After spending a month in the studio, Dropsaw has finished recording their 3rd album titled HARD JUSTICE set to be released May 14th 2010. The album was recorded in San Diego, USA with As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis, Kelly Cairns and Daniel Castleman (Austrian Death Machine, Winds Of Plague, Sworn Enemy, Impending Doom). The band have taken a large step in the way of song writing, mixing it up though the album with insanely fast thrash and destructive breakdowns and keeping that 'heavy as fuck' Dropsaw sound.
Wasted Youth
Dropsaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
over the years of putting up with it
so much anger
and stress my head is spinning
waking up, doing the same thing everyday
boss in the ear, don't do it like that, do it my way
work away the greatest of yeas
every time I stop and think
I want back all times I've wasted away
work away the greatest of years
growing up it was one of my fears
I AM FED UP

The lyrics "Waking up, doing the same thing every day, boss in the ear, don't do it like that, do it my way," suggest a lack of autonomy and a feeling of being trapped in a job they don't enjoy.
The second verse of the song highlights the regret the singer feels for wasting their youth on work and the realization that they will never get those years back. The lyrics "Every time I stop and think, I want back all times I've wasted away, work away the greatest of years, growing up it was one of my fears" express a sense of loss and sadness for the missed opportunities and experiences that could have been enjoyed instead of working.
