Waste of Paint
Peace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To ever make the leap
Or hold on here forever
Or dive into the sea.
It feels like your mother
Has gone to set you free
You're loving every minute
It's chemical, a pesticide, a cannonball
You're such an animal
A filthy, a filthy animal
You're electric honey, you blow my brain
Face to face, we're all the same
You and me we're a waste of a paint
You're electric honey, electric
Baby put your fists down
Throw away your sword
Never beg or bother
Cause underneath the door,
Pieces come together (something's in the way)
Slowly feeling better (die another day)
You've never been a quitter (everything's okay)
Living for whatever (it's the usual or)
You're such an animal
A filthy, a filthy animal
You're electric honey, you blow my brain
Face to face, we're all the same
You and me we're a waste of a paint
You're electric honey, electric
You're electric honey, you blow my brain
Face to face, we're all the same
You and me we're a waste of a paint
You're electric honey, electric
You're such an animal
A filthy, a filthy animal
The song "Waste of Paint" by Peace uses vivid imagery to depict a feeling of urgency and opportunity. The opening line, "This feels like your last chance to ever make the leap", suggests that there is something important at stake and time is running out. The following lines refer to the choice between holding on to the present or diving headfirst into the unknown. The line "You're loving every minute, it's chemical, a pesticide, a cannonball" suggests that the decision is thrilling and potentially dangerous. The chorus then repeats the metaphorical phrase "You're electric honey, you blow my brain", which can be interpreted as the overwhelming sensation of attraction and excitement that one experiences when taking a risk.
The second verse seems to address someone who is struggling with a personal crisis, with lines such as "Baby put your fists down, throw away your sword" and "Pieces come together, slowly feeling better". The message is one of reassurance, encouraging the listener to keep pushing forward and never give up. The final chorus reaffirms the connection between the two people being addressed, declaring that they are equals and both "a waste of paint", implying that they are both works of art in their own right.
Overall, the song seems to be about seizing opportunities, taking risks, and embracing life's uncertainties. It encourages the listener to let go of their fears and doubts, and to trust in their own strength and resilience.
