Wasted
Fotos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und du hast keinen Traum
Neeeein
Wir sind Wasted immerzu
Ich bin Ich und Du bist Du
Ich habe keine Lust
Neeeein
Wir essen das Papier
Ich bei Mir
Und du bei Dir
Ich habe keine Zeit
Und du hast keine Zeit
Neeeein
Da ist ein Sieb in unserem Kopf durch das Erinnerung tropft
Die an Dich und die an Mich
Die an Dich und die an Mich
Wir essen das Papier
Ich bei Mir
Und du bei Dir
Ich bin ich und du bist du
Wir sind Wasted immerzu
Neeeein
The lyrics of Fotos' song Wasted are reflective in nature and touch on themes of nihilism and disillusionment. The repetition of phrases like "Ich habe keinen Traum und du hast keinen Traum" (I have no dream and neither do you) and "Ich habe keine Lust und du hast keine Lust" (I have no desire and neither do you) emphasize a sense of apathy towards the world and life in general.
The lines "Wir essen das Papier, ich bei mir, und du bei dir" (We eat the paper, me at my place, and you at yours) can be interpreted as a reference to smoking or drug use as a means of escapism. The metaphorical sieve through which memories drip, as mentioned in "Da ist ein Sieb in unserem Kopf durch das Erinnerung tropft" (There is a sieve in our heads where memories drip) may represent the fleeting nature of memories and how they can be warped or lost over time.
The chorus, "Ich bin ich und du bist du, wir sind Wasted immerzu" (I am me and you are you, we are always wasted) acknowledges the characters' detachment from one another as well as their collective state of being "wasted" or consumed by nothingness, despair, or addiction. Overall, the song Wasted can be seen as a commentary on the human condition and the tendency to feel lost and disconnected in a seemingly meaningless world.

I'm spending my summer time after time crying again
Had the blues over you, I didn't hang with my friends
You fake cry that's a lie, tell me was it all pretend?
In my head
In my head
You're needing all the time again, our time again (I hope it's nothing, I hope it's nothing)
Needing the time again, our time again (I hope it's nothing, I hope it's nothing)
Wasting our time again, our time again (I hope it's nothing, I hope it's nothing)
We don't have nothing to say
So we have nothing left
La-la-la-la la-la-la la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la la-la-la la-la-la-la-la

I wasted like half of my summer tryna hold on your hand
You're the leech I'm the man, I guess you don't understand
Holding hands, say I cant
You're telling me, yes, I can
Yes I can
Yes I can
I wasted like half of my summer tryna hold on your hand
You're the leech I'm the man, I guess you don't understand
Holding hands, say I cant
You're telling me yes, I can
Yes, I can
Yes, I can
You're needing all the time again, our time again (I hope it's nothing, I hope it's nothing)
Needing the time again, our time again (I hope it's nothing, I hope it's nothing)
Wasting our time again, our time again (I hope it's nothing, I hope it's nothing)
We don't have nothing to say
So, we have nothing left

You're needing all the time again
Our time again
Needing the time again

So we have nothing left

The fact that you can hear the joy and happiness the younger sister had while recording this, makes this song so much more powerful, what a creative and wholesome idea <3
