Wasted hours, before we knew where to go, and what to do

The lyrics "wasted hours, before we knew where to go, and what to do" from Arcade Fire's song "The Suburbs" evoke a sense of aimlessness and uncertainty that many people can relate to. The idea of spending time without a clear direction or purpose is a common experience, especially in the formative years of adolescence and young adulthood.
