Wasted
Lino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And being told just what to do
And you don't know a thing about me
So I'll just stand here looking happy
Wasted away
I'm wasted away
And you don't know a thing about me
(They turn away fast too?)
Go so slow
And I think it's pretty clear that I should go
Things aren't what they seem
Don't talk too quickly
Things aren't what they seem
Don't talk too quickly
Wasted away
I'm wasted away
You don't know a thing about me
So I'll just stand here looking happy
The lyrics of Lino's song "Wasted" seems to talk about a feeling of being suffocated and misunderstood in a given situation or relationship. The lyrics start off with the singer expressing the frustration of repeatedly having to greet someone who takes control and makes decisions for them, without any knowledge of who they truly are. In response, the singer decides to put up a façade of being happy, despite the inner turmoil.
The chorus "Wasted away, I'm wasted away, and you don't know a thing about me, so I'll just stand here looking happy" further reiterates the idea that the singer feels misunderstood and unacknowledged. The repetition of the phrase "wasted away" could imply that the singer feels as though they are wasting away in this situation, stuck in a state of despair and unhappiness.
In the bridge of the song, the singer suggests slowing down and taking time to understand each other, as things aren't always what they seem. The use of the phrase "don't talk too quickly" could be interpreted as advice to take time to understand each other's perspectives instead of assuming or making hasty conclusions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Wasted" convey a feeling of being stuck in a situation or relationship where one is misunderstood and controlled. The singer puts on a mask of happiness to avoid confrontation and expresses the need for a deeper understanding of the situation.

Sick of saying hello to you
Tired of greeting you every time we meet
And being told just what to do
And being constantly instructed on what to do by you
And you don't know a thing about me
And yet, you have no idea about who I truly am
So I'll just stand here looking happy
So I'll put on a facade of happiness and stand here
Wasted away
I'm feeling drained
I'm wasted away
I'm completely exhausted
And you don't know a thing about me
And you still don't know a single thing about me
So I'll just stand here looking happy
So I'll just continue pretending to be happy
Go so slow
I should take my time
And I think it's pretty clear that I should go
And I strongly believe that it's best for me to leave
Things aren't what they seem
Appearances can be deceiving
Don't talk too quickly
Don't rush through conversations
Things aren't what they seem
Appearances can be deceiving
Don't talk too quickly
Don't rush through conversations
Wasted away
I'm feeling drained
I'm wasted away
I'm completely exhausted
You don't know a thing about me
You still haven't taken the time to understand me
So I'll just stand here looking happy
So I'll just keep up the act of appearing happy
