Over the weekend I listened to a song from an upcoming album. I was mesmerized by the lyrics and really tried to understand them and what they really truly meant. The song is Waste a Moment by Kings Of Leon.
The most important lyric of the song is held within the chorus. It goes a little something like this:
"Oh, take the time to waste a moment,"
"Oh, never ask to be forgiven"
The song itself isn't a long one but this chorus strikes a chord with me. My odyssey page is littered with sentimental articles and go pick me ups. This article itself though is a bit different.
Take the time to waste a moment...
Life has you down most of the time, but the one thing you can always do is spend a moment to do what you love. The song is important because what it's ultimately saying, is that you can take the time to waste a moment. You have you're entire life to work and do what you're supposed to do, but you should be able to do something you love to do when you're able to do it. I know for me personally I have so much going on in life and I need to do so many things and go to so many places, yet I always seem to never have time for myself when that's the most important thing in the world. You need to have time to yourself to ultimately make yourself a happy person.
The chorus also says to never ask to be forgiven. If you have a guilty pleasure that is non lethal or law breaking, you should go and do it every once and a while and never have to ask for forgiveness.
This is the entire set of lyrics to this song:
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
This article is short, but you should go take a listen to the song. It's a great song and I cannot wait for the album to come out soon.
