Wasted By Cartel:
So this was Lindsey's Cool Writing Project, and I just thought that there was more depth then what was said.
Now Lindsey thought that this was just one story about one man's life in particular, which could be extremely true, but I was thinking something different.
It seems to me that the first verse is about three different people. Each one gets their lives taken way so quickly that it doesn't seem fair in any way. Each person had so much going for them and then their precious life is taken so unfairly from them each.
Then the chorus that we're all so wasted explains how their lives were wasted because they could've accomplished so much more.
The second verse is about three people who are similar to the first three, but they aren't the same.
They have their lives but aren't happy with their lives. Either they're being treated unfairly, aren't being noticed/appreciated, or are just simply unhappy.
The chorus wasted proves the point that these people are getting cheated out of happiness which is making them waste important parts of their life.
The third verse is different to me. The first stanza refers back to the 7 year old, the second stanza back to the 18 year old who wanted to move out, and the 3rd is the narrator wondering if his life will end up the same.
Overall, I think the term 'wasted' points out that some of us who are given the gift of life take it for granted. Some people don't realize how easily bad things can happen to you, just like the people in the first verse.
This song is sad, but don't let it be the theme of your life!
Don't take life for granted or you'll waste it.
:D
