şimdilerde olmayan zwanın olmuş şarkısı.

in between dim hours
in between dull days
i'm out counting flowers
i'm still chasing faith
mistake me for a pilot
mistake me for a face you know
consider this old conscience
let no trouble come my way

wasting time, you'd understand
wasting time
wasting time, we'll make our plans
wasting time

it's you alone i wish to free
on you alone i'll focus
it's not the change i wish to believe
this coming of the locusts
skipping like a skimming stone
skimming the bad chapters
swimming thru your tides alone
swimming on your laughter, we're after

wasting time, you'd understand
wasting time
wasting time, let's take the chance
wasting time

you and i, we understand
time is not for making
but just because we don't have a clue
doesn't mean we're faking, we're wasting

wasting time, you'd understand
wasting time
wasting time, we'll make our plans
wasting time

and i'm just a waste of her, energy, (don'tcha know)
she's just wasting my time, mmm hmm
so why don't we get together
and we could waste, everything, tonight
and we could waste, we could waste it all, tonight

yeah, (don'tcha know now)
we could waste it

and i don't pretend to know what you know, mmm mmm
now please don't pretend to know what's on my mind
but if we already knew everything that everybody knows
we would have, nothing to learn, tonight
and we would have, nothing to show, tonight
oh

but everybody thinks that everybody knows
about everybody else, nobody knows
anything, about themselves
because they're all worried about everybody else
yeah (don'tcha know now, you should know by now)

this love's just a waste of our, energy,
don'tcha know, that this life's just a waste of our time, mmm
so why don't we get together
and we could waste, everything, tonight
and we could waste
we could waste it all...
yeah

but everybody thinks that
everybody knows about
everybody else
but nobody knows, anything, about themselves
because they're all worried about everybody else yeah
don'tcha know now, you should know by now

blink 182'nun 1995 çıkışlı ilk albümü cheshire cat'den çok süper bir şarkı.
sözleri;
i'm wasting time thinking about a girl
and stealing her away from her world
she and i would run away
i think of all the things that i'd say

we'd talk about important things
and i picture it in my dreams
she'd teach me about modern art
and i'd show her it's okay to fart and

maybe i'd impress her
by being in a band and
maybe if i act real tough
she'd let me hold her hand and
maybe i'll win her heart
by writing this song about her

sometimes i sit at home and
wonder if she's sitting at home
thinking of me and wondering if i'm
sitting at home, thinking about her
or am i just wasting my time

remembering how she laughed at kinko's
when i made fun of that guy
remebering the look she gave me
when i told her that i used to fry

i really want to ask her out
but my ego could never take it
and even if i got the balls
you know that the cougar would never make it

and in my town you can't drive naked

and maybe i'd impress her
by being in a band and
maybe if i act real tough
she'd let me hold her hand and
maybe i'll win her heart
by writing this song about her

sometimes i sit at home and
wonder if she's sitting at home
thinking of me and wondering if i'm
sitting at home, thinking about her
or am i just wasting my time

am i just wasting my time
am i just wasting my time
am i just wasting my time
wasting my time thinking about a girl

seattle'ın 90'lı yılların başındaki geri planda kalmış grunge gruplarından my sister's machine'i alice in chains'ın bir tık daha hard rock'a kaymış kardeşi olarak kabul edebiliriz ki ortak geçmişleri bulunuyor... adamların şarkılarının geneli bol wah pedallı, uzun sololu ve ciddi oranda sertken, sözler kardeşleri kadar sanatsal değil; daha direkman, daha basit... ilk albümleri, 1992 model, diva'da yer alan wasting time ise "bir my sister's machine şarkısı nasıl olur?" sorusuna cevap.

temamız klasik grunge teması aslında; boşa giden zamanlar, hayal kırıklıkları... değiştiremediğin gerçeklerin "doğar, yaşar ve ölürsün" şeklindeki üçlüsü... verdiğin basiretsiz kararların yaşamın olması. hepsini bir şarkıda toplayabilmiş adamlarımız. o yüzden sözlerini de yazayım tam olsun;

live or die and the sun will shine
look how far we go
waste our lives and spend our love
why ı just don't know
ı know now ı can't go back
to the things ı couldn't face
ı blinded my own eyes
to the times ı just erased

ı shot myself down
oh, ı never tried to live
all will be forgiven
ıt's coming back around
all my hopes and fears
all will be forgiven, yeah
all will be forgiven

ı was wasting my time
yeah, yeah

there's some things that'll never change
you're born; you live; you die
make blind choices how we live
never asking why
ı know now ı can't go back
to the things ı couldn't face
ı blinded my own eyes
to the times ı just erased

ı shot myself down
oh, ı never tried to live
all will be forgiven
ıt's coming back around
all my hopes and fears
all will be forgiven, yeah
all will be forgiven

ı was wasting my time
yeah, yeah

ı shot myself down
oh, ı never tried to live
all will be forgiven
ıt's coming back around
all my hopes and fears
all will be forgiven

ı shot myself down
oh, ı never tried to live
all will be forgiven
ıt's coming back around
all my hopes and fears
all will be forgiven, yeah
all will be forgiven, yeah
