Restless
Elle Madison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's so hard to be what you want from me
I pick a berry just to see if your very
Intelligent, you come to me and pull me your way
The wolves are howling and the moon ain't even thirsty
Your fickle weather and your pleasure
Have you tongue tied
Forever treasure and you say you'll always be fine
All the falling leaves have me feeling real free
Oh and stars I'm catching
Oh, I'm feeling restless
And I can't break a feeling that you have for me
Do you want from me?
Or am I just conjecting
You're persuading me to feel what I've succumb to
Sentimental it's preventable
But the feeling that you have for me I won't let go
I'm questioning if you have me feeling lucid
'Cause I love Lucy even though she was erratic
Intervene if you see that I'm filthy
But if it's filth then the truth is you want it dirty
A little dirt won't hurt you'll rid if you're not healthy

They feel the pressure to be what this person wants them to be, but they also question the intelligence and integrity of this person. The mention of wolves howling and the moon not being thirsty symbolize a chaotic and unpredictable environment, where the person's ever-changing moods and desires make it hard for the singer to keep up. Despite this, the singer still acknowledges the allure and appeal of this person, as they are tempted to follow them.
In the chorus, the singer talks about feeling restless and unable to escape the feeling that this person has something for them. They question if this person truly wants something genuine from them or if it's just speculation on their part. It seems like this person is persuading the singer to feel a certain way, even though it may not be genuine or sustainable. The singer mentions how this sentimentality can be prevented or avoided, but they consciously choose not to let go of the intense feelings they have for this person.
In the second verse, the singer continues to question their own feelings and motives. They wonder if their emotions towards this person are genuine or if they are simply influenced by external factors. The mention of "Lucy" refers to the famous character from the TV show "I Love Lucy," who was known for her unpredictable and erratic behavior. The singer is aware of this potential instability in their feelings, but they are still willing to embrace it. They acknowledge that others may find their attraction to this person as "filthy," but they believe that a little bit of dirt or risk can be exciting.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of struggle and uncertainty in a relationship. The singer is torn between the intense emotions they feel for this person and the unpredictability and potential negative consequences that come with it. They are willing to take risks and explore these feelings, even if it means feeling restless and questioning themselves along the way.

There is chaos and unrest around us even when it is not necessary
Your fickle weather and your pleasure
Your ever-changing moods and desires
Have you tongue tied
They make it difficult for you to express your true feelings
Forever treasure and you say you'll always be fine
You claim that our love is valuable and that you will always be okay
But the wicked measure, can't be predicted ever
However, your unpredictable behavior makes it impossible to foresee the future
All the falling leaves have me feeling real free
The changing seasons and nature's cycles make me feel liberated
Oh and stars I'm catching
I am trying to grasp onto fleeting moments of happiness
Oh, I'm feeling restless
I am experiencing a sense of discontent and unease
And I can't break a feeling that you have for me
I cannot escape the emotions you have towards me, no matter how hard I try
Do you want from me?
What do you truly desire from me?
Or am I just conjecting

'Cause I love Lucy even though she was erratic
Because I love someone, like Lucy, despite their unpredictable behavior
Intervene if you see that I'm filthy
Please step in and help me if you notice that I am in a morally compromised state
But if it's filth then the truth is you want it dirty
But if it involves something immoral or dirty, then you actually desire it
A little dirt won't hurt you'll rid if you're not healthy
Engaging in some sinful or unconventional behavior won't harm you as long as you're mentally and physically well
