Waste
Blake G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll probably do something great
The way it's goin' right now
I been feeling like a waste
I got projects to finish
Bad habits I gotta break
Tryna see the team winnin'
I gotta pick up the pace
Feel like my brain is so far from my body
It's probably floating in outer space
I need to get to a better place
Only feel right when I'm on a stage
Tryna do nothin and everything
Does anyone else ever feel this way?
Yea
Lately I feel like a waste
Of space, amazed
That I could even get this far
They tell me don't give up the chase
You'll make, some waves
If you just give it all you got
So that's what I did
It's how I got here
But day by day, and year by year
It feels like I'm in the same spot
I need to shift gears
I'm wakin up from a nightmare
And I still feel weird
I gotta shake that vibe
Lookin at the clock and it's already 5
Runnin' outta money and I'm runnin outta time
Lookin' for some jobs online, tellin' myself it'll all be fine
People got it so much worse than me
Sittin' in my room just burnin' trees
Tryna hit the ground with a burst of speed
I just gotta find the formula that works for me
Yea
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Lately I feel like a waste
Of space, amazed
That I could even get this far
They tell me don't give up the chase
You'll make, some waves
If you just give it all you got
Lately I feel like a waste
Of space, amazed
That I could even get this far
They tell me don't give up the chase
You'll make, some waves
If you just give it all you got
The lyrics of "Waste" by Blake G capture the internal struggle and self-doubt that many individuals face when feeling stuck in a rut and questioning their purpose or progress in life. The artist reflects on feeling like a waste, noting the pressure to accomplish something significant and the frustration of being unable to break free from negative habits and thoughts. The mention of having projects to finish and bad habits to break highlights the internal conflict between wanting to achieve greatness and feeling held back by personal obstacles.
The lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment and disconnect, with the artist feeling detached from their own thoughts and emotions, as if their mind is detached from their physical existence. This existential crisis is further emphasized by the desire to be on stage, where they feel most alive and in their element, suggesting a craving for validation and purpose. The artist grapples with feelings of inadequacy and a lack of direction, unsure of how to navigate through their current state of mind and find fulfillment.
Despite receiving encouragement to persevere and not give up on their aspirations, the artist struggles to see tangible progress or change in their circumstances. The repetition of feeling like a waste of space underscores a deep-rooted sense of self-doubt and frustration with feeling stagnant and unfulfilled. The internal battle with self-perception and external pressures to succeed creates a poignant narrative of trying to find a way forward amidst uncertainty and anxiety.
In the chorus, the artist expresses a mix of disbelief and gratitude for how far they have come, contrasting with the feelings of being stuck in the same place day by day and year by year. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and a desire to break free from the cycle of feeling lost and unfulfilled, seeking a shift in perspective and a renewed sense of purpose. Overall, "Waste" poignantly captures the internal struggle of feeling like a waste while grappling with the paradox of wanting to make waves and excel but feeling overwhelmed by doubts and setbacks.

Searching for employment opportunities while trying to stay optimistic
People got it so much worse than me
Recognizing that others face more challenging situations
Sittin' in my room just burnin' trees
Spending time alone and consuming cannabis

Striving to achieve success quickly and energetically
I just gotta find the formula that works for me
I need to discover the method that suits me best
Woah oh oh oh

They tell me don't give up the chase
Encouragement to continue pursuing my goals
You'll make, some waves
You will create an impact and be noticed
If you just give it all you got
