Wasting Time Lyrics
You found me here
Waiting for your chance
You would reach inside
And take of me
You want your lies
To smother me again
But now you can't
Don't even try
You're wasting time
Come back I'll beat you down
Turn around
I'm fighting my way through you
Push you away
I'll never break
Come back I'll beat you down
It's over now
I’m turning my back on you
I turn around
There you are
A blink and a flash
Back to you again
You pushed me down
Tried to steal it all
This time I'm pushing back
Go ahead, try and stop me
Go ahead, try and stop me
Go ahead, try and stop me
Go ahead and try
Waiting for your chance
You would reach inside
And take of me
You want your lies
To smother me again
But now you can't
You're wasting time
Come back I'll beat you down
Turn around
I'm fighting my way through you
Push you away
I'll never break
Come back I'll beat you down
It's over now
I’m turning my back on you
There you are
A blink and a flash
Back to you again
You pushed me down
Tried to steal it all
This time I'm pushing back
Go ahead, try and stop me
Go ahead, try and stop me
Go ahead and try

While most of the songs on this CD are talking to God, I think this one is talking to Satan. "waiting for your chance...you want your lies to smother me again..." The narrator is telling Satan that even though he's beaten him/her in the past, he's wasting his time with tempting him/her, because God is fighting for him/her now.
I think this could be talking about a couple things, Satan, addiction, doubt. I think the lyrics are written well enough that you can take it and use it to whatever circumstance you may be currently facing. This was the first RED song I heard so it's got a special place for me, but it's not my very favorite song. I love the message it sends though. Standing up to your personal demons, finding a way to not let them pull you down anymore. powerful stuff
yeah i agree it could be about any problem you used to have thats trying to get a grip on you again anything satan could throw at you really

... heh, pretty much, yeah. What cycle.of.ashes said. Probably my least favorite on the cd. I'm not saying its bad, just that it sounds rushed... "a blink and-a flash" "I'm fighting-my-way through you". The lyrics are pretty good, just an odd timing.
I agree with everyone here. It could defiantly be said to Satan, which was my first impression. But it can apply to a number of other things. One of my most favorite songs.
great lyrics.. (and I agree with the comments above)
gives a sense of power/confidence
