Waster
The Royston Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These words don't have meaning
I wish that they would
My brains are on the ceiling
But my heads stuck in the ground
All my life I've been dreaming
Never getting things done
I only laugh to stop screaming
So lock the doors so I can't run

In ten years time I'll still be doing nothing
Onto something new you know I'm just bluffing
I'm always in a hole
I go through phases
Living on parole
With all these faces
I'm turning over
But you know
It isn't gonna last

Can't dispose of these feelings
They're always bringing me down
I find it hard to keep breathing
Your words are clogging up my lungs
Happiness is decieving
In suspense when its around
I'm mostly thinking bout leaving
So lock the doors so I can't run

In ten years time I'll still be doing nothing
Onto something new you know Im just bluffing
I'm always in a hole
I go through phases
Living on parole
With all these faces
Im turning over
But you know
It isn't gonna last

This isn't going to last

Overall Meaning

The Royston Club's song "Waster" is a reflective track that speaks to the struggles of feeling stuck and unable to move forward in life. The opening lines "These words don't have meaning / I wish that they would" convey a sense of frustration with the inability to express oneself. The next line "My brains are on the ceiling / But my heads stuck in the ground" adds to this feeling of being stuck, trapped between conflicting thoughts and emotions. The lyrics go on to discuss the difficulty of getting things done, the need to laugh to avoid screaming, and the desire to escape through locking doors to prevent running away.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "In ten years time I'll still be doing nothing / Onto something new you know I'm just bluffing." This speaks to the frustration of feeling like nothing is changing and the fear of being stuck in the same place forever. The lyrics also mention going through phases and living on parole with all these faces, speaking to the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of repetition.


The second verse continues to explore these feelings of being trapped and unable to move forward. The lyrics describe feeling weighed down by emotions and having difficulty breathing. Happiness is described as deceiving and the desire to leave is once again mentioned, with the need to lock doors to prevent running away.
