This is a song about feeling tired and about how no one is doing anything about climate change because no one truly cares about each other. It also makes references to religion and faith, talking about personal justifications for bad behavior but collective failure.
lyrics
Under neuralgia,
Ibrahim of finding my faith
Losing all this
Ankles in the tide
In the August light
Think I fell in love with the color Jade
To you, so blue, colors Jade
Our eyes got big, what was sacrificed
Looking for the green
How long will we wait?
...
How long will we wait for each other (x3)
How hot
Little God
Killer pause
You keep on taking contracts you keep breaking
Don't you hear my baby down below the reservoirs
How long will we wait? (x2)

saw Thundercat for the first time recently - truly a GOAT of live performers. this album is him in his most honest, focused, and emotional state, and it beautifully intertwines his silly artistic voice with his stories of struggle and loss. the album is short and sweet - BUT, if you want to see him and his friends jam a little longer on these ideas, definitely see him live. the dude literally practices like Coltrane and it shows. zilla
