Razorblades
Story of the Year Lyrics

The lyrics to Story of the Year's song "Razorblades" express the feelings of betrayal and disappointment after having had a friendship come to an end. The singer is addressing their former friend, whom they describe as a walking example of themselves. They had a conversation (possibly an argument) that meant nothing to the singer, and they watched the world fall on their friend. The singer admits to having wasted too much time on this friend, and though they should have seen the end coming, it still hurts nonetheless. The friend is encouraged to run until their legs break, and the singer delivers a reminder that their friendship meant nothing to them in the end.

The lyrics convey a sense of bitterness, regret, and a feeling of being done with the situation. The singer acknowledges that they were too young and proud to understand what was happening or to handle the situation better. The repetition of the phrase "This wasted so many nights and again, I've wasted so much time on a friend," emphasizes the sense of frustration and wasted effort that came with the friendship.

Interestingly, the repetitive structure of the song's lyrics featuring the same phrases repeated throughout reiterates the frustration that comes with wasted time and missed opportunities. The song is also notable for its use of heavy guitar and a fast-paced tempo, which adds to the overall sense of frustration and anger conveyed in the lyrics.
