I Will Find My Own Fire

Hercules & Love Affair “I Can’t Wait”

I had an epiphany the other day about how feeling impatient and dissatisfied in the present tense only seems to make the things you’re waiting for come to you later than you’d like because it keeps you from focusing on what you need to do to get whatever it is that you want. This song is not about that, though. The lyrics are specific to relationships, and the woman singing is at the point where she just can’t handle waiting around for things to work out with someone that she loves. You don’t get a lot of concrete details here, but even though she seems exhausted and frustrated, I don’t really believe her when implies that she is giving up on this person. If anything, she’s just trying to give herself a break. There’s a lot more love in this song than resignation.

Also, this not a Nu Shooz cover. Sorry!
