Waste and Batter up to me tell the same story but from two separate narrators. "Waste" in the POV of a friend who has a friend struggling through addiction and he is trying his best to talk him through it.
Unfortunately the last song on the Album is "Batter Up", coming from the POV of the addict. By the end of the album, the addict has completely given into his addiction and all hope of breaking out of it.
Although the Narrator in 'Waste' insists the addict is "not alone", the Narrator knows "its never going to stop" and might as well be "batters up" for the next hit.
