Wasted
[RECORD OF THE WEEK] Andy Duguid ft. Leah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sipping my ocean dry
Emotionally spin me
'Till none of our planets could align
But I could stand you one more night
You are a catch-22, either way I miss out
All of the grief I give you
But I could stand you one more night
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
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
The lyrics of "Wasted" by Andy Duguid ft. Leah speak about a complicated and tumultuous relationship between two people. The singer describes her significant other as a glass half empty, someone who drains her emotional energy and disturbs the harmony and balance in their relationship. Despite this, she admits that she still wants to be with them for one more night. The chorus reveals that she likes their relationship better when they're both drunk and wasted because it becomes easier to hide their feelings and pretend everything is fine. They communicate better when they're inebriated and vulnerable.
The lyrics are a raw and honest representation of a toxic relationship, where one person feels drained by their partner, yet can't seem to let go. The term "catch-22" is used to describe the situation where there is no good option, and one cannot win regardless of what they do. The song portrays the idea that sometimes people need to escape their pain through unhealthy coping mechanisms like alcoholism, even though it masks their problems in the short term.
Overall, "Wasted" is a poignant reflection of the complexities of modern human relationships and how people can sometimes be drawn to others who aren't good for them.

Brooo, 100% you get it, it was stylish, it was detailed it was technical, it was a real hearty and arty type of music. It was a little showvenistic ... Walking into the club and this or similar is playing, smiles all round, floating.... memories ... bless bro, thanks for the flashbacks to a time that unfortunately people will never know.
