Waste
Blessing a Curse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another day
Wasting away
Cause nobody here's got a fuckin' sense of urgency
Okay, leave it to me
Cause with a squad like this who needs enemies?

If another fuckin' goddamn son of a bitch steps up to try me
I got no problem with settling the score
If you're on my side that's fine by me
But if not then you've been warned

Even if my anxiety's got the best of me
Don't assume that I'm gonna let you win
My aggression is unrelenting
Regardless of where you think you've been

You're wasted just face it
You thrive in stagnation
You're no inspiration
You have no appeal
You're sadly mistaken if
You think that takin' me down will affect how you feel

I'm flattered that you think I have a crown to steal but see the joke's on you
Cause none of this is real,
I tell myself one day I'm destined for greatness
But you worthless motherfuckers keep on tryin' my patience

Throwing salt on my name
Won't help your wounds when you fall
There's a million ways to hate you and I fuckin' feel them all

You think we do this shit for fun
(Motherfucker)
What's wrong?
What's wrong, cat got your tongue
You look a little green around the gills

Even if my anxiety's got the best of me
don't assume that i'm gonna let you win
my aggression is unrelenting
regardless of where you think you've been





Cat got your tongue, boy?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blessing a Curse's song "Waste" convey a sense of frustration, defiance, and determination. The singer expresses their dissatisfaction with the apathy and lack of urgency they witness around them, feeling like they are wasting away in a world where nobody seems to care. They take it upon themselves to be the one who acts, questioning the need for enemies when their own squad seems unreliable. The lyrics suggest that if someone challenges or provokes them, the singer is ready to settle the score, with or without support. They refuse to let their anxiety get the best of them and are unyielding in their aggression, regardless of others' perceptions of their abilities or past experiences. The lyrics also reflect a sense of being underestimated and misunderstood, where the singer is flattered by the idea that someone thinks they have something worth taking but also aware of the irony that none of it is real. While they strive for greatness and have ambitions, they are constantly tested by the patience-wearing actions of others. The expression "cat got your tongue" at the end serves as a challenge, suggesting that the singer is ready and waiting for someone to try and silence them, confident in their ability to respond.

What is the issue?


What's wrong, cat got your tongue
What is the matter? Has something rendered you speechless?


You look a little green around the gills
You appear to be unwell or nauseous


Cat got your tongue, boy?
Are you unable to speak, my dear?
