“waiting in the weeds”——Eagles 这首歌是在表达什么观点，是在什么历史背景条件下写下的这首经典？

It's comin' on the end of August
Another summer's promise almost gone
And though I heard some wise man say
That every dog will have his day
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
I don't know when I realized the dream was over
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
You know, it didn't go down in flame
There was no final scene, no frozen frame
I just watched it slowly fade away
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for my time to come around again and
Hope is floating on the breeze
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
I've been keepin' to myself
Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing
Even though you're with somebody else
He'll never love you like I do
I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
If finding love is just a dance
Proximity and chance
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the
Back roads running through the fields
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
And I imagine sunlight in your hair
You're at the county fair
You're holding hands and laughing
And now the ferris wheel has stopped
You're swinging on the top
Suspended there with him
And he's the darling of the sheik
The flavor of the week is melting
Down your pretty summer dress
Baby, what a mess you're making
* music *
I've been stumbling through some dark places
Now I'm following the plow
I know I've fallen out of your good graces
It's alright now
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the
Wild birds scattering the seeds
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune
The phases of the moon
The chambers of the heart
The ebb and dart of small gray
Spiders spinning in the dark
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the time to come around again and
Hope is floating on the breeze
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
I've been keepinl to myself
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing
Even though you're with somebody else
He'll never love you like I do

It’s coming on the end of August
八月的日子即将逝去
Another summer’s promise almost gone
又一个夏天的约定即将走远
And though I heard some wise man say
尽管我曾听智者说过
That every dog will have his day
每个人都会有他的幸福
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
但这段等待的日子却是这样的漫长
I don’t know when I realized the dream was over
我不知道什么时候我认识到了梦已经破碎
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
忘记了在哪一天，哪一个小时
You know, it didn’t go down in flame
你知道，热情不会消失
There was no final scene, no frozen frame
没有最后的场景，没有凝固的画面
I just watched it slowly fade away
我只是看着它慢慢地消失
And I’ve been waiting in the weeds
我的心一直在荒芜中等待
Waiting for my time to come around again and
等待我的幸福再次到来
Hope is floating on the breeze
希望在微风中漂浮
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
带着我的灵魂飞向高处
I’ve been keeping to myself
我始终坚持着自己
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing you
相信岁月会慢慢将你改变
And though you’re with somebody else
尽管你在他的身边
He’ll never love you like I do
但我知道他永远不会像我这样爱你
I’ve been biding time with the crows and sparrows
我同乌鸦和麻雀一起熬过了这段时间
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
而孔雀却在台上昂首表演
If finding love is just a dance
如果寻找爱情就像舞会
Proximity and chance
接近然后获得机会
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
你会原谅我逃离这舞会
And I’ve been waiting in the weeds
我的心一直在荒芜中等待
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the back roads running through the fields
等待着尘埃顺着小路穿过旷野慢慢落定
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
最后躺在寂寞城镇的郊外
And I imagine sunlight in your hair
我想象着你发梢的光泽
You’re at the county fair
你在乡村的集市上
You’re holding hands and laughing
你们双手紧握着欢笑
And now the Ferris wheel has stopped
突然摩天轮停止了转动
You’re swinging on the top ，Suspended there with him
你和他一起悬在高空中摇摆
And he’s the darling of the chic
他是漂亮的宠儿
The flavor of the weak is melting down your pretty summer dress, Baby, what a mess you’re making
短暂的风情正熔化你的夏衣，亲爱的，你看起来是多么的糟糕
I’ve been stumbling through some dark places
我一直在黑暗中磕磕绊绊
Now I’m following the plow
现在终于找到了前进的方向
I know I’ve fallen out of your good graces
我知道我已经放下了对你的依恋
It’s alright now
现在没什么了
And I’ve been waiting in the weeds
我的心一直在荒芜中等待
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the wild birds scattering the seeds
等待着夏雨在野鸟身上挥洒下它们的种子
Answering the calling of the tide’s eternal tune
The phases of the moon
The chambers of the heart
The egg and dart
回应着那些永恒的乐章，有如潮汐的起落，有如月亮的圆缺，有如心脏的跳动。。。
A small gray spider spinning in the dark
一只小灰蜘蛛在黑暗中织着网
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart
尽管这张网一直都是破碎不堪
And I’ve been waiting in the weeds
我的心一直在荒芜中等待
Waiting for my time to come around again and
等待我的幸福再次到来
Hope is floating on the breeze
希望在微风中漂浮
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
带着我的灵魂飞向高处
I’ve been keeping to myself
我始终坚持着自己
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing you
相信岁月会慢慢将你改变
And though you’re with somebody else
尽管你在他的身边
He’ll never love you like I do
但我知道他永远不会像我这样爱你

这个貌似是老鹰乐队09年的时候发的一首歌。 我感觉说的是老鹰乐队的表明自己心态的一首歌：这么多年来，老鹰乐队一直在野草中等待着幸运女神再一次降临在自己身上。 翻译的歌词你不要去看了，如果你懂英文的话， 自己仔细揣摩，歌词与心态是对应的。
