Wastes Of
Wandering Through Time: Life's Million Bluffs and Cosmic Dust
Lyrics
Backs to the grass like we share it
People turning their backs, possibly sharing a moment of contemplation or leisure.
Boats idle with no place to be
Boats with no specific destination, suggesting a lack of purpose or direction.
So much to do, so much time to do it
Abundance of tasks and ample time available to accomplish them.
So time rides the back of the breeze
Time moving swiftly and effortlessly, akin to the wind.
Good luck finding a matching sock if you don't sort your shit
An admonishment to organize one's belongings for practicality.
Many laundry days spent on thinking over things
Reflecting on life during laundry sessions, contemplating various aspects.
Hope the best's ahead cause Sunday brings
Hope for a better future expressed on Sundays, traditionally a day of rest.
A day of rest, from wasting time
Valuing time and avoiding its wasteful consumption.
All the best
A casual expression of goodwill and best wishes.
I'm doing fine, hope you're living good, I'll see you when I do
A reassurance about personal well-being and a casual promise to meet in the future.
Hours don't grow in my spring
Time doesn't wait, emphasizing the fleeting nature of moments.
Catch 12 in bloom, I'm rushing
Reference to the rapid growth of nature in spring, juxtaposed with personal haste.
On loan from botanical
Objects borrowed or temporarily acquired from the botanical world.
In my yard for the afternoon
Possession of natural elements in a personal space for a brief period.
It goes fast, we go fast for it
A reminder of the swift passage of time and the urgency to seize opportunities.
Blink and you're dead, no bargaining
A stark statement about the rapid and unforgiving nature of life.
Hermes at the pump, Chronos on the dial
Mythological references (Hermes, Chronos) hinting at the inevitability of time.
Charge my card for an extra mile
Monetary transaction for additional experiences or time.
Alright grab a piece of this, not my goal but good enough
Acceptance of a situation that may not be the ultimate goal but is deemed satisfactory.
I know what you meant when you said life is just a million bluffs
Understanding the deceptive nature of life, filled with uncertainties and bluffs.
Wind came, wind went, leaving clouds of cosmic dust
Natural elements (wind, cosmic dust) symbolizing transient experiences.
Invest in ash, pick up any piece you want
Investing in the aftermath, possibly finding value in the remains of experiences.
Life goin' fast, sped up around the time I turned twenty
A reflection on the acceleration of life with the passage of time.
Not tryna' be last, not waiting 'till you decide I'm worth it
A determination to avoid being left behind or undervalued.
Quit livin' like trash, or the city will throw you out on Monday
Urgency to improve one's lifestyle to avoid negative consequences.
Life forgot who it's dealin' with, point of no return, I speed ahead
A commitment to moving forward, even when life seems unpredictable.
I stay awake longer so the moon's out longer than ever before
Extended wakefulness to experience more of life, especially during moonlit nights.
It's not so hard to waste time, not any harder than keeping a bed time
Comparing the ease of wasting time to the challenge of maintaining a bedtime routine.
Wake up later, stay up longer
An intention to alter the daily routine by waking up later and staying awake longer.
Be productive and work harder

I'm gonna own that look
