Waste
U-Pistol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I'm not much use
For all the things you'd wanna use me for
I'm not much use for keeping me around
Say that with regret
We can make up for all the
Time I'd waste on your mistakes
It won't do good if you keep me on the ground
Has no use for firestarting
And even if you aim
Right between the eyes
There's no chance that I'd miss you tonight
I won't let you win
It'll take me forever
You won't let me in
The melancholy memory

Tangled in your net
Caught in your web of deceit and manipulation
You know I'm not much use
You are aware that I am not of much value to you
For all the things you'd wanna use me for
For all the ways you want to exploit me
I'm not much use for keeping me around
I am not useful to you if you just keep me nearby without actually respecting me
Say that with regret
Admitting your regret for how you treated me
We can make up for all the
We can make amends for all the
Time I'd waste on your mistakes
Time I spent dealing with the consequences of your errors
It won't do good if you keep me on the ground
Keeping me down won't benefit anyone
Be sure to complain when all of the dust in your apartment
Make sure to whine about insignificant details in your living space
Has no use for firestarting
Even the dust in your apartment serves no practical purpose
And even if you aim
And even if you try to hurt me
Right between the eyes
Directly at me, with full intention
There's no chance that I'd miss you tonight
I can't ignore you, no matter how much you hurt me
I won't let you win
I refuse to let you have power over me
It'll take me forever
It will take me a long time to heal from your actions
You won't let me in
You won't allow me to be a part of your life
The melancholy memory
The sad recollection of our past together
