Wasted
KOMA Matthew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It makes it easier to fake it
The only time we really talk
Is when our clothes are coming off
I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
Oh oh oh oh
You are a glass half empty
Sipping my ocean dry
Emotionally spent me
Til none of our planets could align
But I could stand you one more night
I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
I like us better when we're wasted
Oh oh oh oh
You are a catch 22
Either way I miss out
All of the grief I'd give you
Is energy I can live without
But I could stand you one more night
I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
I like us better when we're wasted
Oh oh oh oh
I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
I like us better when we're wasted
Oh oh oh oh
The lyrics of KOMA Matthew's song "Wasted" describe a situation where the relationship between two individuals is at its best when they're under the influence of alcohol. The song signifies a state of relationship where the individuals in it have lost their emotional connection, and the only way they can communicate with each other is by being physically intimate. When they're sober, they avoid each other with one of them being a glass-half-empty who sips the ocean dry and the other emotionally drained to the extent they don't align with their partner.
The chorus describes how the two of them are happier and cozier when they're intoxicated. It makes it easier for them to express their feelings and communicate effectively. Whenever they're wasted, they can hold a conversation without fear of judgment, lay their emotional baggage bare, and deep emotional issues. Perhaps they feel more relaxed and carefree with one another. The metaphor of laying all the laundry on the bed and then laying in it instead paints a picture of the relationship's emotional openness.
The second verse proclaims that one partner is a catch 22; the other partner misses out either way, valuing the energy they have too much to let the relationship strain them further. They can't stand the two's grief or emotional tension, which seems to disrupt their inner peace.
