Wasted
Tiesto [www.MyFaza2Music.com] 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
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
You are a catch twenty-two
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
The lyrics to Tiesto's "Wasted" seem to be a reflection on the nature of a relationship, which appears to function best when the couple is intoxicated. The singer notes that they like each other better when they are wasted because it allows them to "fake it", which suggests that there is some underlying tension or incompatibility in the relationship that needs to be masked to work. The singer also notes that the only time they talk is when their clothes are coming off, which underscores the physical nature of their relationship. Overall, the lyrics suggest that the relationship is not entirely healthy or sustainable but that the couple is willing to endure it for the sake of convenience.
The second verse touches on some of the negative qualities in the relationship. The singer notes that the other person is like a "glass half empty" and drains them emotionally. The metaphor of the planets also suggests that the two are not quite in alignment, which again hints at some fundamental differences that are getting in the way of a truly fulfilling relationship. However, despite these issues, the singer notes that they could "stand [the other person] one more night", indicating that they are willing to continue the relationship in its current form.
Overall, "Wasted" is a melancholy yet somewhat hopeful song about the dynamics of a relationship that works best when the couple is under the influence. The lyrics suggest that there are underlying issues that need to be addressed for the relationship to truly thrive, but that the couple is willing to make do with what they have for the time being.

Took me years to find. Couldn't remember the name of the song or the artist. Had to go to greatest songs and got lucky with the year.
