Fugazi - Waiting room | Cris 講師コラム

I love music and can listen to the same song on repeat. I have been recently I have been listening to often is an older song called Waiting room.
I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time, water down a drain

Everybody's moving
Everybody's moving
Everybody's moving, moving, moving, moving
Please don't leave me to remain

In the waiting room
I don't want the news
I cannot use it
I don't want the news
I won't live by it
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
Tell me why?
Because they can't get up
Come on and get up
Come on and get up

But I don't sit idly by
I'm planning a big surprise
I'm gonna fight for what I wanna be
And I won't make the same mistakes ('cause I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes (and function)
Function is the key

To the waiting room
I don't want the news
I cannot use it
I don't want the news
I won't live by it
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
Tell me why?
Because they can't get up
Come on and get up
Up from the waiting room

Sitting in the waiting room (ah)
Sitting in the waiting room (ah)
Sitting in the waiting room (ah)
Sitting in the waiting room (tell me why)
Because they can't get up

The song talks about being in a waiting room meaning their life is going nowhere. While they wait others are moving. They're living their lives while he is stuck in life. While waiting with other people who are stuck in their life he is planning to break free by making changes.

It's a bit of a motivational song to keep moving forward in life and for many including myself, it is very pertinent.
But I don't sit idly by
I'm planning a big surprise
I'm gonna fight for what I wanna be

This is something I reflect on and try to move forward with my plans. Motivation is good but determination is the key to moving forward.
Songs like this help to remind me of the determination I need to move forward.
I hope you enjoy it.
