Cover art for Waste It On lyrics by Silversun Pickups

choosing veneers over candor...

seems like this song is about superficiality, and how these people are content with not revealing their true selves at the time.

maybe it's about two people who are getting romantically involved and kind of playing each other, and they are self-creating a false paradise. maybe it's not about that at all?
