Wasting Time
Andy McSean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shattered about what I didn′t say
Lose my mind on petty things
Going blind for what the morning after brings
Now I'm tired of wasting all this time we′ve got
While we're waiting, deffering and missing the life we've bought
Now it′s time to make a change
And feel alive
Dispose of waste that holds me down
Close the delusion I have found
Breaking through the wall of pride
Jump in the river of trust and float with the tide
Cause I'm tired of wasting all this time we′ve got
While we're waiting, deffering and missing the life we′ve bought
Now it's time to make a change
Now it′s time to rearrange
And feel alive
Time will fly away while we still hesitate
What if time stands still because we stop to wait
For our time
To live
Our lifes
Oh yeah
Cause I'm tired of wasting all this time we've got -
While we′re waiting, deffering and missing the life we′ve bought
Now it's time to make a change
Now it′s time to rearrange
I'm tired of wasting all this time we′ve got
While we're waiting, deffering and missing the life we′ve bought
Now it's time to make a change
Now it's time to rearrange
And feel alive
Feel Alive
The lyrics to Andy McSean's song Wasting Time focus on the themes of regret and a desire to live life to the fullest. The opening lines convey a sense of squandering time and potential, feeling weighed down by regret over things left unsaid and consumed by small-minded concerns that obscure the bigger picture. The chorus repeats the sentiment of being tired of wasting time, waiting for something to happen instead of taking action and living fully in the present moment. The second verse builds on these themes, emphasizing the need to break free of limiting beliefs and thought patterns in order to fully embrace life's possibilities. The final lines underscore the importance of seizing the present moment and making the most of the time we have, before it slips away.
One can interpret this song as a call to action: to stop living in a state of complacency and to start taking risks and pursuing one's dreams. The lyrics suggest that waiting for the perfect moment to arrive may mean missing out on the opportunities that are right in front of us. Instead of being held back by our fears and doubts, we should strive to live boldly, with a sense of purpose and urgency.
