Wasted (feat. Lil Uzi Vert)

Juice WRLD's 'Wasted' featuring Lil Uzi Vert is a poignant reflection on substance abuse and its impact on relationships and self-perception. The song's chorus repeats the word 'wasted' to emphasize the state of being under the influence of drugs, but also to signify the feeling of wasting one's life and potential. The term 'GTA love' refers to the video game Grand Theft Auto, known for its chaotic and reckless lifestyle, drawing a parallel to the destructive nature of the relationships and lifestyle depicted in the song.

The verses delve deeper into the toxic dynamics between the protagonist and his love interest, who is metaphorically described as 'Medusa with a little Pocahontas,' suggesting a blend of danger and allure. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship marred by drug use, where the protagonist feels like a 'doctor' running out of patience, hinting at the caregiving role often assumed in such relationships. The mention of 'trying to get closer to Satan' and 'talking to him in the matrix' could be interpreted as the woman's struggle with her inner demons and the altered reality drugs provide.

Lil Uzi Vert's verse adds another layer to the song, discussing themes of fame, materialism, and the pursuit of pleasure. The reference to 'Avatar' and 'Appas' alludes to the animated series 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' suggesting a sense of escape and the desire to ride away from one's problems. Throughout the song, both artists grapple with the allure and consequences of a hedonistic lifestyle, ultimately acknowledging the emptiness and loss that comes with it.
