This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
You walk into this place.
The light shines on you're face, and I wish you were mine.
There used to be a time....
You aim a smile at me.
I can't even speak.
I'm too scared to try, just a waste of time.
Just a waste of time.
Tina you just act like you don't know the way I feel.
You call me back each night to reinsure my dream is real.
How long do you plan to keep on stringing me along?
I'm realizing I was wrong and you're just a waste of time.
Just a waste of time.
Look at what you've done to me! Tina!
All my friends are warning me, but I'm just way to blind to see.
I've just got to disagree.
I don't claim to know the way, but I'll snap out of it some day.
I don't claim to know the way.
I don't have the time to sit and wait, to sit and wait.
I don't have the time.
I'm losing my sanity!
Look at what you've done to me! Tina!
All my friends are warning me, but I'm just way to blind to see.
I've just got to disagree.
I don't claim to know the way, but I'll snap out of it some day.
I don't claim to know the way.

Just a waste of time.
Tina you just act like you don't know the way I feel.
You call me back each night to reinsure my dream is real.
How long do you plan to keep on stringing me along?
I'm realizing I was wrong and you're just a waste of time.
