Song Meaning of “Waiting Around To Die” by The Be Good Tanyas
Waiting Around To Die is a somber lament of a man stuck in a cycle of despair and loneliness. He is stuck in a space of inactivity, feeling like his life has no purpose. All he can do is wait around to die, to pass the time until the end. His friends and family have abandoned him, leaving him to fend for himself. He is at loss for hope and struggles to find meaning in anything. He feels condemned to this life and ponders all the choices he could have made that would have brought him joy and satisfaction. He is left with nothing but despair as he waits for life to end.
