Lyrics
Well I waste my time out in LA,
Expressing a sense of wasting time in Los Angeles.
Don’t go my way,
Feeling that the path chosen is not aligned with personal preferences or goals.
Or make sense to me,
Actions or situations in LA don't make sense to the speaker.
And I lose my mind,
Experiencing a loss of mental clarity or composure.
I can’t unwind,
Unable to relax or calm down.
I waste my time
Continuing to waste time in Los Angeles.
Out in LA
Reiteration of spending unproductive time in LA.
Its not so terrible waking up in the sun, Its a shame I don’t love it like everyone, What I paradise living life in the skies, Is a midnight, wave goodbye kind of high.
Contrasting the supposed beauty of waking up in the sun with a personal lack of appreciation for it. Describing a lifestyle that may seem perfect but is actually unsatisfying, ending in a melancholic farewell.
So I get so high,
Using substances (getting high) to cope with the dissatisfaction or emptiness.
Out in LA
Reaffirming the speaker's state of being in Los Angeles.
That pretty face,
Referring to an attractive face in LA that evokes emotional pain.
Well My heart just breaks.
Expressing the emotional impact of encountering the pretty face.
Well I get tongue tied,
Experiencing difficulty in expressing oneself verbally.
No words to say,
A sense of being speechless or unable to communicate.
I dislocate,
Feeling disconnected or disjointed.
Its not so terrible waking up in the sun, Its a shame I don’t love it like everyone, What I paradise living life in the skies, Is a midnight, wave goodbye kind of high.
Reiteration of the contrast between the external appearance of a perfect life and the internal dissatisfaction, ending in a farewell.
You are my 101 Diner,
Referring to someone or something as a significant part of the speaker's experience in LA.
My only Neon sign yeah,
Describing a neon sign as a symbolic element in the speaker's experience.
Talk to me taxi driver,
Addressing a taxi driver and expressing a desire for them to wait in LA.
Please wait for me out in LA…
Requesting patience or understanding in the context of staying in Los Angeles.
So I get so high,
Reiterating the use of substances to cope with emotions or circumstances in LA.
Out in LA
Emphasizing the speaker's elevated state while in Los Angeles.
That pretty face,
Referring again to the impact of a pretty face in LA.
Well My heart just breaks.
Repeating the emotional response to encountering the attractive face.
Well I get tongue tied,
Reiterating difficulty in verbal expression or communication.
No words to say,
Highlighting the absence of words to convey feelings or thoughts.
I dislocate,
Reiterating a sense of disconnection or dislocation.
Way way out, out in LA
Stating the location (LA) as the source of the speaker's experiences.
