The intimacy Wasting Away provides is everything I’ve already mentioned and then some. Baring her soul to the world through her heart-on-sleeve writing she expresses how she’s focusing on herself before focusing on others, leading her being unable to be apart of a relationship.

“Wasting Away is about wanting to start a relationship but recognizing there is a lot of self-work to handle beforehand. The song is hopeful in a sense but recognizes what the reality is right now. On one side of the relationship, the partner is ready to move forward while the other recognizes needing to address their own issues beforehand.”
