Wasted Years Lyrics
There's a game life plays
makes you think you're everything they ever said you were
Like to take some time
Clear away everything I've planned
[Chorus]
Was it life I've betrayed
for the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
it's not easy to win
did I drink too much
could I dissapear
and there's nothing that's left but wasted tears
There's nothing left but wasted years
If I could change my life
Be a simple kind of man try to do the best I can
if I could take the sides
I'd dreail every path I could
I'm about to die
won't you clear away from me give me strength to fly away
[Chorus]
There's nothing left but wasted years [x3]
[Chorus x3]
makes you think you're everything they ever said you were
Like to take some time
Clear away everything I've planned
Was it life I've betrayed
for the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
it's not easy to win
did I drink too much
could I dissapear
and there's nothing that's left but wasted tears
Be a simple kind of man try to do the best I can
if I could take the sides
I'd dreail every path I could
I'm about to die
won't you clear away from me give me strength to fly away

"this song is basically about how I let little things take away the things I needed in life" -Scooter
This song, to me, is about feeling that it's your own fault that you feel the way you feel. shrug That's my personal interpretation.
Cold is . . . such a great band and this album is as good as their first and second one combined. They got better with each album and they deserve much respect for that.
This song is very solemn. It makes me think about how I am wasting the years of my youth doing nothing worthwhile.
This song to me is about someone who is lost but at an older age. Some1 whoes 40 and sees that they've gone no where with life. That they just partied, played the game of life, and now they are all alone in a mid life crisis situation. It seems that this person feels like all thats left is to die because all of lifes fun has passed and they wish that they could have gone back to do the simple things in life. Now theres nothing left but wasted years
Ha! Finally some Cold lyrics to comment on (at least for the new album). I'll start off by saying I highly recommend this album -- it will blow you away with emotion! I thought 13 WTB couldn't be topped but this one does! Or comes real close!
This song is my favorite one on this album right now. It is beautiful. It seems that this person has wasted his life doing the things he didn't really want to do. Somehow he has taken the wrong path and now feels stuck in the life he is in. So he is trying to get back to basics and I think it hints at him living his life for someone else instead of his own.
"Won't you clear away from me give me strength to fly away"
Omg Wasted Years! "there is a game life plays" omg!@! how fucking true! Cold did an amazing job reaching out to their fans with this song!

this is cold's new single. or atleast i think. it was peformed on jay leno. anyways, i think this is about when a relationship has had years put in and results in nothing. like friendships and stuff like that.
my fav part is when he says "I'm about to die won't you clear away from me give me strength to fly away "
this song is really goood and the album is awesome.
One of the few bands that actually gets better with each album...they're just fuckin' amazing. And this song is so emotional and beautiful.
This song is all about losing everything that was ever important and looking for the reason why. This song reminds me of a friend that screwed his life up really bad, I keep looking for the reason why.
i really do love this song. cold is one of my favorite bands. to me, its about doing your best to fix your past mistakes.
