You have things you love and things that make you proud. You may not always recognize when you're doing things right. You're overly future-focused and forgot about present needs.Įven though you can see when you made mistakes, It's unfortunately the life you're living. You can't accomplish everything before your time comes.Įven if you are living on the edge tonight for thrills, When will you understand that Vienna (life) has time for you? You can either achieve your desires or simply get older. You better cool it off before you burn it outīut only a limited amount of time each day. What's the rush? Why are you in such a hurry? Where's the fire? What's the hurry about? If you're intelligent like you claim to be, You have high aspirations for someone so young. Overall, "Vienna Waits for You" is a reminder to the youth to not hurry through life, to find the balance between work and play, and to take time out to truly experience and enjoy life. The line "Too bad, but it's the life you lead" reflects the reality of life, and that it's important to find balance between ambition and living in the moment. The second verse continues to encourage the youth to slow down and enjoy their life as it is now, rather than rushing towards adulthood too quickly. The singer warns that you will "kick off" before you even get halfway through life, and asks when they will realize that Vienna (symbolizing life) waits for them. The chorus of the song discusses how time is fleeting and how soon you can lose your youth. The line "You're so ambitious for a juvenile" reflects how many young people feel the pressure to succeed and achieve before they are out of their teenage years. The song opens with the singer telling the young person to slow down, as they have so much to live for and should not be in a hurry to grow up. The song "Vienna Waits for You" by Billy Joel is a message of wisdom to the youth to not hurry to grow up too soon and to allow themselves to take a break and enjoy their youth before it's too late. It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while You've got your passion, you've got your prideīut don't you know that only fools are satisfied?ĭream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh You know you can't always see when you're right, you're right You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need You can't be everything you wanna be before your timeĪlthough it's so romantic on the borderline tonight When will you realize Vienna waits for you? You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh That you can get what you want or you can just get old
