Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a time was a fool who thought he'd find
Hoo, hoo

Once upon a time was a fool who thought he'd find
Purpose in his life along the way
Don't you run and hide from the truth you decide
Everything that lives is gone to waste
Hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo
Hoo (o-o-o)

Once upon a time was a fool who thought he'd find
Purpose in his life along the way




Don't you run and hide from the truth you decide
Everything that lives is gone to waste

Overall Meaning

Kxllswxtch's song WASTE is a melancholic exploration of the futility of life, the search for meaning, and the inevitability of death. The songwriter adopts a fairy tale-like tone as he introduces the singer, a fool who once believed that his life had purpose. The repetition of the refrain 'Once upon a time' suggests that the sense of purpose was fleeting, and that the singer's journey leads to a realization that everything in life is ultimately gone to waste. The hooing in the background creates a haunting effect that underscores the sense of melancholy and loss.


In the second verse, the songwriter implores the listener not to run away from the truth, but to confront it head-on. The repetition of 'don't you run and hide' plays like a warning, an admonition that suggests that denial only perpetuates the cycle of waste. Here, the songwriter seems to be suggesting that acceptance of life's transience is essential for living a meaningful life.


Overall, Kxllswxtch's WASTE is a poetic and introspective rumination on life's struggles and the search for meaning in a world that often feels senseless. It is a plea to confront the realities of existence, to embrace life's fleeting moments, and to find solace in the knowledge that nothing is permanent.
