Wasted
You vs Yesterday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
where the lights they dim as her clothes fall off she said,
you've got to make this count.
And I replied,
well I'm a little shy god you smell so nice and I
I don't know if this feels right,
and she says baby hold on tight for one hell of a ride.
she's coming over tomorrow afternoon
crawling back for more.
And I want her too,
but for selfish reasons my conscience never left her room.
Tell me what's a boy to do?
So maybe take those clothes off,
we've work to do.
This night if far from over baby,
you know the way we move feels right
it's this bed where we'll do all our fighting.
and in the morning we can analyze
how many breaths we take
to beats our hearts made
it's written on your face.
I guess I'll just have to face it,
another drink and I'm wasted.
Now can you feel that energy pouring out of you and me?
Can you see it? We were never meant to be.
You created a monster just wait, just wait and see
You're nothing but another one night stand to me
to me, to me.
This night is far from over baby,
you know the way we move feels right.
It's this bed were we'll do all the fighting
and in the morning we can analyze
how many breaths we take
to beats our heart made
it's written on your face.
I guess I'll just have to face it,
another drink and I'm wasted.
Another drink and I'm wasted.
Another drink and I'm wasted.
Another drink and I'm wasted.
The lyrics of "Wasted" by You vs Yesterday describe the emotional tug-of-war between two people who are engaging in a one-night stand. It begins with the male protagonist feeling inadequate, both in his ability to perform and also in his hesitation about whether to engage in casual sex or not. The female protagonist, however, is more assertive and urges him to embrace the moment, telling him to "hold on tight for one hell of a ride." The song then describes the physical encounter that follows, with the male protagonist seemingly succumbing to the experience despite his reservations.
The song moves on to explore the morning after. The male protagonist seems to be grappling with the guilt of his actions, questioning whether he should have given in to his desires. He acknowledges that he has become addicted to the physical pleasure that he shared with the female protagonist. The final lines of the song then reveal that he sees her as nothing more than another one night stand and that he is already planning to move on to the next experience.
The song portrays the contrast between the initial hesitation and the overpowering lust that then takes over, ultimately leading to a sense of guilt and detachment from the other person. It highlights the emotional complexity of casual sex and how perpetrators of it can sometimes feel trapped by its consequences.

This is the part,
where the lights they dim as her clothes fall off she said,
you've got to make this count.
We are in the moment where the lights dim and she removes her clothes. She looks at me and says that I must make the most of this moment.
And I replied,
well I'm a little shy god you smell so nice and I
I don't know if this feels right,
and she says baby hold on tight for one hell of a ride.
I confess that I am a bit nervous, but I appreciate her beauty and aroma. I am unsure if this is the right thing to do, but she encourages me to hold on tight for an exciting experience.
So here we go,
she's coming over tomorrow afternoon
crawling back for more.
And I want her too,
but for selfish reasons my conscience never left her room.
Tell me what's a boy to do?
So maybe take those clothes off,
we've work to do.
She is coming over again tomorrow, seeking another intimate encounter. I desire her as well, but know that it is mostly for selfish reasons. I struggle with what the right decision is, but ultimately give in to temptation again.
This night if far from over baby,
you know the way we move feels right
it's this bed where we'll do all our fighting.
and in the morning we can analyze
how many breaths we take
to beats our hearts made
it's written on your face.
I guess I'll just have to face it,
another drink and I'm wasted.
The night is young, and we both feel a strong connection. We will spend the night making love and fighting for our pleasure. In the morning, we will analyze how many breaths we took while our hearts beat as one. Looking at your face, I realize that I will need to have another drink to deal with the consequences of our actions.
Now can you feel that energy pouring out of you and me?
Can you see it? We were never meant to be.
You created a monster just wait, just wait and see
You're nothing but another one night stand to me
to me, to me.
Can you feel the passion between us? It is undeniable but shallow. We were never meant to be together in any meaningful way. You have created a monster in me, and you will see the consequences of that soon enough. In the end, you are nothing to me but a one-night stand.
Another drink and I'm wasted.
Another drink and I'm wasted.
Another drink and I'm wasted.
I know that I will regret what happened tonight, and I will need to drink to numb that pain. With each drink, I will become more and more wasted, further distancing myself from the reality of my actions.

This song brings back the good vibes of music I listened to in the early 2000's.
