Wasted
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
The lyrics to Tiesto's song, "Wasted" featuring Matthew Koma explores the concept of liking someone better and being able to connect with them more when in a state of intoxication. The line, “I like us better when we’re wasted, it makes it easier to fake it,” suggests that the singer is more comfortable in a state of inebriation because they do not have to put up a facade or pretend to be someone they are not. When they are sober, they may find it more challenging to express their true feelings and emotions. The line, “The only time we really talk is when our clothes are coming off,” might imply that the singer believes that physical attraction contributes significantly to their connection, as they feel they can only communicate when they are naked.
In the second verse, Koma sings, "You're a glass half empty, sipping my ocean dry," which can be interpreted that the singer's partner is always negative and draining their emotions. "All the grief I'd give you, is energy I can live without," suggests that Koma feels drained by the negativity of the partner and could not handle another day of such behavior. However, they can still stand to be with them for one more night. In the chorus, the line, “Lay all your laundry on the bed, and then I'll lay it instead,” implies that being vulnerable with each other is easier when in a state of inebriation.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that the feeling of being comfortable with someone occurs when they can drop their guard and not pretend to be someone they are not. The use of alcohol or drugs as a means of achieving that level of openness is a common reaction.
