Im a solitary man and that's no fun at all
Im wasting time by

I can't go out at night so Im trapped in here
Wasting time by

So Im just wasting time with you and Julia
Just wasting time
With you and Julia
Just wasting time with
In my room I take photographs
Pictures of the walls in the dark
And I
Cant stay in here much longer now
Oh boy, I wish a had something to do
So Im just wasting time with you and Julia




Just wasting time with you and
Julia [x5]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Superheroes' song Wasting Time depict the singer's feeling of loneliness and isolation. The first line "I'm a solitary man and that's no fun at all" highlights his desolation despite being alone. He finds himself constantly bored and unoccupied, wasting time alone in his room while being trapped in his own thoughts. The second verse highlights his desperation and restlessness, unable to even take solace in his own hobbies. He takes photographs of his walls in the dark but quickly realizes he cannot stay in his own company any longer. The chorus of the song, "So I'm just wasting time with you and Julia, Just wasting time with you and Julia," depicts his futile attempt to fill the void of his loneliness by involving other people in his life.


One interpretation of this song is that it speaks to the universal experience of loneliness and the lengths that people go to avoid it. The singer is trying to avoid the empty feeling that comes with being alone by finding company in others, even if it ultimately ends up as a waste of time. This song highlights how true connection and fulfillment cannot be found by simply avoiding loneliness, but rather through genuine relationships and meaningful experiences.
