Exploring themes of fleeting time and the pursuit of hedonistic thrills, this song delves into the lives of individuals caught in a cycle of reckless abandon. The narrative follows a woman characterized by her impulsive nature and a man living on the edge, both embodying the essence of untamed freedom. The lyrics suggest a transient existence marked by moments of intense passion and danger, with metaphors like "ticking time bomb" and "live wire" highlighting their volatile lifestyles. The recurring refrain, "take the time to waste a moment," emphasizes the paradoxical value in savoring ephemeral experiences without seeking redemption or forgiveness. Ultimately, the song portrays a celebration of living in the present, embracing life's imperfections and uncertainties without regret.
Waste a Moment
Lyrics
All the way from Waco to WE-HO with a rabbit on her chain
Drove a little slick car to tend bar with the static on her brain
She's a little burner, burner, gonna throw you to the flame
Little ticking time bomb, time bomb, gonna blow us all away
Oh, take the time to waste a moment
Oh, never ask to be forgiven
Sexy was her boyfriend, with no kin, always running from the law
Every other weekend, the week ends with his back at her claw
He's a live wire, wired, shooting sparks in the night
He's a gun for a hire, hired with a bead in his sights
Oh, take the time to waste a moment
Oh, face it where the lines are broken
Oh, name a price to all that's living
Oh, never ask to be forgiven
Oh, take the time to waste a moment
Oh, face it where the lines are broken
Oh, name a price to all that's living
Oh, never ask to be forgiven
