Waste of Time
M״ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
總覺得浪費時間
分分秒秒香煙
燻得我睜不開雙眼
紅色的牆
把我拉入無盡的輪迴
身體沉入大海
在真空的夢裡醒醒睡睡
被鎖在你溫柔的牢籠
日復一日想逃開
卻怕心流浪街頭
於是我們成為了一團爛泥
沉溺於愛與被愛的混沌不明
有天我放聲哭泣
再置之不理
擤完鼻涕就決定把你拋棄
愛情不是兩情相悅
就是自作多情
如果不是前者
我們真的可以歸零
我執意把你給忘記
丟掉對我不成立的熱情
記憶中的浪漫上了一層濾鏡
我已看不清
彷彿是前世光景
場景依然清晰
就是看不清你的愛意
和你在一起就是
浪費時間
不想承認與你一起養成的習慣
還在身邊
我倒希望我們永遠不再見
因為我們在一起
就是浪費時間
我的靈魂
被鎖在你溫柔的牢籠
日復一日想逃開
卻怕心流浪街頭
於是我們成為了一團爛泥
沉溺於愛與被愛的混沌不明
有天我放聲哭泣
再置之不理
擤完鼻涕就決定把你拋棄
愛情不是兩情相悅
就是自作多情
如果不是前者
我們真的可以歸零
我執意把你給忘記
丟掉對我不成立的熱情
記憶中的浪漫上了一層濾鏡
我已看不清
彷彿是前世光景
場景依然清晰
就是看不清你的愛意
和你在一起就是
浪費時間
不想承認與你一起養成的習慣
還在身邊
我倒希望我們永遠不再見
因為我們在一起
就是浪費時間
浪費時間
The lyrics to M's song "Waste of Time" convey a feeling of being trapped in a toxic relationship, where every moment spent with the other person feels like a waste of time. The singer, despite being physically present with their partner, feels mentally disconnected and stuck in a cycle of cigarette-smoking and daydreaming. The metaphorical red wall mentioned in the lyrics possibly represents the emotional barrier that separates the singer from their partner, and the line "my soul is locked in your gentle cage" adds to this imagery.
The second paragraph describes the singer reaching a breaking point and deciding to end the relationship. They reflect on the fact that love isn't always mutual, and that they were fooling themselves into believing that they were happy. Despite this realization, the singer still finds it difficult to let go of the memories and habits formed with their partner. The song ends with a bittersweet acknowledgement that while they don't want to be with their partner anymore, it's hard to completely let go of someone who has been such a big part of their life.
Overall, "Waste of Time" is a poignant exploration of the difficulties of ending a relationship and the struggle to let go of someone who was once important to us.

Snow falls, somehow
It doesn't melt boy when it hits you, why?
All this life I've been drowned by confusion
What'd you wanna, slowly losing my one love
See, I told you you were gonna
Break my heart on the winter night
Is that what you wanna?
Say the word and I'll be gone
I told you I was gonna lose you to the blue
Where is the love we had, love we had?
Where is the love we had?
Ooh, what a waste of time
Why does it hurt so bad, hurt so bad?
Why do you always make me cry?
Ooh, what a waste of time
You said I was your beat, what the fuck!
Ooh, what a waste of time
Now I'm just your bitch, what the fuck!
Ooh, what a waste of time
Wildest storm how
I'm walking on the glass of your broken vows
Well, what a scene
We were straight fooled by youth, okay
What'd you wanna, slowly losing my one love
I, I told you you were gonna
Take a run on a winter night
Is that really what you wanted?
Say the word, say the word
I'da told you I was gonna
Losing you to what's cruel
Where is the love we had, love we had?
Where is the love we had?
Ooh, what a waste of time
Why does it hurt so bad, hurt so bad?
Why do you always make me cry?
Ooh, what a waste of time
Where is the love we had, love we had?
Why do you always make me cry?
Ooh, what a waste of time
You said I was your beat, what the fuck!
Save it for the girl you like.
Ooh, what a waste of time
Now I'm just your bitch, what the fuck!
Ooh, what a waste of time

@VEVODSCVR
Loving MØ! Check out her acoustic performance of Never Wanna Know over on the VEVO DSCVR channel :)
@Joe-official
I know artists evolve, new looks and new sounds but I really miss NMTF MØ it's what made me love her.. the album is a masterpiece and I never get tired of replaying it. I just hope she'll make this kinda music in the future.
@sarah.phillipa854
I agree i love her old albums so much
@MS-dw2pb
Yeah.. sadly this happens when artists go mainstream. They dumb down their music to appeal to the mass crowds
@evangeorge8115
Absolutely and completely correct
@Digity26
She said she doesn’t want to make the same album again so that’s why her second album was different.
@nondescriptbeing5944
@@MS-dw2pb It really is so much less creative and more generic now
@christian6353
I'm happy MØ has been successful, but I miss hearing her old style. She's taken and run with the Lean On sound, but this is the stuff I liked most.
@MrWerishitus
Christian Canter I feel exactly the same
@JedPop
exactly Waste of time still my favorite song and her first album still my favorite album.
