Cartel - Wasted

[punkfilipina88]

life is to short to waste it<3

#LiveForNowNotForWhatIf

[OrianthiMJfan]

I love the beat and all. It's so beautiful, how many songs do you heard about life and death with a cool beat and it's meaningful and it makes you think about what the song is singing about. Rarely but this is just pure.

[darkangel015z]

nice song =))))

[marykateexoxo]

I cry every time.

[KaykitkatMagi]

:(



[3goodplans]

"We're always dead"

Once you hear it, you can't unhear.... trololol

UMAD?

[parish1994]

get the chills every time i listen to this! makes me realize my life isn't as bad as it could be

[Lwoods759]

God Dammit! I cry EVERY time! What?! it's sad :c

[juicirosi202]

The beat never fails 2 get me dancing and strutting my stuff. Love it.

[jazziePhae123]

49 people weren't wasted.

[justchecknitout4]

1:16 am. first day of 2012 and this song will be with me for a long while.

[abtar914]

Just stare at the tree on the artwork. It is almost like an illusion!

[oneindavillion]

@TheSmirkingHatter :']

[banna10101]

@OmgzZombiez Were wasted.nonono. WERE ALL WASTED!

[MyGreengoblin1]

twat waffles wit powderd sugar and anal beads

[PaitonamoreWantsYou]

The meaning behind this song is amazing. It gives me chills listening to it.

[TheSmirkingHatter]

This song is a mindfuck.

From the baby dying, to the father almost losing his own life in a car crash.

To the father dying from cancer many years later.

A boy who's father was too busy for him, to an 18 year old who is never taken seriously and ignored.

To a man who leaves his family, due to being too controlled by principals.

Then one single man being all of the above.

But.. as the message blatantly says.. Life truly is wasted.. However, you just have to learn to make the best of it.

[theChriissyD]

It sounds like inspirational Christian music... *shudder*

[XRenkoX]

@theChriissyD sterotypes cough cough



[tapewasting]

does this dude have a marching snare in his drum kit?

[TheCerealWhore]

46 people missed the like button on accident

[NiKKiBSEXCii]

damn I haven't heard cartel since 08!

wow. I miss cartel

[Allie2489]

This song makes me wish I was in the band and that the band played this song cause its just that awesome of a song.

[BlueFireEssence27]

the lyrics are in your face telling you that life sucks, but the beat's telling you that we can find happiness in it regardless of all the pain.

[MyMoonzjEEE]

@BlueFireEssence27 no i think beat means NOBODY won't care in 1 or 2 years

[parish1994]

45 people must have been really wasted because they accidently hit the dislike button

[scrubanizer]

this song is clearly not about drugs and is clearly not supposed to be depressing. Its a semi-sad message yes, but its supposed to be motivating. Its supposed to motivate youth to make themselves better than their elders. To not be wasted.

[AtomicUrgency]

This song just came on,on my playlist and when he said "It's 2:45" I looked up and it really was 2:45 ! lol

[punkfilipina88]

I wonder what would of happened if I hadn't wasted time and just met you right after school like I said. I wish I hadnt wasted time. I wish I had never left in the first place. I wish I could go back and change everything.

[TurboTrolled]

Wow, this song brings me back all the way to my 8th grade year :O. Its pretty crazy shit that i havent heard this song for like 4 years.

[EminentKnight]

Fucking love Cartel so much! Such an underrated band. I really don't understand why they're so unknown.. Check out Save Us. It's one of their saddest songs.

[kuramafoxdemon3000]

And he's 18 he couldn't wait to move out

His parents wonder what all the rush is about

They never bothered with his dreams

Only thinking of theirs.

Wonders why he doesn't call and why he doesn't care

[patas125]

I FUCKEN LOVE THE RESPONSE TO @Lordgale119

[LEDGISTER]

depressingly beautiful..... "he didnt want the kids and he didnt want his wife"...god thats horrible..

[fmalover07]

Fav song, it makes people think about life, and that you should live it to the fullest. Don't be affraid of stuff and don't care what people think just have fun.

[tiamrhodes]

This song makes me wonder if my dad felt as if he lived his life to the fullest...

[suburbangod]

Oh yeah follow @ClarkeNelson ..its meeeeeee

[Celldwish]

Thanksssssss for Posting , i Was Searching for this song

[stickersonface44]

Havent heard song in so long but still remember and love it

[ataylorscott]

This song is simply about living life to the fullest because you never know when you will die. He's saying how these people, who died, basically felt they we're invinsible and didn't think to live out their dreams, until it was too late. So their lives were WASTED.

[MrBababa90]

i don't see this song as sad, really. it's more of a sort of "call to arms" to really live your life to the fullest, carpe diem, all that good stuff. a positive message if you think about it.

[mywerewolfdream]

I listen to this song when i'm sad. It makes me feel better, because it reminds me that there's no point in being unhappy when our lives are so short and we're dying <3

[MultiPonyKiller]

This song is so perky, but the words are so sad

[TheThreeHallows]

This Song Is Amazing.

[hockey2968]

I listen to this song like 15 times a day. It may be sad but its so catchy.

[kooporol]

@hockey2968 Me too!!! its so addicting

[TheAlrightSon]

Saddest song I've ever heard... What's going on in this guy's life that he's capable of writing this? I mean, I've never heard a happy person writing something so saddening in such a deep way quite like this...

[Ashhle101]

i haven't heard this song in years, i still can't believe i know all the words still. This song always made me cry.

[jayrbn18]

the story they are telling us is so true

[xenuzarkeee]

oh highschool days :(

[chris6292]

fuck i love it

[imfree2able]

this how im feeling like im wasting

[somcko0l]

this song makes me want to cry. the music sounds so beautiful!

[Shayleecf95]

Were all wasted. :)

[KSE62]

2:51 - 3:32 Best Part =]

[nerdypreppyemo]

@Huntyodiggidy

The spill canvas

yellowcard

Mae

For the foxes

Panic! at the disco

Something Corporate

Sum41

[Huntyodiggidy]

This is my favorite type of music, but it's hard to find good songs. Any suggestions people? :)

[AlexMatthewman]

@Huntyodiggidy Panic! at the disco, Paramore, Hey Monday, Fall out boy, Mayday Parade, All time low, Red Jumpsuite aparatus

[sp00g3892]

@AlexMatthewman now RJA anymore now that they are screaming all over again :)

[AlexMatthewman]

@sp00g3892 true but i love face down..

[sp00g3892]

@AlexMatthewman thats the one everyone likes though. the original version with screaming is better than the radio edit

[nerdypreppyemo]

I feel like people judged their self-titled album to harshly. Yes, it's not normal Cartel, but they took a risk tried something different, and it was actually pretty good. Yes it's not Chroma, but to be honest, nothing will ever be like Chroma, it was a once in a lifetime thing, and it was amazing. Although I must say, as great as their Chroma album was, Wasted is just so deep, it's really good.

[ADTR72494]

he never had a truly happy moment in his life, he didn't want the kids and he didn't want his wife. THATS SO FUCKING SAD

[klinds1691]

In love with this song!!! 

[LoveWithoutAffection]

This is one of my favorite songs by Cartel. It's really inspirational and sad. I also love the song Save Us. But not the album version, the more acoustic version, unedited. It's beautiful.

[LoveWithoutAffection]

This is one of my favorite son

[69irene]

which episode played this song?

[peaceloveandcoolness]

42 ppl were too wasted to like this video!!!

[singingxwhoaa]

<3

[blackroses1900]

One of the best songs written I love it because everyone who listens to it gets a new perspective on life and the people living it and what they're going through

[Spokenrocker]

love it 

[1eminembiggestfan1]

I love cartel!! i worked all last summer with my grandpa and there was a REALLY cute guy that i flirted with like every day and we dont talk anymore or anything but he gave me CARTEL CHROMA and since then i've been in love! <3

[vballgirl2100]

this is so beautiful

[82greenBlue]

He's 16 and he's driving too fast

Takes a turn to the left it would be his last

Nobody knows what happens if he turns to the right

Nobody in the car would have died that night

[82greenBlue]

Three boys from my alma mater high school died in a terrible car accident last week. The first verse of this song is an exact depiction of that accident. I can't listen to this song without breaking down.

[82greenBlue]

@82greenBlue Rest in peace Austin Flowers, Lane Meyer, and Matthew Speight.

[xxxAndreyaxxx]

as much as i don't like this type of music, this song has always had my heart because it makes such a good point and the singer has a beautiful voice.. i probably wont evvvvver forget this song, js.

[Yarishunnie]

I found this song by accident. And it was a perfect mistake. everytime something happens i just think i dont wanna end up 'wasted' so i try to make the best of a situation. everytime i hear this song,it reminds me of alot of things, like, the fights with my parents, my boyfriend, my friends && those crazy nightss(; and above it all, this song helps me alot. I <3 Cartel

[justTRUMPET]

I heard Cartel for the first time when my Best friend invited me to go with her and her friends to thier six flags concert. i've been hook since and this is my absolute fav song.

[BloodymercyMC]

These types of songs break my heart

[Decreation88]

I actually think it's story's of people who lost loved ones, that didn't truly have a life before dying, buh that's just me

[joedarealskater]

41 people are wasted!

[LebanonWarrior11]

Do you have a link of where I could buy this CD? I'm having trouble finding it. :/

[10142kotp]

wow i wish there was an instrumental

[Hunter902171]

Favorite song by Cartel <3

At first thought it meant wasted, drunk

But no! So beautiful (:

[TheStargateNerd]

A great song, I like it!

[Lordgale119]

I don't hear "wasted" as in stoned... I hear "wasted" as in a lost opportunity, a missed chance...it makes me so much sadder....

[SuperProStudios]

This song is awesome but can somebody tell me what the lyrics mean?

[TheGraphicZone]

@SuperProStudios The song is ultimately about growing up and the pain we all go through losing our love ones which is a daily occurance in all families and all age groups.

[vamphuntress15]

this song is way depressing....but the beat is so peppy

[randomdancing247]

Sometimes I hear "we're always dead".

[ZeldaWolf55]

@randomdancing247

Same! Maybe its supposed to sound like that too?

[ATippery432]

@randomdancing247 Can not unhear thanks a lot

[ADTR72494]

@randomdancing247 now that's it i hear -_-

[CandyKissesBabby]

41 people have never been wasted ,

[haley11704]

Doing this song as a duet at my school concert:) Balls ya.

[thecoolieos]

this song is awesome and depressing

[MrMrjung]

chuck norris couldnt even make song this could!

[neodarkend]

They should arrest they guy who made the song, for making an awesome music

[supermusic1965]

This song made me cry the second after I heard the first verse. Beautiful music is hard to find. I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[GrungeVegan93]

i hate the part that you mention about hating because i actually look to see how much time is in the video to find that spot you hate, thus, I just hate everyone who posts those comments.

[peacelovejonas1752]

how horrible is it that this is the first time ive ever heard this song?!?!?!

[OneSuperMan07]

unless you have NZT, you're basically wasted. :)

[XxMoogieexX]

<3 i absolutely adore Cartel.

[tyrannosaurusarexis]

This needs a music video, it boggles my mind how this song isn't more popular.

Probably because I love bands and it has in this...

Thank you for the post!

[ishootlawlzerbeams]

I love this song. It makes me cry everytime though.

[pwizzy17]

39 people dont know what this song means and i dont like them for that

[Ronday14]

wen they say were wasted were all wasted is likje sayinn were wasted no not just some of us no no no were ALL WASTED every simngle 1 of us

[silver2therescue1]

I don't know why people don't like this album. It just so happens that of Cartel's albums this is the one I listen to the most. GO CARTEL!!!!!!!!!!!

[AsheGurl1]

Amazing song

[AsheGurl1]

Amazing song

[MuSiClOvEr038]

Its amazing how meaningful Cartels lyrics are. They have so much meaning and can help any situation. I just cant get enough if this song

[puddingsmootie]

38 peopel are wasted

[AnnabellRAWR1]

Have had this song on repeat all day (Y) best

[Ssk8collins]

lately, i've been feeling like my body has been falling apart. i dont know why, i cant explain it. but i just feel like somethings not right inside me. and i had a dream about this song. i dont want something to happen to me for the simple fact of what it would do to the ones i truly care about. i dont want anyone to suffer because of me.

[hannahmontanasux123]

these lyrics are amazing

[lovemuffin3277]

i love this song

[DeathbySuburb]

[GlenHelenGHOfeeder]

You know what's funny, I only get on YouTube on my iPod, and I still favorite this video even tho I have it on my iPod.

[ThisisntClarice]

WASTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED<3

[landfiree]

i feel so wasted...XD!!!!

[Cupcake2032]

And he's 18 he couldn't wait to move out

his parents wonder what all the rush is about

they never bothered with his dreams only thinking of theirs

wonders why he doesn't call and why he doesn't care

this is so my situation :/

[suburbangod]

thanks to all who have commented over the years, some good points and bad points have been made and debated... but there is only one conclusion: Cartel are incredible in what they do for us in terms of a production and lyrical sense; their only aim is to reach out and please us... if you dont like it? dont listen... common sense

[silver2therescue1]

@suburbangod this comment actually made me smile:)

[MikeldigraSkyStrider]

hahaha ultimate hangover song! "ughhh... we're wastedd...we're wassst~~~ed ughh"

[musicfrexx]

best song ever <3

[ShlynTheWin]

@NiKKiBSEXCii oh, right I am wasted for trying to get gays treated fairly? Gosh, such a waste to fight for what I believe in. Thats not productive at all. I care if you call him 'homo'. That is offensive because he isn't gay, and you are using it as an insult. Which it isn't a bad thing.

[ShlynTheWin]

@NiKKiBSEXCii well then why did you call him a homo? And how can one infer I think being homo is bad when I clearly said it wasn't?

[NiKKiBSEXCii]

@ShlynTheWin who cares if i called him a homo. I dont even know why your bringing this up. This is an amazing song and your ruinning with ARGUING with me over dumbass justin bieber. Get real. & Just listen to cartel cause apprently your the one WASTED !

[ShlynTheWin]

@NiKKiBSEXCii you say 'homo' like it's a bad thing. That's just offensive and rude. I mean, he is still making money. People have different tastes. Hating doesn't change anything, it's just wasted negative energy.

[NiKKiBSEXCii]

@ShlynTheWin Um. actually i didnt mean to take homo in that way. You obv did & I dont have an issue with homo. So calm it down.

[JuiceBoxx001]

@blueeyes2010ful Drop the topic already? That was like 2 months ago.

[katt932]

the part at 0:36 reminds me of my best friend and then her father <3 I miss you both <3

[rx8579ryan]

@katt932 im soo sorrry. <3

[katt932]

@rx8579ryan yeah, it was really hard, her Dad died of brain cancer 11 days before she did in a car accident, the exact # of days their Birthdays were apart, it was kind of odd, but they get to be together <3 another good song is When I Die by New Found Glory, it was the last song my best friend listened to

[rx8579ryan]

@katt932 thats odd! and that is a good song! i cant imagine the pain their family is feeling. im soo sorry for them and you <3

[katt932]

@rx8579ryan Thanks <3 its hard but we are all a very strong group :)

[cldplywshtthmnlghts3]

@katt932 Wow. I am SO sorry.

[katt932]

@cldplywshtthmnlghts3 thanks, I like the remix better, because it shows you that A. things like this happen all the time and we keep on living happily and B. that when these things do happen you have to be strong and happy. It also reminds me of Bekah because she loved reggae :)

[vampirez103]

I have never been more determined to make my life worth living, then after hearing this song.

[1NotEvenFunny1]

Everytime I hear this song I just want to dance... and I'm a guy :D

[kuraikay]

my soul is marching on every beats of the music...juz like i'm floating on air...love u cartel!!!!

[shnickeldoodle]

This is like.. Food for my soul. . :D

[lancelot110]

[blueaura3]

[sacatrace]

Better than a big mac

[kyleheartdrum]

[theparamoregirl15]

I WANT MY MARCHING BAND TO DO THIS. NOW.

[angieallover]

I can't believe that I haven't taken the time and listened to Cartel before, they are simply amazing.

[XxMoogieexX]

i've been listening to this song straight for the past 5 months <3, Is that creepy?

[lancelot110]

@XxMoogieexX

Nope, not with Cartel.

[ShortTheOldMan]

2:38 ???

[truffles270]

@ShortTheOldMan Yea i thought the marching band thing was kinda weird to, but after like 10 times it grows on you =P

[mutemathlover]

Love this song!

[K8e92]

[XxFrAzZxX01]

[blueaura3]

Freakin loss of words

[hotmusichotparty]

AMAZING !

[HurroFriggingCross]

Loved this song back in 08, forgot about it.

Thank you Boys Like Girls, for making a song that says "He's 23 and invincible" or I'd forget about this song <3

[xoxSWEETLEXAxox]

okay. this song..i just now listened to it now.

wow. it just tells a whole story.

no words to explain what i experienced listening to this

[Muswaddique]

Just pissed my pants...wait shit, piss aint white

[fukyous]

I gave this song a thumbs down because I don't like it.

[GlenHelenGHOfeeder]

I hate the part a 4:27

[K8e92]

@GlenHelenGHOfeeder, clever. :)

[Br3tterThaNyoU]

@GlenHelenGHOfeeder Thats my favorite part, because 1 second later i can press replay :).

[TheAndrewjohncook]

@GlenHelenGHOfeeder FAIL the song is only 4:26 long u fucking faggot ur so gay Oooo look at me i say the same shit all over youtube to try to get the most thumbs up

[JenniferJG42]

@TheAndrewjohncook moron, they meant they hate that it's over. And i really don't see how spreading hate helps anything. Also, gay is not an insult. just saying.

[CJsDead]

@TheAndrewjohncook somebody need to walk down to the shops to buy some tampons

[ccsd13]

@TheAndrewjohncook grow up

[MeggyPrincess101]

I think I broke the replay button...

[ralucanicoletasava]

... the replay button has become my bitch.
