Founder Ashba eventually left the group to form his own solo project, ASHBA, before going on to form Sixx:A.M. and join Guns N' Roses while drummer Sobel also departed. Guitarist Michael Thomas (Engines of Agression) joined Beautiful Creatures, replacing Ashba, only to depart from Beautiful Creatures to join Ashba's solo band, Ashba, which broke up shortly after Thomas joined.
Eventually the group returned adding guitarist Alex Grossi (Angry Salad, Quiet Riot, Adler's Appetite) and drummer Matt Starr for the recording of the second album, Deuce, however by the time it was released, in 2005, both Grossi and Starr had been replaced by guitarist Mark Simpson (Flotsam and Jetsam) and drummer Timmy Russell.
Although the members are doing other projects. Kweens, Leste and Focx have spoke about continuing and possibly doing a original line up reunion, but no shows or new music are in the works.
Wasted
Beautiful Creatures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you feel like I feel when you're all alone
Taking my time, taking my time
You know how it feels 'cause you're on your own
Broke down wasted
Talking to you, you don't give a damn
Broke down face it
Talking to you, why don't you understand
I've made up my mind, all of this time
Wasted
I've been waiting so long
I've made up my mind, all of this time
Just wasted
Yeah
Yeah
Taking my time, taking my time
You know I gave it all and you wanted more
Taking my time, taking my time
You know you took it all and you left me torn
Broke down faded, my mind's slippin' down in sin
Broke down jaded, ain't no saint inside this skin
I've been waiting so long
I've made up my mind, all of this time
Wasted
I've been waiting so long
I've made up my mind
No more wasting time
Take a shot you could never never hurt me
Take a shot you could never never get me
Take a shot you could never never hurt me
Take a shot
I've been waiting so long
I've made up my mind, all of this time
Wasted
I've been waiting so long
I've made up my mind, all of this time
Wasted
Just wasted
I've been waiting so long
I've made up my mind, all of this time
Wasted
I've been waiting so long
I've made up my mind, all of this time
Just wasted
Ain't no saint saint inside this skin
Tongue tied and twisted
I've givin' in
In the song "Wasted" by Beautiful Creatures, the singer talks about how he's taking his time, but also how he feels all alone. He's wasted in every sense of the word- wasted time, wasted love, and even wasted life. Throughout the song, he expresses his frustration with the person he's talking to, emphasizing that they're not understanding him. He's been waiting for so long, and he's "made up his mind", accepting that everything he's put into the relationship was all for nothing. He's broke down, faded, and jaded- there's no saint inside of him.
The song seems to convey the message of disappointment and resentment. In the end, the singer is tired of wasting time and efforts on someone who doesn't care. This person took everything from him and left him torn. However, he still seems to be hopeful and determined to move on with his life. The lyrics offer a relatable and emotional portrayal of a person giving up on a relationship that has been dragging them down for too long.

I'd listen to this song all the time in school and headbang. Needless to say, my study hall teacher got annoyed with me and my music.
