This song was written in 2002, but was given a facelift in 2025 during a much needed re-recording. It took on a more progressive feel and the keyboards were allowed to have a more prominent role throughout the song, while the guitars were given a bit more punch.
Wasted Time deals with the feeling of never reaching your true potential, and the regret of not trying harder to live the life you know you were meant to while the years slip away into the past. It also deals with opportunities disappearing with age or change in one’s abilities.
