Waste
nomu. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got me thinking I could fall for you
You're just a devil on a dress
That I keep talking to
I almost fucked it up
I almost fucked it up again but then I cut it off

Now I don't want nobody next to me
You only want me for attention where's the rest of me
Yeah
You're feeling better off the ecstasy
And I can tell that you don't care it's like you're testing me

I'm getting tired of the same shit
I've tried it different but it's always hard to change it
And you don't even know my name yet
Give me a chance and I'mma waste it all

Got me thinking I could fall for you
You're just a devil in a dress
That I keep talking to
I almost fucked it up
I almost fucked it up again but then I cut it off
And you don't even know my name yet
Give me a chance and I'mma waste it all

I'mma waste it all
I almost fucked it up again but then I cut it off
Thinking I could fall for you
Just a devil in a dress that I keep talking to
I almost fucked it up
I almost fucked it up again but then I cut it off

Now I don't want nobody next to me
You only want me for attention where's the rest of me

(Nomu)
Waste it all




I'mma waste it all
I almost fucked it up again but then I cut it off

Overall Meaning

The song Waste by nomu. talks about a person who is attracted to someone they know is not good for them. The person is a devil (symbolizing evil) in a dress, but despite that, the singer almost fell for them. However, they stopped themselves before things got worse. The person who was the devil in the dress only wanted attention, not the singer as a whole. They are feeling better off the ecstasy (perhaps indicating drug use) and don't much care that they're testing the singer's patience. The singer is tired of the same old stuff and has tried different things, but it's always hard to bring about lasting change.
