Wasting My Time
Love's Haunting Echoes: Save The Lost Boys' Wasting My Time Unveiled
Lyrics
As time passes all I hear is silence
Expressing the passage of time accompanied by a sense of emptiness or lack of communication.
but the memories I have speak volumes like violence
Memories are powerful and impactful, even if they are silent; they can be as intense as violence.
Your laugh your smile your eyes so bright
Highlighting positive aspects of the person's memory - laughter, smile, and bright eyes.
like the time we kissed and I died inside.
Recalling a significant moment (kiss) that had a profound emotional impact, causing inner turmoil.
On and on and on
Repetition of the idea that the memories persist ('on and on'), and the speaker is aware of the person even beyond death.
I see you
-On and on and on
-From beyond the grave
-On and on and on
-It kills me to hear that you’re doing fine
-It’s exhausting I’m wasting my time.
Expressing frustration and weariness, feeling that efforts and emotions invested are futile.
It’s exhausting I’m wasting my time.
Reiteration of the exhaustion and realization that time is being wasted.
Life has taught me so many lessons
Acknowledging the lessons learned from life, but the emotional connection to the person remains.
yet your picture still sits framed on my dresser
Despite learning, a picture of the person is still prominently displayed, emphasizing the emotional attachment.
Like a ghost from my past that I’m standing beside
Comparing the person to a ghost from the past, symbolizing an unresolved emotional presence.
I’m holding on to something that I never will find
Holding onto something unattainable, acknowledging the impossibility of finding it.
Like the time we kissed and I died inside
Revisiting the impactful kiss that left a lasting emotional scar.
On and on and on
Repetition of the persistent presence and the emotional struggle of hearing about the person's well-being.
I see you
-On and on and on
-From beyond the grave
-On and on and on
-It kills me to hear that you’re doing fine
-It’s exhausting I’m wasting my time.
Reiterating the emotional exhaustion and the feeling of wasting time.
I’m staring up at the ceiling now
Describing the physical and mental exhaustion, contemplating and questioning past actions.
Need some time to think it out
-I’m always falling it’s so exhausting
-I’m wired like a machine for this
-was there something I could’ve missed
-I’m always falling it’s so exhausting
-On and on and on
Reiteration of the ongoing emotional struggle and the impact of the person's well-being on the speaker.
I see you
-On and on and on
-From beyond the grave
-On and on and on
-It kills me to hear that you’re doing fine
-On and on and on
Continued repetition of the emotional turmoil caused by the persistent memories and the person's supposed well-being.
I see you
-On and on and on
-From beyond the grave
-On and on and on

-It’s exhausting I’m wasting my time.
Final acknowledgment of the exhausting nature of the emotional struggle and the perceived waste of time.
