i think this song is about two people who are making all the wrong decisions. And they are trapped by their mistakes. they can't move forward. And they keep falling into the same traps (lasso). hence the line 'where would you go tied up to a lasso'. The only people they have to turn to is each other because they're in the same boat, so to speak. 'forever is a long long time when you've lost your way'. In my opinion, the song just simply means that when your life goes off track, how do you turn things around? where would you go? 'your so-called life...it is such a waste' the song is pretty sad, actually. but i love it.
I agree completely with loislane. I just think of it as a song about two people who are all wrong for each other and in some cases, self-destructive since neither of them can let go of the other one.
I was in a situation like this with a guy and yeah...you can't go anywhere because a lasso is essentially a circle so you just keep going around and not getting anywhere.

It's like you realize that you need to get out but how do you?
This song makes me feel so sad that I spent nearly two years of my life trapped in a 'lasso' with one guy, and now I think of him and it just makes me really sad.
This song really is beautiful, but the deeper meaning is quite sad.
