Waste Of Time (feat. bathsalt bryce)

Lil Peep's 'Waste Of Time (feat. bathsalt bryce)' delves into the artist's internal conflict and the pressures of his lifestyle. The song opens with vivid imagery of a blunt in one hand and a cup in the other, setting the tone for a narrative steeped in substance use and evasion from authorities. This duality of indulgence and paranoia reflects a life lived on the edge, where time seems to slip away unnoticed. The recurring question, 'Where did the time go?' underscores a sense of lost direction and the fleeting nature of existence.

The lyrics reveal a deeper struggle with mental health and the search for meaning. Lil Peep questions his own identity and the impact of his fame, referring to himself as 'lime-lite peep.' This self-awareness is juxtaposed with a sense of futility in finding genuine love, as he admits to making others cry and feel despair. The chorus, 'Can't nobody waste time like me,' becomes a poignant reflection on his perceived inefficacy and the cyclical nature of his actions.

Despite the bleakness, there is a glimmer of hope and determination in the lines about his mother. Lil Peep expresses a desire to ensure his mother's well-being, which keeps him motivated to 'grind' and make it out of his current circumstances. This sense of duty provides a counterbalance to his otherwise nihilistic outlook. The song closes with a plea for peace and solitude, encapsulating the artist's ongoing battle with his inner demons and the external pressures of his environment.
