Waste My Time
Time's Grip: Struggle Between Love and Freedom
Lyrics
Lord I believe in two things
Expressing belief in two fundamental things.
Freedom to stay
Belief in the freedom to stay.
Freedom to leave
Belief in the freedom to leave.
Uncertainty ain't my disease
Rejecting uncertainty as a personal affliction.
I got what I want
Claiming possession of desires.
I got what you need
Asserting availability for others' needs.
She's my dark side
Describing someone as a dark side and selfish greed.
My selfish greed
Highlighting personal desires and self-centeredness.
A spider weaving web through my dreams
Metaphorically describing a person as a spider influencing dreams.
I took the shots
Having experienced challenges and consequences.
I paid the fee
Indicating a financial transaction or cost paid.
I took the recommended dose
Having followed prescribed advice but facing consequences.
Now I chase the breeze
Chasing freedom or a carefree existence.
Hey hey momma don't waste my time
Pleading for not wasting time.
I gotta keep moving while the sun still shines
Expressing the urgency to keep moving forward.
Keep shaking me down
Repetition emphasizing being emotionally shaken or manipulated.
Shaking me down
-Shaking me down
-Shaking me down
-Still I stay but I'm holding my breath
Remaining in a situation with apprehension.
This woman I love scares me to death
Fearful feelings towards a loved one.
She's hanging a lead weight from my neck
Metaphorically burdened by a significant challenge in the relationship.
Hanging a lead weight from my neck
-Fuel my fire
Expressing conflicting emotions of passion and hatred.
Ignite my hate
-I had a chance to leave
Regret for not seizing an opportunity to leave earlier.
And I took it too late
-She takes my money
Depicting financial and emotional losses in a relationship.
Takes my house
-Takes everything
-Now I'm gonna drive before she takes my keys
-Hey hey momma don't waste my time
Repetition of the plea not to waste time, emphasizing fear and burden.
I gotta keep moving while the sun still shines
-Keep shaking me down
-Shaking me down
-Shaking me down
-Shaking me down
-Still I stay but I'm holding my breath
-This woman I love scares me to death
-She's hanging a lead weight from my neck
-Hanging a lead weight from my neck
-She say come on to me
Repetition of an invitation to leave.
Come on to me
-Come on to me
-Come on to me
-Come on to me
-Come on to me
-Come on to me
-Come on to me
-I gotta leave
Repetition of the urgent need to leave.
I gotta leave
-I gotta leave
-I gotta leave
-I gotta leave
-I gotta leave
-I gotta leave
-I gotta leave
-Hey hey momma don't waste my time
Repetition of the plea not to waste time, emphasizing fear and burden.
I gotta keep moving while the sun still shines
-Keep shaking me down
-Shaking me down
-Shaking me down
-Shaking me down
-Still I stay but I'm holding my breath
-This woman I love scares me to death
-She's hanging a lead weight from my neck
-Hanging a lead weight from my neck
-She say won't you go
Repetition of the invitation to leave.
Oh come on
-Baby come on
-Come on
-Come on
-Won't you go
