Wasted
Tiesto feat. 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
In Tiësto's song "Wasted", he and Matthew Koma describe a relationship that's only good when they're drunk or high, and can easily let go of their inhibitions. The first verse talks about how when they are under the influence, it's easier to fake affection for one another. They only ever have real conversations when they're about to have sex.
The second verse mentions how they're caught in a cycle of negativity, but they still can't seem to let go of each other. Even though they know they're not good for each other, they're willing to suffer through the pain and experience one more night together. The chorus repeats the sentiment that they're better off drunk, as it makes it easier for them to say what they really feel and take risks. They both seem to be stuck on each other, despite acknowledging the toxicity of their relationship.
Overall, the song captures the complexities of a relationship that has good moments and bad moments, and the idea that sometimes, being intoxicated makes it easier to cope with the difficulties.
