I'll Be Waiting

Cian Ducrot's song 'I'll Be Waiting' is a poignant ballad that delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship on the brink of ending. The lyrics express the narrator's deep sense of loss and longing as their partner appears to be leaving, both physically and emotionally. The opening lines set the scene with a partner who is packing up and moving on, symbolizing the end of their shared life and the beginning of their separation.

The chorus of the song is a powerful declaration of unwavering loyalty and hope. Despite the apparent end of the relationship, the narrator holds onto the possibility of reconciliation, offering an open door if their partner ever wishes to return. The repetition of 'If you ever wanna...' followed by various scenarios such as falling in love again, making things right, or changing their mind, emphasizes the narrator's readiness to forgive and restart the relationship. This sentiment reflects a deep emotional attachment and a willingness to wait indefinitely for the partner's return.

The song also touches on the theme of personal growth and the challenges that come with it. The line 'Guess with all the climbing, you tired and you fell out of love' suggests that the partner's journey of self-discovery or ambition may have led them away from the relationship. However, the narrator remains hopeful that this journey will eventually lead their partner back to them. 'I'll Be Waiting' is a testament to the resilience of love and the strength it takes to hold onto it, even when the future is uncertain.
