| 10 Years – Wasteland Lyrics

I think pebbles28 is on to something. Saw 10 Years live tonight and before they did Wasteland he sang "Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose." A quote directly from John Prine's Sam Stone. Therefore, perhaps the song is about that song, which is laid out pretty straightforward. Man comes home from war, turns to drugs, dies of an overdose. So both of the ideas that this is about a drug addict and a war (Iraq or wherever) could be correct. |

The way I hear this song, the singer is depressed over a failed relationship and ends up staying home all the time feeling sorry for himself hoping that she'll call him back. By doing so he alienates all his friends he had. He knows he should do something to change but is unable to do so. Eventually he takes his own life. Hard to express how I feel about this song in words, but it is a powerful song like many of Caroline's Spine's songs and a reason why this band is so great yet underrated. |

Like 'sprinkles' and 'wiredmonkiekiller' said, the song is not about the musician doing drugs himself, but instead a metaphor for what ever it is that keeps people going. For him it is the music, not getting drunk/high. |
