Sassafras Roots Lyrics

Roaming 'round your house
Wasting your time
No obligation, just
Wasting your time
So why are you alone?
Wasting your time
When you could be with me
Wasting your time

Well, I'm a waste like you
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time, too?

Warding off regrets
Wasting your time
Smoking cigarettes
Wasting your time
I'm just a parasite
Wasting your time
Applying myself to
Wasting your time

Well, I'm a waste like you
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time, too?

So why are you alone?
Wasting your time
When you could be with me
Wasting your time

Well, I'm a waste like you
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time, too?
May I waste your time, too?
May I waste your time, too?
May I waste your time, too?

Yet, he seeks companionship in his idleness, urging the other person to join him in his aimless existence. The song is essentially a commentary on the disillusionment and existential crisis often faced by young adults. It portrays how they grapple with their identity, purpose and place in society amidst the pressures of growing up. #Youth #Disillusionment #Aimlessness #ExistentialCrisis
