lirik lagu waseem - wasted: the lyrical evolution of rubicini
for canadian artist rubicini, music has never just been sound. it’s been survival, transformation, and a mirror to the most vulnerable parts of his life. with the release of his latest single “wasted” he delivers not only a raw reflection on toxic love but also a clear milestone in the sonic shift that is redefining his career
“wasted” is more than a breakup song. it’s about the kind of relationships, romantic or otherwise, that wrap themselves around your life until you can barely breathe. for rubicini, the metaphor was literal. the grip these connections had on him was like hands on his throat, slowly draining his life force. the track’s edge and frustration mirror the turmoil of those moments, but beneath the anger is something far more powerful — a realization that those people and thoughts no longer hold control over him. “it’s a reminder to myself,” he says, “about why avoiding toxicity is what set me free. by sharing it with the world, i hope it can do the same for others.”
musically, “wasted” marks the first solo release to fully embrace rubicini’s new hybrid sound, a fusion of alternative, punk, hip hop, and r&b. it’s a shift that has been years in the making, rooted in his childhood experiences playing drums in rock and metal bands with his father and friends, and fueled by a lifelong love for guitar~driven energy. “i grew up on rock, metal, indie, it just feels right,” rubicini says. “now, working with dustin belt, we’re taking it to a whole new level.”
the turning point came after a near~death health scare, a heart surgery that could have easily ended his career before it began. instead, it gave him a new sense of urgency. “i almost died,” he admits. “i spent over six months in and out of the hospital, but i never stopped making music. it made me fearless. i’m more experimental than ever and not afraid to be my most authentic self.”
that authenticity is the beating heart of his new direction. his upcoming releases promise everything from emotional, vulnerable ballads to high~energy, guitar~driven anthems. influences range from benny mayne, jutes, and post malone to icons like ozzy osbourne, led zeppelin, green day, and linkin park. it’s a sound that feels both nostalgic and brand new, a deliberate blending of the genres that shaped his youth with the modern edge he’s honed through years in the industry
this is also the same artist who has independently funded and executed multiple mini~tours across north america, playing historic venues in los angeles, montreal, chicago, and toronto without the backing of agents or promoters. it’s the same artist who channels his grandfather’s legacy, a hall of fame international boxer, every time he takes the stage. and it’s the same artist whose fans now tell him after shows that “wasted” has been stuck in their heads for weeks
for rubicini, the message in both the song and his career is simple. change is possible, the past doesn’t define you, and leading with love will always win
“performing live has always been my favorite place to be,” he says. “now it’s even more important. i put all my pain and highlights into my music, and people connect with it. it’s therapeutic, for me and for them.”
with “wasted” setting the tone for this next chapter, rubicini isn’t just evolving. he’s making the music he was always meant to make
