The Time You Wait

The song 'The Time You Wait' by The Pilgrim delves into themes of waiting, personal struggle, and the pursuit of dreams against the backdrop of life's challenges. The lyrics oscillate between moments of introspection and a call to action, suggesting a narrative of personal growth and resilience. The repeated references to 'the time you wait' and 'the time I wait' highlight a central theme of patience and the passage of time, which is often filled with both anticipation and frustration.

The imagery used in the song, such as 'the waters gone, The Sun deceased,' and 'the sea we swim is dark indeed,' paints a picture of a challenging, sometimes bleak environment. These metaphors may represent life's hardships that the protagonist and the listener must navigate. The mention of 'the wine you drink, the shit we eat' further emphasizes the dissatisfaction with current circumstances, yet there's a continuous effort to 'build your dreams,' suggesting an undying hope and effort to rise above the difficulties.

The emotional tone of the song shifts between despair, defiance, and determination. Phrases like 'I know we're fucked, You piss me off' and 'You're free to lie, I know your ways' indicate a deep-seated frustration and conflict, possibly within personal relationships or with oneself. However, the recurring line 'It's not too late to save your life' serves as a powerful reminder of self-empowerment and the possibility of change, reinforcing the song's message of not giving up on one's aspirations despite the odds.
