10 YEARS

- Wasteland Lyrics

Change my attempt good intentions

Crouched over, you were not there living in fear
But signs were not really that scarce, obvious tears
But I will not hide you through this, I want you to help
And please see the bleeding heart perched on my shirt

Die, withdraw, hide in cold sweat, quivering lips
Ignore, remorse, naming a kid, living Wasteland
This time you've tried all that you can it's turning you red

Change my attempt good intentions
Should I? Could I?
Here we are with your obsession
Should I? Could I?

Crowned hopeless, the article read "Living Wasteland"
This time you've tried, all that you can, it's turning you red
But I will not hide you through this, I want you to help me

Change my attempt good intentions
Should I? Could I?
Here we are with your obsession
Should I? Could I?

Heave the silver, hollow the sliver, piercing through another victim
Turn and tremble, be judgmental, ignorant to all the symbols
Blind the face with beauty paste, eventually you'll one day know

Change my attempt good intentions
Limbs tied, skin tight
Self-inflicted his perdition
Should I? Could I?

Change my attempt good intentions
Should I? Could I?
Should I? Could I?

I think the meaning is about child molestation or abuse. Crouching in pain, hiding, here we are (him and the molester) should he? Could he? I'm nit going to hide you anymore. Obvious tears, (anal tearing). Signs not being scarce. Isn't that what happens? Can't figure out the silver tho. Just my opin

the meaning of this song is to be taken however you mean it to be. It makes it easier to relate to because your free to interpret it however you want. I think it means we should help the hopeless

this song is about war and how we are oblivious to the suffering of others. Hallow silver meaning bullets and war. The article being how short our attention spans are when it comes to world events.

I agree that this song is about addiction. I believe it refers to the hopelessness, withdrawl, and not knowing what to do unless u end up destroying what you have struggled to rebuild.I LOVE this song

Its about drug use. I think written in honor of his actor cousin Brad Renfro who died of an overdose.
