Waste
Talk-Sick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I couldn't look away like an accident
Somebody left no survivors
Can't believe what an idiot I was
I said I said you were the one
I guess it's easier said than it was done
I won't buy but it's you I sold
You turn on me for truth be told
This is the last goodbye
So I'll keep searching, searching until I find
A better waste of time
Save your words, I'll save my life
And if I'm searching, searching until I die
It's better waste of time
Gloves off, it's better to feel for me
I'm not afraid of catching your disease
What you got shouldn't cut like cancer
Leaving you was my only answer
It might be hard it must admit
Nothing's better in bed than a crazy bitch
I tried hard to make everything work
But when you miss me I hope it hurts
This is the last goodbye
So I'll keep searching, searching until I find
A better waste of time
Save your words, I'll save my life
And if I'm searching, searching until I die
It's better waste of time
This is the last goodbye
So I'll keep searching, searching until I find
A better waste of time
Save your words, I'll save my life
And if I'm searching, searching until I die
It's better waste of time
The lyrics to Talk-Sick's song Waste suggest a relationship has ended due to one person feeling betrayed by the other. The first couple of lines talk about how the singer couldn't look away from the situation, similar to an accident. The next line, "somebody left no survivors," makes it seem like the situation was catastrophic and no one came out unscathed. The singer then reflects on how they believed their ex was the one, but it was easier said than done. They admit to selling themselves out for their ex and how their ex ultimately turned on them.
The chorus talks about this being the last goodbye and how the singer will keep searching until they find a better waste of time. They don't want to hear their ex's words and will focus on saving their own life. They admit that they will continue searching until they die, as long as it's a better waste of time.
The following verse discusses how the singer is not afraid of being hurt again by their ex, but they won't catch their "disease." They believe that leaving their ex was the only answer, even though it was hard. They end the verse with a suggestive line about how nothing is better in bed than a "crazy bitch," insinuating that their ex is unstable.
Overall, the theme of the song seems to be moving on from a toxic relationship and not looking back. The singer acknowledges the difficulties of their situation but also admits that it's better to be alone than in a bad relationship. The song's title, "Waste," could refer to the time and effort the singer put into the relationship, ultimately realizing it was all a waste.
