Wasted
Wasted Wisdom and Unspoken Goodbyes: A Song's Soulful Reflection
Lyrics
Singing, do, do, do, do, do, do
Repetition of "do" in singing, possibly representing a carefree or casual expression.
Do, do, do, do
Continuation of the casual, carefree singing.
If you had eyes like golden crowns and
If you possessed extraordinary qualities like eyes resembling golden crowns and fingertips adorned with diamonds.
Diamonds in your fingertips
Emphasizing the remarkable qualities in a metaphorical sense.
You'd waste it
The suggestion that even with such extraordinary attributes, one might squander or not fully appreciate them.
If shining wisdom passed your lips and
If profound wisdom comes from you and reaches the divine, it might be wasted.
Traveled to the ears of God
Describing the potential for wisdom to be lost or unappreciated.
You'd waste it
Expressing regret or disappointment in the potential for wasting exceptional qualities.
And so I hate you're overrated
Expressing dissatisfaction with someone being excessively praised or valued.
Most revered and celebrated
Highlighting the person's elevated status that is deemed excessive.
Because you'll waste it, yeah
Reiterating the notion that the person will waste their qualities despite being highly regarded.
Then again, it's good to get a call
Expressing the positive aspect of occasionally receiving a call just to say hello.
Now and then just to say, hello
Expressing a dislike for farewells and partings.
Have I said, "I hate to see you go"?
Questioning if the speaker has conveyed their reluctance to see the person leave.
I hate to see you go
Reiterating the dislike for someone's departure.
But ever time you close a door
Reflecting on missed opportunities or failed outcomes when one door closes without another opening.
And nothing opens in its place
Highlighting the concept of wasted potential or opportunities.
You've wasted
Reiterating the theme of wasted opportunities.
And when you speak the words you know
When you express knowledge to those who understand, it might be undervalued or unappreciated.
To those who know the words themselves
Emphasizing the importance of the audience's comprehension of spoken words.
You're wasted
Suggesting that expressing wisdom to the right audience may still be wasted.
You're such a classic waste of cool
Describing the person as a traditional or typical waste of potential or talent.
So afraid to break the rules
Being overly cautious and adhering to rules in the wrong contexts.
In all the wrong places
Criticizing the person for misplacing their adherence to rules.
But then again, it's good to get a call
Repetition of the positive aspect of receiving occasional calls.
Now and then just to say, hello
Repeating the sentiment of disliking goodbyes and farewells.
Have I said how I hate to see you go?
Reiterating the reluctance to see the person leave.
I hate to see you go
Expressing displeasure at the prospect of someone's departure.
But then again, it's good to get a call
Reiteration of the positive aspect of receiving calls to say hello.
Now and then just to say hello
Repeating the sentiment of disliking farewells and goodbyes.
Have I said, "I hate to see you go?"
Reiterating the speaker's reluctance to see the person go.
I hate to see you go
Expressing dislike for the departure of the person.
Singing, do, do, do, do, do, do
Repetition of the casual, carefree singing.
Do, do, do, do
Continuation of the casual, carefree singing.
Singing, do, do, do, do, do, do
Repetition of the casual, carefree singing.
Do, do, do, do
Continuation of the casual, carefree singing.
