I’ve been listening to this song over and over again. I dunno why I still love this song!! It’s a great song, from the moment I listened to it for the first time, I knew it’s a great song. Cold is an amazing band!! I just love all the songs in that album: Year of The Spider. Love it!!!
Ok, you can tell by reading the title of the song, it’s all about regrets and dissapointment. It’s about someone who is dying and has no chance to do better things for the world and the life itself. The person could only hope that someone (I mean, God of course) would give him/her strength or maybe clear his/her sins. The second verse shows clearly how regret he/she feels.
If you’re still struggling with your life, this song really is for you! Life is like a game, you won’t know what future brings you. It may change your plans 180 degrees! It says in the lyrics: “Clear away everything I planned”. Life can be cruel to you, it’ll control you and drive you wherever it wants. But if you are strong enough, you can control the life itself. Do the best you can and don’t let regret be the one who haunted your mind. Always pray to God and don’t be afraid of the challenges He gives. It’s not hard to fail, it’s not easy to win.
Wasted Years by Cold
There’s a game life plays
Makes you think you’re everything they ever said you were
Like to take some time
Clear away everything I planned
[Chorus]
Was it life I betrayed for the shape that I’m in
It’s not hard to fail, it’s not easy to win
Did I drink too much? Could I disappear?
And there’s nothing that’s left but wasted years
There’s nothing left but wasted years
If I could change my life
Be a simple kind of man try to do the best I can
If I could see the signs
I’d derail every path I could
Now I’m about to die
Won’t you clear away from me
Give me strength to fly away
