Wasted
Anis Don Demina Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m breaking every habit
I didn't know what I was searching for
I follow the white rabbit
Deeper down the places of unknown
Damn you keep messing with me
Only scares I can undo
′Cause you cut me deep as the sea
Everywhere I turn I see you

You got me wasted, lost my self esteem
Just like the days when we were seventeenth
'Cause I have been my myself since you walked in
You got me wasted, so fucking wasted

You got me wasted, lost my self esteem
Just like the days when we were seventeenth
Cause I have been myself since you walked in
You got me wasted, so fucking wasted
You got me wasted
You got me so wasted

Make me cross my hearth and
Say goodbye to everything I knew
You changed me from the start and
Turned me into something strange and new

Damn you keep messing with me
Only scares I can undo
Cause you cut me deep as the sea
Everywhere I turn I see you

You got me wasted, lost my self esteem
Just like the days when we were seventeenth
'Cause I have been my myself since you walked in
You got me wasted, so fucking wasted

You got me wasted, lost my self esteem
Just like the days when we were seventeenth
′Cause I have been myself since you walked in
You got me wasted, so fucking wasted
You got me wasted
You got me so wasted

(You got me)
(You got me)
(You got me)
(You got me)
(You got me)
(You got me)

You got me wasted, lost my self esteem
Just like the days when we were seventeenth
′Cause I have been my myself since you walked in
You got me wasted, so fucking wasted
You got me wasted, lost my self esteem

Just like the days when we were seventeenth
'Cause I have been myself since you walked in

You got me wasted, so fucking wasted
You got me waste

Overall Meaning

The song "Wasted" by Anis Don Demina explores the aftermath of a toxic relationship. The opening lines, "I'm breaking every habit, I didn't know what I was searching for" suggest that the persona was unaware of what they were getting into when they entered the relationship. The line "I follow the white rabbit, deeper down the places of unknown" implies that they were lured into the relationship, perhaps by something enticing.

The persona is clearly struggling to move on from the relationship as evidenced by the lines "Damn you keep messing with me, only scares I can undo" and "Everywhere I turn I see you". These lines suggest that their emotions and memories of the relationship continue to haunt them.

In the chorus, the lyrics "You got me wasted, lost my self-esteem, just like the days when we were seventeenth" convey the idea that the persona feels like they have regressed emotionally due to the impact of the relationship. The use of "seventeenth" references a time when one is still maturing emotionally, implying that the relationship has stunted their growth.

Overall, the song portrays the destructive nature of a relationship that leaves one feeling lost and emotionally drained.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm breaking every habit
I'm trying to change my ways and do things differently

I didn't know what I was searching for
I was lost and didn't know what I wanted in life

I follow the white rabbit
I'm exploring new and unknown places, like Alice following the rabbit down the hole

Deeper down the places of unknown
I'm delving into uncharted territory and taking risks in my life

Damn you keep messing with me
You are constantly causing me trouble and making my life difficult

Only scares I can undo
The only thing I can control are my fears and anxieties

'Cause you cut me deep as the sea
You hurt me deeply, like the vast and endless ocean

Everywhere I turn I see you
I can't escape the memory of you and your impact on my life.

Make me cross my hearth and
You make me question my deepest convictions and beliefs

Say goodbye to everything I knew
I'm leaving behind my old life and embracing something new

You changed me from the start and
You transformed me into someone I never thought I could be

Turned me into something strange and new
I'm becoming a version of myself that is unfamiliar to me

You got me wasted, lost my self esteem
You have taken away my confidence and self-worth, leaving me feeling empty and defeated

Just like the days when we were seventeenth
I feel like I'm back in my teenage years, unsure of who I am and where I'm going

'Cause I have been myself since you walked in
I've lost my identity since you entered my life

You got me wasted, so fucking wasted
You've caused me to waste so much time and energy on something that wasn't worth it

You got me so wasted
You've consumed me and left me feeling like a shell of myself
