Don't Let It All Go To Waste
Navigating Life's Ironies: Scott Cameron's Reflection on Relationships and Aspirations
Lyrics
Stained by soot
Feeling tainted or marked by negative experiences
We're burning up in the car lights
Experiencing intensity or pressure, possibly in a relationship
No, I don't need friends, I'm alright
Expressing self-sufficiency and contentment without needing friends
Won't you take an eighth and tell me 'bout your star sign?
Asking someone to share personal information related to astrology
Sorry, I'm not compatible with a Pisces
Rejecting compatibility based on astrological signs (Pisces)
Well, that's fine
Acceptance of the rejection and moving on
At twenty-three, I've got the world at my feet
Feeling confident and successful at the age of 23
Grab the bull by the horns
Taking control of one's life and facing challenges directly
Wait, I lost my keys again
Experiencing a moment of forgetfulness or confusion
Stick on a movie and chill
Suggesting a casual evening watching a movie
Don't take off your clothes yet
Cautioning against moving too quickly in a relationship
I'm still wondering
Expressing curiosity or uncertainty about something
If I'm the one you're trying to get back at your man with
Questioning if the speaker is being used to make someone's ex-partner jealous
Discuss the state of the world, just don't add me
Discouraging involvement in discussions about global issues
For likes and such, giving you a dopamine hit
Criticizing the pursuit of social media validation for dopamine
And you're an addict
Labeling someone as addicted to certain behaviors
Familiar faces with a sense of false complacency
Noting the presence of familiar faces with a false sense of satisfaction
Spit your vitriol then fade, 'cause I'm okay, you see
Encountering negativity but remaining emotionally unaffected
Girl, even though I know how to pace this
Acknowledging the ability to control the pace of a situation
I don't know how far we can take this
Expressing uncertainty about the potential of a relationship
'Cause if we're too close
Questioning the nature of a close relationship and its implications
To be real friends
-Where does that leave me?
-Where does that leave me?
-Hey baby, give me a call, I've got your back, don't you fret
Offering support to someone with assurance
I'll call you later when you're not being a bitch
Expressing frustration with someone's behavior
You getting angry at me won't solve anything
Advising maturity in dealing with issues
So grow up, I'm sick of the childish games
Tired of immaturity and games in interpersonal relationships
This party's boring, gender norms have come to carry you through
Commenting on the dullness of a party and societal expectations
You wanna talk to that boy but he looks better than you
Admiring someone but feeling inferior
Recall a story of failure and how its not too late
Recalling past failures and emphasizing the possibility of redemption
No, I don't wanna listen to your mixtape
Rejecting the idea of listening to someone's music
Now, that's ironic 'cause I'm peddling these songs to you
Ironically acknowledging hypocrisy in promoting songs despite personal challenges
I'm a hypocrite but only want the best for you
Expressing concern for someone's well-being despite personal flaws
Career aspirations falling off the rails for the
Struggling with career aspirations and setbacks
Fourth time in a lifetime
Reflecting on repeated failures in career pursuits
And my hairline's a joke
Making light of personal appearance challenges, such as hairline
I don't sing live, I choke
Humorous reference to potential difficulties in performing live
And I might fall but cope
Admitting to potential setbacks but coping with them
Trying to live on high hopes
Striving to maintain optimism despite challenges
No shame in trying again
Encouraging persistence and resilience
No shame in trying
Emphasizing the value of trying again without shame
'Cause if we're too close
Reiterating the uncertainty about the nature of a close relationship
To be real friends
-Where does that leave me?
-Where does that leave me?
-Don't let it all
Urging against wasting opportunities and experiences
Don't let it all go
-Don't let it all
-Don't let it all go
-Don't let it all
-Don't let it all go
-Don't let it all
-Don't let it all go to waste
