Don't call me wasted

[SevPuch]

Hello,
I'm wondering if "Don't call me wasted" makes any sense at all.

I'm considering a few meanings, is there one that is more correct?
1. Don't call me when you're drunk (that's the intended meaning).
2. Don't say I'm drunk.
3. Don't say there is no hope for me.

Thank you for your help!

Without any more context, it's impossible to distinguish between the first two options.

I can't say the third option is entirely impossible, but without some very specific context to set up that meaning, it's not typically a meaning we'd associate with 'wasted'.

'Wasted' could also refer to simply being physically and mentally exhausted due to exertion without the influence of drugs or alcohol. As such, it could potentially mean "Don't call me when I'm too tired to think straight."

You could clarify the first meaning by adding 'when you're' .

Fact is I'm writing a rock song for my band and it just fits melodically and rythmically. The rest of the text isn't decided yet.
Nonetheless, I can say the theme would be someone caring about a friend, having offered him help before, and not tolerating being called while that friend is drunk, venting and refusing real help otherwise.

Try: "Don't call me when you're drunk and you smell like a skunk."

Apparently, you want to use that sentence, but you're not sure what it means.

"Don't call me wasted" is possible with the meaning you want - with the right intonation.

Welcome to the forum, SevPuch.

Please note that I've added full stops (Fr. points) to your sentences in post #1.

People writing pop/rock songs don't seem to care much about what their lyrics mean or even whether they make sense or not, so if as you say 'it fits melodically and rhythmically'', go for it.

Hello Rover_KE,
Thank you for your welcome.
I didn't put full stops in the propositions as I regarded them as potential parts of lyrics in which there rarely seem to be any full stop, but it might be wrong.

As to meaning and sense, I do actually care a whole lot, hence my inquiry here.

Thank you everyone involved for appeasing my doubts, and for your dad jokes.
