Wait Dont Jump by Look What I Did Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2015

Zanzibar: "Wait up on your feet. Wait, dont jump the beat."

Zanzibar begins spinning a fabricated tale in which he tries to convince Sebastian not to commit suicide

Zanzibar: "...And it was the perfect night to slip in the crowd and disappear until you pull this shit. I know you want to believe in something, and I care enough to speak up now and not let you look like an asshole."

The mob seems suspicious and begins grumbling. Zanzibar continues to urge caution

Zanzibar: "Wait, don't move your feet. Wait, don't jump the beat."

Zanzibar fictionalizes a story in which Sebastian jumps to his death

Zanzibar: "He was on the ledge. He was leaning forward. He fell. I know he wanted to believe in something, and I cared enough to speak up then to try and stop this from happening."

The crowd doesn't buy Zanzibar's lies and begins moving towards him

Zanzibar: "Wait. Don't move your feet. Wait, you're coming t'wards me."

A protester angrily responds

Protester: "We don't buy it anymore. We think you're lying to us again. You're always lying to us, man. Silence! We won't take this! You murdered our hero! We vote no confidence! Take five paces! You'll need them!"
The protester turns to the angry mob

Protester: "Attention! This is the last straw! A war you must want! A war you will get. Charge him! This is our will. There will be no trial. He must not live. We will kill Zanzibar!"

The crowd joins in chorus to show support for the conflict with Zanzibar
