Wasted
Tiësto/Matthew Koma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It makes it easier to fake it
The only time we really talk
Is when our clothes are coming off
I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
Oh oh oh oh
You are a glass half empty
Sipping my ocean dry
Emotionally spent me
Til none of our planets could align
But I could stand you one more night
I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
I like us better when we're wasted
Oh oh oh oh
You are a catch 22
Either way I miss out
All of the grief I'd give you
Is energy I can live without
But I could stand you one more night
I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
I like us better when we're wasted
Oh oh oh oh
I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
I like us better when we're wasted
Oh oh oh oh
The lyrics of "Wasted" by Tiësto and Matthew Koma explore the idea that people tend to reveal their true selves when they are under the influence of alcohol. The song is about two people who are not on good terms with each other but find it easier to connect and communicate when they are both drunk. When they are sober, they have issues aligning and communicating, but when they are wasted, they are able to talk and express themselves more openly.
The chorus repeats the line "I like us better when we're wasted" as a way of emphasizing the point that being drunk allows them to be more honest and open with each other. The verses also highlight the idea that the two individuals have trouble connecting emotionally, but the alcohol allows them to overcome any obstacles that might otherwise prevent them from having a conversation.
The bridge of the song suggests that the person the singer is addressing is complicated, and that the relationship between the two can be difficult at times. However, despite this, the singer feels as if he can tolerate being around the person for one more night, especially if it means that they can connect on a deeper level.
Overall, the lyrics of "Wasted" suggest that alcohol can help people overcome emotional barriers and communicate more openly, even if only temporarily.
