Wasted Hours Lyrics

Cover art for Wasted Hours lyrics by Arcade Fire

I think it's pure genius how they use the same lyrics in different songs across the album, capturing the repetition of suburban life - the lines "first they built the road then they built the town, that's why we're still driving around and around" are in Month of May too.

I don't think these wasted hours are necessarily a negative thing...you only have to listen to The Suburbs (continued) to see that. It's just about enjoying yourself and making the most of what you've got, living in the moment.
