==Background==
== Background ==
On November 4, 2013, the WatZatSong user morback uploaded a mysterious song, recorded from Minsk radio in 2010.
On November 5th, 2013, WatZatSong user morback posted the song for the first time without providing any additional information, but it was removed for unknown reasons.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141002015733/http://www.watzatsong.com:80/en/name-that-tune/391658.html</ref> On October 11th, 2014, morback added the entire song to the thread.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150129053646/http://www.watzatsong.com:80/en/name-that-tune/391658.html</ref>


The WatZatSong post only began receiving considerable attention in early 2023, when the first non-deleted comments were posted. Due to the heavy accent of the singer, nearly every single word of the song was highly debated upon. This made the search especially difficult.
On December 15th, 2014, user ID-Cancion reuploaded the song to YouTube,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm5JWTBQ2YQ</ref> and morback reuploaded the song to WatZatSong on January 9th, 2018, claiming that he recorded it from Belarusian radio station Indy Rock Radio in 2010.<ref>https://www.watzatsong.com/en/found/The+Burns-Avail-537199.html?page=3</ref>


The OP of Waste My Time, morback, claimed the song abruptly stopped playing on radio in 2012, likely coordinated with a law promoting Belarusian music on radio stations. This means the song was likely not from Belarus. The song was widely thought to have originated from an Eastern European country, but Japan had also been theorized.
The song gained popularity in the lostwave community in June 2023, when it was first posted to r/lostwave by user Revolutionary_War443.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Lostwave/comments/14dkh1i/unknown_song_waste_my_time_reupload/</ref> Due to the singer's heavy accent, nearly every word of the song was heavily debated, which made the search more difficult.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WasteMyTime/comments/1b3f2o8/why_waste_my_time_may_be_from_another_country/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WasteMyTime/comments/1cs035o/is_it_actually_english/</ref>
 
Further correspondence with morback revealed that the song was most likely created by a non-Belarusian band, as it stopped airing on the radio in 2012, and Belarus had a law requiring 75% of music broadcast each day to be Belarusian.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WasteMyTime/comments/1ccy0r8/progress_is_slowly_being_made/</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Belarus</ref>

|'''(Verse 1)'''
Lonely smile, drink a while


The lyrics most commonly agreed upon are:
(Clothes hide?) how to picture us
<blockquote>
Loathing smile(s), drink while


Closed-eyed tryna picture us:
We're falling down, (head in?) (holding?) hands


Running down, hand-in-hand
And it's too hard to live it up


It’s too hard to live it up
A lot of words are useless now


Loving boy, it’s useless now
Oh, should I ignore the peace


I don’t see why you’re at peace
Can't see the sign, wake up


Can’t see sign? Wake up
I hit the mirror from the sky


Aim the mirror for the sky
Busted roads and empty streets


Crossing roads and empty streets
(It hide where your road leads?)


In hyperreallis
It leads somewhere, hidden deep


Hidden somewhere, hidden deep
You will never find it


You can never find it
'''(Chorus)'''


Today, you’ll feel
Today, you'll (sear?)


How bad can it build
Heartbreak in your dreams


I’m so angered
I'm so unkind


Your heart is blind
Your (horrified?) heart is blind  


I waste my time
I waste my time


Until it’s alright
I'm sure it's alright


You tried to find
You'll try to find


Some world you’re mine
Some (words?) in your mind


A lovely time, it’s alright
'''(Verse 2)'''


Write a letter, it’s touched you
A lot of the time, it’s alright


Great it feels, not too hard
Write a letter, (it's for sure?)


But if I leave, forget all this?
(Greater dreams?) not too hard


Show me Eden, cover up
But if I need (to come?) to this


But in the dark, you’ll be undressed
So late leaving covered up
 
Until the dark, I'll be undressed


There is nothing truly there
There is nothing truly there


The life goes on
(The fight goes wild?)
 
'''(Chorus)'''


Today, you’ll feel
Today, you'll (sear?)


How bad can it build
Heartbreak in your dreams


I’m so angered
I'm so unkind


Your heart is blind
Your (horrified?) heart is blind  


I waste my time
I waste my time


Until it’s alright
I'm sure it's alright
 
You'll try to find


You tried to find
Some (words?) in your mind


Some world you’re mine
'''(Chorus 2)'''


Today, you’ll feel
Today, you'll (sear?)


How bad can it build
Heartbreak in your dreams


I’m so angered
I'm so unkind


Your heart is blind
Your (horrified?) heart is blind  


I waste my time
I waste my time


Until it’s alright
I'm sure it's alright
 
You'll try to find
 
Some sense in my eyes
