Wasted
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in 'Wasted' by Rusty Workman
Lyrics
Let it fade, another sleepless night
Expressing a desire to let go and move on, acknowledging a night without rest.
Spinning wheels to while away the time
Engaging in unproductive activities to pass the time, possibly reflecting on life.
I watch the phone as though it had some feelings
Ascribing emotions to an inanimate object (phone), suggesting anticipation and emotional connection.
Wondering if I'll hear from you again
Questioning the possibility of receiving communication from a significant other.
I was never ready for the fall
Admitting unpreparedness for a significant event or emotional setback.
A bit too quick to think I had it all
Realizing the speed of life and the premature assumption of having everything.
Searching 'round for something worth believing
Actively seeking something meaningful to believe in.
Something just to make me feel alive
Yearning for experiences or emotions that make life feel worthwhile.
And I know it's only on the inside
Acknowledging that the essence of these feelings exists internally.
It's only dreaming, any way you do
Recognizing that dreams and internal experiences are the only reality.
And all that time looking for a reason
Reflecting on the time spent searching for a purpose or meaning.
It's only wasted
Stating that the time spent was not productive or meaningful.
It's only wasted
Reiterating that the time invested was wasted.
It's getting tired, reaching out for me
Describing a feeling of weariness in reaching out or connecting with others.
Or reaching in, to make it real for you
Highlighting the effort to make experiences feel real, possibly for oneself or someone else.
And I thought, I thought that we had more, my friend
Expressing a belief that there was more in a relationship or situation than what actually existed.
But maybe I just got it wrong this time
Considering the possibility of misinterpreting the situation or having unrealistic expectations.
And I know it's only on the inside
Reiterating that the true essence is internal, emphasizing the subjective nature of experiences.
It's only dreaming, anything we do
Acknowledging that all actions or dreams only exist within oneself.
And all that time looking for a reason
Reflecting on the time spent searching for a reason or purpose.
It's only wasted
Reiterating that the time invested was wasted, possibly with a sense of regret.
I'm only wasted
Acknowledging a state of being wasted, which can imply physical or emotional intoxication.
