Overall Meaning

The song "Waste" by twen appears to be a reflection on the desire to break free from expectations and live life on one's own terms. The repeated refrain of "if I'm meant to be on my own and I were to die" suggests a certain fatalism or acceptance of the potential consequences of pursuing one's individual desires. The verses express a desire to be "unbroken" and to live fully, even if it means leaving others behind.

The chorus, with its repetition of "make you wanna waste it," seems to be a call to action - a challenge to listeners to embrace the idea of wasting time and pursuing experiences that bring them joy, even if it is not what society expects of them. The phrase "make you wanna be someone" further emphasizes the importance of individuality and authenticity in the pursuit of happiness.

Overall, the lyrics of "Waste" seem to be a meditation on the fear and uncertainty that can come with pursuing one's true desires, but also an affirmation of the importance of doing so. The idea of "wasting time" may be seen as a rejection of the idea that productivity and efficiency are the only measures of a successful life, and a celebration of the small, joyful moments that make life worth living.
