Waste
KITCHEN - Brand New Lyrics

Mumbling and then a shrill scream
Starting off with incoherent mumbling and building up to a piercing scream

You and I were stuck in the waste
Both of us were trapped in a hopeless situation

Talking about our salad days
Reflecting on the past when things seemed better and simpler

What a damn lie
Realizing that those nostalgic memories were not as good as they seemed

But you and I are stuck like glue
We are inseparable, bound tightly together

And that's the God damn truth
Confirming that our connection is unwavering and undeniable

Baby, bye-bye
Acknowledging the need to part ways, saying goodbye

Well, you could turn to water and we'd all float on
Even if you completely change, adapt, and move on from this situation, we will all overcome it and find a way to survive

Give up trying to be someone
Stop striving to fit a mold or meet others' expectations

Take your head apart
An invitation to analyze and deconstruct your thoughts and emotions

Free your own heart
Release yourself from emotional burdens and find inner liberation

You and I are stuck out of phase
We are out of sync with the world, disconnected from its rhythm

Always begging for some grace when there's no time
Constantly seeking forgiveness or mercy in a time-constrained environment

We get no reply
Our appeals go unheard, receiving no response

Every night you were tripping out
Each night, you were overwhelmed by anxiety or confusion

In the morning you were coming down
By morning, you were experiencing the consequences or the aftermath

If it's breaking your heart, if nothing is fun
If this situation is causing you immense pain and nothing brings joy

Don't lose hope, my son
Keep faith, my child, and don't give up

This is the last one
Assuring that this is the final struggle or hardship

You and I repent of our sins
Both of us regret and seek forgiveness for our wrongdoings

Yeah, we feel so American laying in the road
Feeling exposed and vulnerable like the American Dream shattered on the streets

Was a shoe-in for the crash of the day
It was inevitable to be involved in a disaster or failure

And we're never going to walk away
We are forever tied to this situation, unable to escape

Never going home
We will never return to the comfort and familiarity of our previous life

I'm hoping that in time, you can lay down
I hold hope that eventually, you can let go of

All this weight you've been carrying around
The heavy burden you have been shouldering

And maybe one day
Perhaps in the future

You'll find your way
You will discover your path or purpose

To climb on up out of your grave
Rising above your metaphorical grave, escaping your current state of despair

With the bits of you you managed to save
Using the fragments of yourself that you were able to salvage

And for the last time
For the final moment or opportunity

Yeah, you say good-bye
You finally bid farewell

'Cause every night had you laid low
Because every night, you were emotionally drained and defeated

It's going to feel so good to let it go
It will be immensely satisfying to release and relinquish it all

It's all in your head, your race is run
Your struggles exist primarily in your mind, and your journey has reached its end

Don't give up, my son, this is the last one
Maintain hope, my child, this is the final challenge you must face

And he said, "You are not alone
Someone reassures you, saying that you are not alone

You are not alone"
You have support and companionship

Every night you were tripping out
Each night, you were overwhelmed by anxiety or confusion

In the morning you were coming down
By morning, you were experiencing the consequences or the aftermath

If it's breaking your heart, if nothing is fun
If this situation is causing you immense pain and nothing brings joy

Don't lose hope, my son
Keep faith, my child, and don't give up

This is the last one
Assuring that this is the final struggle or hardship

Every night had you laid low
Each night, you were emotionally drained and defeated

It's going to feel so good to let it go
It will be immensely satisfying to release and relinquish it all

It's all in your head, your race is run
Your struggles exist primarily in your mind, and your journey has reached its end

Don't give up, my son, this is the last one
Maintain hope, my child, this is the final challenge you must face

This is the last one
This is the final struggle or hardship
