Restless
Flash the Pan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turning
Breathless
Deathless
Restless
Wrong right
Long night
Deathless
Restless
Batten down the shutters
Nailing down the window frames
Barricade the doors
There's gonna be a rain
Goodbye Mother Earth
She wasn't such a bad old girl
The storm is closing in
It's killing time again
The world'll never change
And in the East the sun is rising
Bad fools
Mad fools
Breathless
Deathless
Restless
The innocent - the guilty
The jury looking left and right
It doesn't really matter
The bottom line is pain
It's killing time again
Breathless
Deathless
Restless
The lyrics to Flash and the Pan's song "Restless" convey a sense of unease and restlessness, with repeated mentions of tossing, turning, breathlessness, and being restless. The song captures a feeling of being trapped in a cycle of wrong and right, long nights, and restless energy. The lines "Batten down the shutters, Nailing down the window frames, Barricade the doors" depict a sense of impending danger, possibly from a storm, and the need to protect oneself. There is a farewell to Mother Earth, as if acknowledging the damage that humanity has caused, but also acknowledging that change is unlikely. The lyrics hint at a storm or a change that is approaching, symbolizing the chaos and destruction that can come with it.
