cloud, oh wow
I'm here right now (right now)
Right now with you, oh wow, oh wow
I'll run my hands through your hair
You wanna run your fingers through mine
But my dreads too thick and that's alright
Hold on, wait a minute
Feel my heart's intention, oh
Hold on, wait a minute
I left my consciousness in the 6th dimension
Left my soul in his vision
Let's go get it, oh, oh
Let's go get it, oh, oh
Some tings don't work
Some tings are bound to be
Some tings, they hurt
And they tear apart me
You left your diary at my house
And I read those pages, do you really love me, baby?
Some tings don't work
Some tings are bound to be
Some tings, they hurt
And they tear apart me
But I broke my word, and you were bound to see
And I cried at the curb
When you first said, "Oel ngati kameie"
Hold on, wait a minute (oh)
Feel my heart's intention, oh
Hold on, wait a minute
I left my consciousness in the 6th dimension
Left my soul in his vision
Let's go get it, oh, oh
Let's go get it, oh, oh
Some people like to live
Some just tryin' to get by
Some people like that hurt, ohh
Some just rather say goodbye, bye
Hold on, wait a minute
Feel my heart's intention, oh
Hold on, wait a minute
I left my consciousness in the 6th dimension
Left my soul in his vision
Let's go get it, oh, oh
Let's go get it, oh, oh
(Let's go get it, ooh)
(Let's go get it, ooh)
In "Wait a Minute!" by WILLOW, the singer is both introspective and longing for connection. The first two lines of the song suggest that she may have done something she regrets and left her "conscience" and "consciousness" somewhere else, perhaps with a lover she's just left. In the chorus, she sings "Hold on, wait a minute, feel my heart's intention," which suggests that she's hoping her current love interest can sense her feelings, intentions, and the depth of emotion she's trying to convey.
While the exact meaning behind the lyrics is open to interpretation, it appears that the song reflects the complexity of human emotions and the ups and downs of a relationship. The song's instrumentation, characterized by dreamy and hazy electronic sounds and eerie backing vocals, matches this mood. As the song progresses, WILLOW muses about some things that work and some that don't, the pain associated with leaving or being left, and the various ways people deal with their feelings. By the end of the song, she appears ready to move on and start fresh with the person she's singing to.
Overall, "Wait a Minute!" is an ethereal and deeply introspective song that speaks to the complexities of human emotions, love, and relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
Wait a minute
I need a moment to collect myself
I think I left my conscience on your front doorstep
I feel guilty for my actions when I'm with you
Oh, oh, wait a minute
Hold on, I'm not ready to move on just yet
I think I left my consciousness in the 6th dimension
My mind is in a different place
But I'm here right now (right now), right now (right now)
I am physically present in this moment
Just sitting in a cloud, oh wow
I feel disconnected from reality
Right now with you, oh wow, oh wow
But I am enjoying being with you
I don't even care
I am not concerned about the consequences of my actions
I'll run my hands through your hair
I will show affection despite my emotional detachment
You wanna run your fingers through mine
You want to connect with me emotionally
But my dreads too thick and that's alright
But I am not ready for that level of intimacy
Feel my heart's intention, oh
Understand the real reason behind my actions
Left my soul in his vision
I am still emotionally attached to someone else
Let's go get it, oh, oh
But I want to move forward and leave the past behind
Some things don't work
Some relationships are not meant to be
Some things are bound to be
While others are destined to happen
Some things, they hurt
Some situations cause emotional pain
And they tear apart me
And I am struggling to cope with that pain
You left your diary at my house
I have been given insight into your personal thoughts and feelings
And I read those pages, do you really love me, baby?
And I am questioning the authenticity of your love
But I broke my word, and you were bound to see
But I have betrayed your trust and it is inevitable that you will find out
And I cried at the curb
And I felt the weight of my actions when I was alone
When you first said, "Oel ngati kameie"
When you first expressed your love to me in a unique way
Some people like to live
Some people enjoy life to the fullest
Some just tryin' to get by
While others are just trying to survive
Some people like that hurt, ohh
Some people thrive on emotional pain
Some just rather say goodbye, bye
While others prefer to walk away from toxic situations
Let's go get it, oh, oh
Let's work towards healing and growth
(Let's go get it, ooh)
(Let's go get it, ooh)
