What Poppy, Amy Lee and Courtney LaPlante’s ‘End Of You’ is about
The 2025 collaboration is rooted in strength and solidarity, and its first full live performance turned that shared idea into a three-part entrance.
About This Track
'The Wait' by Poppy is a Metal track from the album 'Empty Hands', released in 2026. The lyrics cast the speaker as restless and time-poor, pushing back against other people’s priorities with anger and a hard-edged sense of shared fallout. There is a recurring preoccupation with impatience, the fear of what can vanish quickly, and the question of whether persistence can soften the fall. One sharp moment lands in the line about having no time, a stance that turns the whole song into a cramped act of refusal and impatience, with rage that never quite resolves.
"The Wait" is a track by Poppy, from the album Empty Hands, released 23rd January 2026. The track is 3:47 long. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Poppy.

The 2025 collaboration is rooted in strength and solidarity, and its first full live performance turned that shared idea into a three-part entrance.

Lyndsey Gunnulfsen explained that PVRIS’ 2024 single traces mismatched love, with its writing and production moving from Kansas City to Los Angeles and Nevada City.

Evanescence’s current European set gives substantial space to ‘Sanctuary’, alongside favourites from across the band’s catalogue. Here’s what has been played, and what not to treat as a guarantee.

From Bad Omens and Knocked Loose to BABYMETAL, Amy Lee and Courtney LaPlante, here’s how Poppy’s collaborations divide between features, shared-vocal singles and songwriting credits.

The trio joined forces during Evanescence’s London show at The O2.
There’s rage, empowerment, peace and giddy joy as Poppy once again shakes things up.
