I don't really think this is about a relationship at all, but I'm probably wrong. To me it's interpreted as if someone has alot of talent, but they never try to get anywhere in life. They just keep slacking off, and never get anywhere in life. It sounds like he's singing it to a friend or another person, who might possibly want to have all his talent, and he's saying that they have way more talent than him, and that they're problem is they never try.
"But you won't see me wasting the best thing I've ever had. " Meaning, he's not wasting his talent away.
And
"You won't hear me still you endear me now!..."
The friend idolizes his talent, and he tells them they have plenty of talent too, yet they don't really listen, yet still endear him.
"Over years spent tracing wondering how you left your track.
Underwater breathing burns your lungs and breaks your back,
And you could be waiting right here for a day that won't come..."
The person just sits around, wondering how they got in such a bad position in life, depressed. When he says the Underwater breathing it reminds me of how it may take hard-work to become famous or get a really good job, but in the end, you won't be sitting around waiting for something to come to you. You got to go to it.
Well, that's just my opinion. When I hear this song, I think of that. Yeh.
And desperado, I don't know why they're unknown. ..They're really good.
