Formed in 1992 in Den Bosch ('s-Hertogenbosch) (NL), Undeclinable Ambuscade spent a couple of years getting their shit together before releasing their first record, "Softsqueakingernieonswing". Followed not long after by the highly energetic 4 track CD "Fastflavouredfartcore...." These records got the band noticed. They then started to play more or less everywhere in the Netherlands. Supporting the likes of Bad Religion, Offspring, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Ten Foot Pole, Dog Eat Dog and Shelter to name but a few. Their biggest break at the time was playing the Lowlands festival in '96. Around the same time Ignition Records released their debut full length "Their Greatest Adventures."
Epitaph recognised the blossoming talents of the band and signed them in the summer of 1997 before re-releasing "Their Greatest Adventures" in November of that year. Undeclinable Ambuscade then embarked on what may be indeed one of their greatest adventures so far; writing their Epitaph debut.
After 9 months of hard work, fine song writing, booze, cigarettes and some damn fine coffee, One For The Money came screaming from the bloody womb of RS 29 studios. Produced with a full on, in yo' face sound by Oscar Holleman (Gorefest) and Menno Bakker (NRA, Human Alert). One For The Money takes you through tales of anger, confusion, love, despair, discrimination and death.
"Going Crazy" where a groupie takes her dreams just a step too far. Then there's the testicle shriveling "Trapped," about a girl who desperately wants to be a one of the boys. One to Di for, "Chatterbox," a hell of an explosive song against landmines. "7 Years," straight from the heart, taking you into the cataclysm of the notorious 7 year itch.
Later the changed there name in Undeclinable because everyone called them like that. They released Sound City Burning under that name. Lead singer Jasper quit the band while they where recording a new album. They have a new singer now and are known as The Undeclinables
Waste of Time
The Undeclinables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm choking on my bile, if I'm smart I try not to think for awhile
A part of me wants to deny what will come
Deception, the dwelling in agony
I can't stand that I am losing this game
Was I too eager after your affection?
This rejection is more that I can take
I overcome what is done, I haven't lost for so long
The next sunrise will be the worst in my life
The enemy is trying to rip out my heart
They smile when I bleed before them
I can't stand that I am losing this game
Was I too eager after your affection?
This rejection is more that I can take
Was it just to surface that I got into?
"You're a waste of time" she said
"You will never be mine, no"
The lyrics to The Undeclinables's song Waste Of Time are about the pain of rejection and the struggle to accept it. The first lines describe a feeling of weakness and helplessness, with the singer on their knees and choking on their own bile. They try to distract themselves from their thoughts because they know that the truth will be painful to confront. They are torn between wanting to deny what's happening and knowing that they have to face it.
The second verse reveals that the singer is in a relationship that has ended badly, and they are struggling to accept the rejection they have received. They question whether they were too eager to pursue affection from their partner, and wonder if it was just a shallow attraction that led them into the relationship. They are overcome with feelings of inadequacy and failure, and fear that this defeat will affect them for a long time.
The chorus of the song repeats the harsh words that the singer's partner spoke to them: "You're a waste of time, she said. You will never be mine, no." The pain of these words lingers throughout the song, and the singer struggles to find a way to move on from them.
Overall, Waste Of Time is a song that captures the feelings many people experience after a painful breakup. The lyrics are raw and emotional, and the music reflects the frustration and anger that can come with rejection.
