Waste Lyrics

I say I'd have to agree with the person saying that this song is about an eating disorder, even if i don't know how one is. I might be going too far into this but- "I hypnotize with allibies and fingers made of lead" could mean they claim they were somewhere else and "fingers made of lead" could refer to the fact that you, of course, use your finger to make yourself gag and throw up. "I realize to my demise it's better left unsaid" normally people don't talk about their eating disorder, and leave it "unsaid" "That columns crash down endlessly and I will end up dead" soon, the pillars will fall down, and it'll eventually kill them. The chorus is a little long, but "what I don't want, I don't need" could refer to the fact that, if they don't want food, they don't need it. "What I don't like, I waste" could refer to them realizing that they're wasting food? Huge skip since I don't know how to interpret some of these lines "The tick-tick-tickng of the clock delineates your fate" is kind of obvious in referring to the ticking away of the clock, leading to the same fate some people have with eating disorders. "Ready, steady, go Finish up your plate Before you even realize it's gonna be too late" is referring to how they'll "finish" their food then go and throw it back up again, and that most of the time, they don't realize until it's about to all come crashing down that what they've done is bad. Then the throw up at the end kind of helps tie this all together
