Juice WRLD "Wasted" Official Lyrics & Meaning - YouTube

Some people just get high to numb themselves so they won’t feel certain things.

When you get to a certain point of intoxication, you’re unable to operate, like your motor

skills become very out of pocket.

CBMIX is the producer of the beat.

He also recorded me and engineered it.

Very talented producer.

He’s done a lot of stuff for Pump.

Friend of mine.

From time to time, we lock in and have our studio sessions.

You know, it’s just one of the things that spawned out of one of our sessions.

Then later on, Uzi heard it.

He wanted to hop on it, made his verse really quickly.

Very, very, very hard verse.

The rawest thing he said…

He said something like, “Tats in the middle of my head like I’m Avatar."

"That is the reason I ride on my Appas.”

That’s hard.

‘Cause Avatar the Last Airbender rode on Appa.

That was like the flying bison.

And he uses that as saying opp as in like an opponent, like the opposition.

And like catching them when they’re off guard.

So like the way that he tied that shit together was hard.

When “Wasted” first came to my head, obviously I was thinking about being fucked up.

And then also the GTA thing.

One of my favorite games coming up playing, I used to sneak and play Vice City and San

Andreas all the time.

So I was just kind of tying different things in, macking to the same concept.

I believe that I don’t have any type of patience.

So that’s why I kinda used the line, “I’m a doctor,” meaning I have drugs but I don’t

have patience.

So I guess to certain people getting close to Satan is like the bees knees nowadays,

like a fashion trend.

Like, “Hey let’s cut ourselves and make pentagrams out of the blood.”

Whatever the fuck people do.

Just keep that shit away from me man.

That shit’s weird.

Fucking weirdos.

I feel like when you get so high, some people get so high, they’re just in a different place.

And I just compared that to being in the Matrix and for people that don’t know what the

Matrix is, you’re uncultured.

Being like the pretty face of something dark that’s stirring behind it.

So Pocahontas masked the Medusa.

Very dangerous.

It’s not recommended at all.

That's not how they’re meant to be taken.

They're not meant to taken at all.

It’s like I die at the end of the story and then it’s like, it happens all the time

so it’s just another funeral.

Same vices, addictions, lust.

Shit like that.

I believe that my biggest demon is laziness.

It’s what I struggle with the most but since I know what it is, it’s up to me to change it.

One cup on me, that means I’m not sharing shit.

It’s just myself.

I don’t got nobody to share it with.

I have a lot of associates but I don’t consider a lot of them friends just due to different situations.

That was something I used to tie it back into the original concept.

“Waste it” versus “wasted” is just like a play on words.

It’s like kind of like a clever ending to the song.
