Wasteland
verite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of words I'm trying to say
But they don't come out right
Like I could be your friend
If you had anything to offer me tonight
I want a heart unbreakable
So I can feel it all
It's like I'm living in a wasteland
Of words I'm trying to say
But they don't come out right
Like I could be your friend
If you had anything to offer me tonight
But I am just a fool
Cause I could be in love if I really tried
Holding onto something I can't see
So you can comfort me tonight
I can feel disaster
Falling on me after
The sun comes up
You say goodnight
But I keep crawling over you for now
Cause everything I feel is a waste of time
Holding onto something I can't see
Won't comfort me tonight
I want a heart unbreakable
So I can feel it all.
It's like I'm living in a wasteland
Of words I'm trying to say
But they don't come out right
Like I could be your friend
If you had anything to offer me tonight
But I am just a fool
Cause I could be in love if I really tried
Holding onto something I can't see
So you can comfort me tonight
I want a heart unbreakable
I want a heart unbreakable
I want a heart unbreakable
So I can feel it all.
It's like I'm living in a wasteland
Of words I'm trying to say
But they don't come out right
Like I could be your friend
If you had anything to offer me tonight
But I am just a fool
Cause I could be in love if I really tried
Holding onto something I can't see
So you can comfort me tonight
The song 'Wasteland' by Verite is a reflection on the difficulty of navigating relationships when one's emotions and desires are unclear. The opening lines "It's like I'm living in a wasteland of words I'm trying to say, but they don't come out right" convey the frustration of not being able to articulate one's innermost feelings. The singer longs for a deeper connection with someone, but feels as though they are constantly grasping at something just out of reach. The desire for an "unbreakable heart" is a desire to be able to fully experience all the joy and pain of love, without fear of being hurt.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "like I could be your friend if you had anything to offer me tonight" which suggests a certain level of emotional detachment. The singer is open to the possibility of friendship, but only if there is something more substantial being offered. The line "I am just a fool cause I could be in love if I really tried" is a recognition that the road to love is not easy, and requires vulnerability and effort. Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing and uncertainty, and the struggle to communicate one's true feelings.
