Like a millionaire, but with nothing to spare. All this time on my hands doesn't go anywhere. But should you think to cry, I know that… It's not right, that you're there, with your love going spare. You're like a waste of space in an empty room, Just hoping, someone gets to you soon. The way you run around is not so clever, I warn you, honey I love you.
With a heart full of song, I will drive you away, This I've known all along but I don't think I'd blame, You for passing on… ‘Cos it's not right, that you care so much more than I care. I'm just a waste of space, and I rarely move. Here's hoping, someone gets to me soon. The way you run around is not so clever, I warn you honey, I love you.
All this time on my hands doesn't go anywhere.
But should you think to cry, I know that…
It's not right, that you're there, with your love going spare.
You're like a waste of space in an empty room,
Just hoping, someone gets to you soon.
The way you run around is not so clever,
I warn you, honey I love you.
This I've known all along but I don't think I'd blame,
You for passing on…
‘Cos it's not right, that you care so much more than I care.
I'm just a waste of space, and I rarely move.
Here's hoping, someone gets to me soon.
The way you run around is not so clever,
I warn you honey, I love you.
If you can lose this waste of space.
曲名為廢材,第一段歌詞的敘述者以Waste Of Space出發,用纖細的語調唱著一無所成,一無是處,甚至不值得任何人來愛。你為什麼要靠過來呢?與我為伴也只是浪費你珍貴的時間。
於是整首歌就像自問自答,一個無法自我肯定的我,以及一個自我肯定的我,絕望與相信希望兩種心態的掙扎與拉扯。隨著音牆增強,從這首歌演繹了從陰鬱中掙扎面向未來的心情。
Waste Of Space排在整張專輯的最末是完美的收尾,雖然沒有前面曲目的絢麗,但展現主唱高超的情感演繹,短短四分鐘淋漓盡致表達各種幽微纖細的自我,餘韻無窮。
