We used to wait. One of the biggest changes that has occurred in the past century is the speed of life. Much of our technology has been utilized to make things happen so much faster, so much so that we don't have to wait for much. When Arcade Fire tells us to wait for it, they're saying something we all need to hear. The Bible really has nothing good to say about being in a hurry. In fact, the inability to wait patiently is a kind of lust that tends to lead to trouble. When you're in a hurry, you're out of sync with God. Modern man thinks everything can be made better by making it fast or instant. But God disagrees. God says, wait for it. The Bible says things like, "be still, be at rest, have patience, and wait for God". But the beast of our modern life says things like, "be loud, be upset, demand it now, wait for nothing." If we allow our souls to be conformed to the beast of a superpower culture, we become the most impatient people in history, and it explains why we can't even sleep at night!
