| The Vanity Project – These Wasted Words Lyrics

I think this is a song about AIDS. The guy contracted AIDS somehow (blood transfusion during 1980's? This would work with the no one to blame part, as many people were accidently infected in this way). He's afraid she'll leave him because of it. Also, its "are we afraid that there's more to life than love?" I think the wasted words are prayers. |

Its about frustration. He's into a girl who doesn't care about him-maybe too caught up in herself as said before-but he is willing to wait for her to mentally grow up. Still, he's pissed about the situation and cynically thinks that if he becomes just like her she'd love him. He also knows she's only a source of pain: clovers are sometimes considered weeds, shadows to light, and he even thinks about suicide as a way out.
Or I'm completely wrong. Either way I like the sound of the song |

definetely about AIDS. he has a friend who starts to sleep around too much (viral infection caused by affection) maybe needle drugs also? he never intervenes although secretly resents this behavior. theres parts that show that the two were really close--its 'i had myself fooled into needing you' not meeting. he is torn between anger and grief and shock, he is numb at the time of death and isn't sure how he'll feel later. |
