Fireflight – For Those Who Wait

• 0
  My Interpretation:To me this song is talking about how we must struggle or at least have dedication. I believe you must have endurance in whatever it is you are doing to succeed, whether it is getting to heaven, accomplishing a goal, or (something this song really expresses for me) being abstinent until marriage.
  Even to non-Christians this song carries important lessons on dedication, persistence, and patience.

  General Comment:to me this song means that for those who are patient and enduring, there is something waiting for them in return.
  
  Such as, in the music video, there is a young woman who loves playing the violin. She has an abusive father (to which words do not describe how unjust that is) but she endures and waits, in return she is given the opportunity to play for composers. Something that she loves, or something she is talented at.
  
  same for christians, we wait for something entirely better than this life.

  Song Meaning:The meaning for this song for me is the people who are gonna be saved. Who are waiting to hear the Gospel because they don't know yet. The reason why christians are still on this earth. To spread the message of Jesus.

  General Comment:i think its about waiting for love to come to you and leaning on God when you get lonely waiting for him/her to show up. i also think that it has a little to do with waiting to have sex maybe?
  
  The pressure makes us stronger
  The struggle makes us hunger
  The hard lessons make the difference
  
  thats the vibe i get from this verse.
  thats just what i think though :)

    That is what this song means to me. I am 19 and still a virgin, people make fun of me and I have been tested, but this song keeps me going to wait for my wife.
    
    When you're fighting to believe
    In a love that you can't see
    Just know there is a purpose
    For those who wait
    
    This part, “believe in a love you can’t see” is talking about a strong marriage where when things get hard, you don’t just divorce. This means a lot to me because my parent split and there are so many failing marriages. I want to believe that I can have a marriage built on God.
    
    The pressure makes us stronger
    The struggle makes us hunger
    The hard lessons make the difference
    And the difference makes it worth it
    
    This part is about the pressure of being single/virgin. In this day, it is hard to find people fighting for the same goal of having a wife and staying pure for her.
    
    So we sing a lullaby
    To the lonely hearts tonight
    Let it set your heart on fire
    Let it set you free
    
    At times, it is very hard and being in college does not help. Many times I just have to take a walk at night and talk to God about how I feel and how hard it is. But I want to wait for my wife and stay strong, because in the end, it will be more beautiful and fulfilling than anything else.

  Song Meaning:I think the song means for those who are going through hard times and they need help from someone, waiting for someone to help them, waiting on God to help them and once He did, everything seems to make a lot of sense.
  
  The pressure makes us stronger
  The struggle makes us hunger
  The hard lessons make the difference
  
  That part of the song has to be my favorite because if something bad happens to you there is always a purpose to it and that purpose could be that our faith needs to be strengthened.

  General Comment:This is my second favorite song on the new album. I'm seeing a theme in the newer songs by Fireflight.
  I believe that this song could have several different meanings.
  
  For me, it is about waiting for God. It's waiting for the promises He gives us, and waiting for the appearance of seeing Him. "When you're fighting to believe in a love that you can't see" means so much to me. While we can't see God, and it's frustrating and disheartening at times... especially when non-believers are trying to break down your beliefs. Despite all of that, there IS a purpose for those who wait on God.
  
  Another interpretation could be waiting on the "love of your life" to show up in your life. Waiting, as in, saving yourself for marriage... I could definitely see that message in it.
  
  But like I said, I'm leaning more towards the message of doubting and the fear that the One you are so desperately in love with isn't there. Which isn't true at all. He is there and He loves us.
  
  God bless you all. :)

    My thoughts exactly. I really like the new album; all of the music is awesome! This is probably my favorite song, maybe second to Desperate or What I've Overcome.
