Wasted
[Мачо и Ботан 2]Tiësto feat. Matthew Koma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to fake it
The only time we really talk
Is when our clothes are coming off
I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
I like us better when we're wasted
Oh oh oh oh

You are a glass half empty
Sipping my ocean dry
Emotionally spent me
Til none of our planets could align
But I could stand you one more night

I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
I like us better when we're wasted
Oh oh oh oh

You are a catch 22
Either way I miss out
All of the grief I'd give you
Is energy I can live without
But I could stand you one more night

I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
I like us better when we're wasted
Oh oh oh oh

I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead




I like us better when we're wasted
Oh oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Wasted" by Tiesto featuring Matthew Koma is a reflection of a relationship that is going downhill, and the only way the couple can still connect and relate is when they are both intoxicated. It's a love-hate relationship where they keep on coming back to each other despite the emotional turmoil and unhappiness it brings. The opening lines "I like us better when we're wasted, it makes it easier to fake it" implies that they don't need to pretend to be happy when they are both drunk. They can be honest with each other and express their true feelings without hesitation.


The line "The only time we really talk is when our clothes are coming off" reveals that their intimacy is the only time they communicate with each other, and it's not a healthy way of resolving conflicts or understanding each other's emotions. The second verse describes the emotional baggage that comes with the relationship, as Koma sings "You are a catch 22, either way I miss out, all of the grief I'd give you is energy I can live without." It shows that the relationship is draining and full of complications, but at the same time, he can't live without her.


Overall, the song portrays a love that is twisted, unhealthy and dependent on alcohol. It's a catchy song with upbeat music that masks the underlying unhappiness and difficulties of the relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

I like us better when we're wasted
I prefer how we act when we're drunk


It makes it easier to fake it
Being drunk makes it easier to pretend


The only time we really talk
Our only meaningful conversations happen when we're naked


Is when our clothes are coming off
We only communicate during sex


Lay all your laundry on the bed
Tell me all of your secrets


And then I'll lay in it instead
I'll comfort you and take on your problems


You are a glass half empty
You have a negative outlook on life


Sipping my ocean dry
You drain my energy and happiness


Emotionally spent me
You drain me emotionally


Til none of our planets could align
We're too different to ever fully understand each other


But I could stand you one more night
I can handle being with you for one more night


You are a catch 22
Either way, I lose


Either way I miss out
No matter what I do, I won't win


All of the grief I'd give you
The emotional pain I would cause you


Is energy I can live without
I don't want to deal with causing you pain

Took me years to find. Couldn't remember the name of the song or the artist. Had to go to greatest songs and got lucky with the year.
