Are We the Waiting Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Starry nights, city lights comin' down over me
Skyscrapers and stargazers in my head
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin' unknown
This dirty town was burnin' down in my dreams
Lost and found, city-bound in my dreams
[Chorus]
And screamin'
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin'
And screamin'
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin'
[Verse 2]
Forget-me-nots, second thoughts live in isolation
Heads or tails, fairytales in my mind
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin' unknown
The rage and love, the story of my life
The Jesus of Suburbia is a lie
[Chorus]
And screamin'
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin'
And screamin'
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin' unknown
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin'
And screamin'
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin' unknown
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin' unknown
[Verse 1]
Starry nights, city lights comin' down over me
Skyscrapers and stargazers in my head
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin' unknown
This dirty town was burnin' down in my dreams
Lost and found, city-bound in my dreams
[Chorus]
And screamin'
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin'
And screamin'
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin'
[Verse 2]
Forget-me-nots, second thoughts live in isolation
Heads or tails, fairytales in my mind
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin' unknown
The rage and love, the story of my life
The Jesus of Suburbia is a lie
[Chorus]
And screamin'
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin'
And screamin'
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin' unknown
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin'
And screamin'
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin' unknown
Are we we are, are we we are the waitin' unknown
About
Genius Annotation
Coming from the gloomy “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”, “Are We The Waiting” is a soliloquy where Jesus of Suburbia meditates his current state. It is a slow paced song with pounding drums that, with its lyrics, showcases how our main character is starting to lose his mind. It follows the same theme of loneliness as the previous track and shows how Jesus feels lost in the city he has run to.
