Wasted Time
Royal Hunt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're out huntin' if I'm the prize - so roll the ball!
I'm like a mad dog, keep fightin' - back against the wall!

Come on I'll show you the world you never seen,
Come on I'll teach you - good fight is when you win!
(So listen up)

Wasted time, like a poison in my wine, I call it
The perfect crime - like a bullet in the back it search you.
Time is running out it hurts you,
Goin' down because of wasted time





I'll keep on tryin' - NO ONE ALLOWED - I'm out too late.
See losers cryin' - the sort thing I use to hate.

Overall Meaning

The song "Wasted Time" by Royal Hunt is an empowering and empowering rock anthem that invites us to embrace our inner fighter and overcome the challenges life throws at us with courage and determination. The lyrics express the frustration of someone who has allowed themselves to be held back and trapped by "wasted time" - the moments of stagnation and indecision that rob us of the opportunity to progress and reach new heights. The singer urges us to break free from this cycle of self-sabotage and reclaim control over our destiny. He declares himself a "prize" and a force to be reckoned with, ready to fight back against those who doubt him and prove them wrong.


The chorus reinforces this message of strength and resilience, likening wasted time to a "poison in my wine" that must be purged from the system. The singer sees wasted time as the ultimate crime, one that can sneak up on you like a bullet from behind, robbing you of your dreams and aspirations. The pain and regret of lost opportunities are keenly felt, with time "running out" and the sense of desperation and urgency clear.


Overall, "Wasted Time" is a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt stuck, disillusioned or defeated - a reminder that we have the power to shape our own destiny, and that every moment counts.
