Wasteland
Kimberly Anne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing to climb
I'm built from nothing at all
The worries underneath
Never sleep
No matter how many times I call
All these faults of mine
So I can't consider why it's worth the time
[You call me up from the wasteland
I feel you pull as hard as you can
It's too far from here from where I stand
Why you try, I've got no idea
I didn't lie here
And I will never be full grown
When my boat's really row
The cowardice in me still believes
You're better off on your own
Well there's no use saving
All this peace of mind
‘Cause I've??? over and it's never kind
You call me up from the wasteland
I feel you pull as hard as you can
It's too far from here from where I stand
Why you try, I've got no idea
I didn't lie here
So don't you wait before I go
So don't you wait before I go
So don't you wait before I go
On a road to nowhere
Nothing to play
I'm built from nothing at all
The lyrics of Kimberly Anne's song "Wasteland" are about feeling lost, helpless, and alone. The singer feels like they are on a road to nowhere with nothing to climb and are built from nothing at all. The worries underneath never sleep, no matter how many times they try to call for help. The singer feels like there is no use in counting all their faults and wonders why it is even worth the time to try.
Despite feeling like a "wasteland," the singer is called up by someone who is trying to pull them out of it. However, they feel like it's too far from where they stand and they have no idea why this person is even trying. The singer's cowardice makes them believe that the other person is better off on their own. The singer feels like there is no use in saving all their peace of mind because they have crossed over and it's never kind.
Overall, "Wasteland" is a powerful song that explores feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and despair. It's relatable to anyone who has felt lost or abandoned and is searching for a way out.
Line by Line Meaning
On a road to nowhere
I am lost and directionless in life with no clear purpose or goal
Nothing to climb
I do not have any opportunities or challenges that I can rise to meet
I'm built from nothing at all
I have come from a place of nothing and have had to build myself up from scratch
The worries underneath
My underlying fears and anxieties that I try to ignore or suppress
Never sleep
They always haunt me and keep me awake at night
No matter how many times I call
Even if I try to reach out for help or support, they still linger within me
When there's no use counting
It is pointless to dwell on all my flaws or mistakes
All these faults of mine
My personal shortcomings that I struggle to overcome
So I can't consider why it's worth the time
I cannot see the value in dwelling on them and how it will make any difference
You call me up from the wasteland
Someone is reaching out to me from a place of emptiness and despair
I feel you pull as hard as you can
They are trying their best to help me out of my own struggles and pain
It's too far from here from where I stand
From where I am, the way out of my troubles seems impossible or unreachable
Why you try, I've got no idea
I cannot comprehend why someone would bother to try and help me when I feel so lost
I didn't lie here
I did not choose to be in this dark place mentally or emotionally
And I will never be full grown
I feel like I will always be stuck in this state of emotional immaturity and fragility
When my boat's really row
Even when I try my hardest and give my all, I still feel like I am getting nowhere
The cowardice in me still believes
I struggle to believe in myself and tend to give up easily, letting fear control me
You're better off on your own
I believe that I am a burden to others and that they would be better off without me
Well there's no use saving
I see no point in trying to preserve my own mental peace and wellbeing
All this peace of mind
The calm and stable mental state that I yearn for but cannot seem to achieve
‘Cause I've??? over and it's never kind
I have lost hope and motivation to even try anymore, and the results of my efforts are never positive
So don't you wait before I go
I do not want anyone to wait for me to heal or get better, as I do not believe it will happen
On a road to nowhere
I am still lost and searching for a way out of my emptiness and sorrow
Nothing to play
Life feels like a pointless game with no real meaning or joy to be found
I'm built from nothing at all
I continue to build myself up from nothing, desperate to find a sense of purpose and fulfillment
