Signing with New Weathermen Records, a division of Ferret Music, in mid-2006 the band began work on their second full length. Released in September of 2006, Everything's Watched, Everyone's Watching featured a few old songs re-written and remastered, along with many newly written tracks.

Wasted
Heavy Heavy Low Low Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was so wasted
I was a hippie
I was a burnout
I was a dropout
I was out of my head
I was a surfer
I had skateboard
I was so heavy, man

I lived on the strand

I was so wasted

I was so fucked up
I was so macked up
I was so screwed up
I was out of my head
I was so jacked up
I was so drugged up
I was so nebbed out
I was out of my head

I was so wasted
I was wasted

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Heavy Heavy Low Low's song "Wasted" paint a picture of someone who is, as the title suggests, completely wasted. The lyrics start with a list of possible identities that the singer may have adopted at some point - hippie, burnout, dropout, surfer, skateboarder - but they all lead to the same conclusion: "I was out of my head". The singer then goes on to list various states of being drunk or high: "macked up", "screwed up", "jacked up", "drugged up", "nebbed out". The repetition of "I was so ..." is a nod to the exaggerated way in which people talk about being drunk or high.

The lyrics of "Wasted" capture the feeling of being so lost in a state of intoxication that everything else fades away. There is a sense of regret and self-awareness that suggests that the singer is aware that they are not living their best life. The repetition of "I was wasted" at the end of the song is a simple summary of the whole concept of the song - that the singer is completely out of control.

I always love it when a screamer sounds like he/she's dying. I like their new album and the direction they're going. A lot of bands are doing the whole experimental hardcore thing, but these guys do it in a different way. The closest band in terms of feel is probably An Albatross, but their style is much different. But it still has that hardcore band in the 60s feel.
