Waste of Me
Megosh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know how it is
The way the world revolves the times again
Somebody's nobody grows stronger than them
She once said to me those words, the words that she says to him
Mine's rotting and dying from behind the skin
Is it that time again?
No, no!
With lies so white, the dirt you've hidden comes to light
All I want's to make you smile
All I want's to make you mine
But it's always a waste of me
All I want's to bring you down
All I want's to make you hurt
And ask how much is this dead?
I know your body like the palm of my hand
He's got his hands on you, you got your hands on him
Does the dirt rub off when he's touching your lips?
Are you proud of yourself?
This is making me sick!
It's all I can think of
You don't realize we'll never be the same
Tell me– am I calling your phone while you're calling out his name?
Somebody's warm body
Anyone's will do
I'll just do like you do
I'll just do like you do
Cause I know what goes on behind closed blinds
With hands that red tell me who needs the evidence?
All I want's to make you proud
All I want's the best for you
But it's only a waste of time
All I want's to make you beg
All I want's to watch this burn
Tell me, is there any green left at all?
And I'll be strong
I swear I'm strong
I'll be alive and wrong
The lyrics to Megosh's "Waste of Me" capture the painful emotions of unrequited love and betrayal. The song starts with the realization that "everybody's somebody" and that the world keeps revolving, leaving somebody's "nobody" often stronger than they were before. The singer then remembers words spoken by someone else about their own rotting and dying insides, and wonders if it's time to face that truth again. The chorus expresses a desperate desire to make the person they love smile and be with them, but these efforts always seem to be a "waste of me." The bridge of the song details the singer's deep anger and hurt over the fact that the person they love is involved with someone else, and suggests an intimate knowledge of their activities behind closed doors.
The lyrics of "Waste of Me" are laced with imagery and metaphors that deepen the emotional impact of the song. The use of "white" to describe lies underscores their perceived purity and innocence, while "hands that red" evoke a sense of guilt or wrong-doing. The repetition of "all I want's" in the chorus emphasizes the singer's intense desire, while the line "I know your body like the palm of my hand" creates a sense of familiarity and possessiveness. The bridge's questioning of the other person's pride and emphasis on "anyone's" body highlights the desperation and intensity of the singer's feelings.
