Wasting Time
Emotional Turmoil Unleashed: Park Street Riot's 'Wasting Time' Revelations
Lyrics
Today I run on rage and hate and caffeine
Expressing the current emotional state fueled by anger, hatred, and caffeine.
Think of all the time I've been wasting
Reflecting on the time that has been wasted.
Today I remember the words and the way that I cried
Recalling past experiences, particularly moments of crying, and contemplating the time spent in pursuit.
And think of all the time I was just chasing
Considering the duration spent in pursuit, possibly realizing it was futile.
I hung around, It's my own fault
Acknowledging personal responsibility for lingering or staying in a situation.
Your honied tones won't sooth me now
Rejecting comforting words or assurances from someone.
You've done me in, you've set me up
Feeling betrayed or deceived, being set up by someone.
You don't care, you don't give a fuck
Perceiving indifference from the other person, a lack of concern.
Acting the fool, playing the part
Engaging in foolish behavior, possibly to cope with the situation.
Performing so convincingly
Acting convincingly, possibly to hide true feelings or to conform to expectations.
Acting the only way I knew
Being true to oneself but recognizing it may not have been the best approach.
Everyday I wake up feeling sick
Starting each day with a negative emotional state.
Was in the booze in the bottle or just the thought of you
Questioning if the source of discomfort is substances or thoughts about someone.
Everyday that goes by seems so quick
Perceiving time as passing quickly in general.
But every second that passes without you seems so slow
Feeling time slow down when not in the presence of a particular person.
I hung around, It's my own fault
Reiterating personal responsibility for remaining in a situation.
Your honied tones won't sooth me now
Rejecting any attempts at comfort from the other person.
You've done me in, you've set me up
Feeling deceived or manipulated by the other person.
You don't care, you don't give a fuck
Perceiving a lack of empathy or concern from the other person.
Acting the fool, playing the part
Continuing to engage in behavior that may not be beneficial.
Performing so convincingly
Acting convincingly, possibly to maintain appearances or cope with the situation.
Acting the only way I knew
Being authentic in a way that might not be conducive to positive outcomes.
All the time, the time I've been wasting
Reflecting on the significant amount of time that has been wasted.
Energy spent and left on the pavement
Exhausting energy on something with no positive outcome.
You don't need to mind me anymore
Expressing a desire for the other person not to bother anymore.
It's over and I don't bother with pretty things
Acknowledging the end of the relationship and a disinterest in superficial or attractive things.
Who come along just to waste my time
Being cautious of people who may enter one's life with the intention of wasting time.
I hung around, It's my own fault
Reiterating personal responsibility for remaining in a situation.
Your honied tones won't sooth me now
Rejecting comforting words or assurances from someone.
You've done me in, you've set me up
Feeling deceived or manipulated by the other person.
You don't care, you don't give a fuck
Perceiving indifference from the other person, a lack of concern.
Acting the fool, playing the part
Engaging in foolish behavior, possibly to cope with the situation.
Performing so convincingly
Acting convincingly, possibly to hide true feelings or to conform to expectations.
Acting the only way I knew
Being true to oneself but recognizing it may not have been the best approach.
