Wasted - Cartel (lyrics)

Wasted - Cartel (lyrics)


It's 2:45 the baby takes his 1st breath
the mother never knew he only had a few left
and the father gets a call in the middle of the night
his breath gets short and his chest gets tight

But 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
the body in the car woulda died that night

But he's 32 and invincible
the cancer he had it was visceral
he never saw it coming
but he had his own life
sick in the morning and he died in the night

We're all so
We're on the line
We're all
We're all [oh]
We're wasted, no no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no no
We're all wasted

He's 7 years old, got his bat in his hand
he's looking for his father and he doesn't understand
'coz dad's too busy got some deals on the way
his son sits alone as the children play

And he's 18 he couldn't wait to move out
his parents wonder what the rush is about
they never bothered with his dreams only thinking of theirs
wonder's why he doesn't call and why he doesn't care

But he's 32 and invincible with
everything he is based on principle
he never had a truly happy moment in his life
he didn't want the kids and he didn't want his wife

We're wasted, no no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're all wasted
We're all wasted, no no
We're all wasted

23 now, got his life in his hands
he's looking all around and he doesn't understand
'coz life's too busy, things get in the way
we all feel alone every single day

and im 18 couldn't wait to move out
it's been five years and now im starting to doubt
whether all my dreams are just aimless stares
looking out to someplace that isnt there

when i'm 32 well i'll be miserable when
everything around based on principle
well, i have a clue,ooo wouldn't it be nice
to never be alone in this wasted life

We're wasted, no no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no
We're all wasted

Epic drumline. The Tenor part at the end really ties it all together

[lovelylittlegirl7776]

i just realized like the first and second verses are kind of a contrast , the first verse talks about lives that are ending and the parents and the families wish beyond anything that they still had their son and father/husband and then the second verse is like talking about life taken for granted, and the parents don't have time for their son and the guy doesn't want his family. i don't know, i just have an epiphany and had to share it with you guys aha.

story of my life.

[Shchphinkter11]

Sirens whizzed by my house as I listen to this for the fourth day in a row. Makes it twice as sad (if thats possible).

[TheGraciesophia]

1 line- baby dies

2 line- guy gets scared and has a heart attack.

3 line- Teen dies in car crash.

4- 32 year old has cancer

5- Young boy has a dad who is to busy to care.

6- 18 year old moves out. (Not the same boy as the last)

7- 32 year old is not happy

8- (18 year old) Doubting himself and is scared he will turn out to be the guy from line 7.

[Shchphinkter11]

WHOA, WAIT. So were the two different lives the song described the two who died in a car accident?

[Grave264]

@Paytie100 your missing the meaning its not really saying the ppls lives are wasted well in the first verse they are because they died too young so it was a waste...but in the second verse its more in terms of missed opportunities the dad ignoring quality time with his kid the parents ignoring the teens dreams and the teen forgetting his family...and the married man not wanting his family and then the 3rd verse shows how the ppl from the 2nd verse realize their mistakes

[Paytie100]

my cousin made me watch this and i didn't like how it said we r wasted and alone....My opinion so don't get mad

[Paytie100]

why does everyone dislike me... I have my own opinion okay!

[Paytie100]

@SethCustomComps they say were ALL wasted

But not all of us feel like that

some of us are very happy with our lives

so i dont know WHY the lyrics say we r wasted

its not a good thing to say because not everyone is having

a life like that so we are NOT WASTED we were sent to earth for a REASON

not for NO REASON

[cutiemae444]

Love this song.
