Deeply entrenched in the fantastical yet grounded with a somewhat sardonic wit, her musical fairy tale draws as much influence from Dr. Dre as it does from Edvard Grieg.
Her song Cigarette Duet became a viral hit on Youtube.
Wasting Time
Princess Chelsea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see you talking
I see you sitting, around
Doing nothing, yeah
I see you drinking coffee with your friend
I see it
Shopping around
You don't even realize
You think that I'm so cool
But you don't even try
You're just a walking
And talking
Yeah!
Sitting outside
Drinking coffee
Waiting around to die
You don't even realize
You're wasting time
You think that I'm so cool
But you don't even try
I, been around in this town so long
I seen it all before
I see slightly odd versions of
Who you think you are?
And they were walking
They were talking
What a waste of time
What a waste of time
You're just wasting time
What a waste of time
What a waste of time
You're just wasting time
What a waste of time
What a waste of time
You're just wasting time
What a waste of time
What a waste of time
You're just wasting time
The lyrics of Princess Chelsea's song "Wasting Time" describe the singer's observations of someone who is simply going about their daily routine, without any sense of purpose or direction. The singer sees this person walking, talking, and sitting around doing nothing. She also notices them drinking coffee with a friend, shopping around, and waiting around to die. Through her observations, the singer comes to the realization that this person is wasting their time, living a life without intention or direction.
The repeated chorus of "What a waste of time, you're just wasting time" serves as a biting critique of this individual's lack of drive and motivation. The singer seems to be urging the person to take action, to try something new, and to stop wasting their time on meaningless activities. The lines "You think that I'm so cool, but you don't even try" serves as a wake-up call, letting the person know that their admiration for the singer is misguided if they're not willing to make an effort to improve their own life.
Overall, "Wasting Time" is a commentary on the importance of purpose and direction in life. It serves as a reminder that time is a precious commodity, and that it's up to us to make the most of it.
