Restless
Heroic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the last so I tell you my friend
It's all unwritten but we came to this end
It's sad, it's true, but there's nothing you can do
But accept that your world is blue

Moments in life, minutes you evade, fade
Will always be mistakes, nothing right you made
You gave head to the quarter in the hall of shame
That'd be the place where you reach your fame

With a human as a leader on the top of the chain
They want to keep you as a dreamer and cause you the pain
And protect the veins, don't let them rain
There is no way back once you are going insane

You have to break safe walls to build up new
And be proud if you even get the right to be you
Cut yourself loose there's a heaven on the other side
With a world so wide where you can forever ride

Restless lonely one
Commence the holy run
The center piece you want
Is nothing but the sun

Broke and penny-less
You feel unadequate
There's not much you can do
But accept your world is blue

Do what it takes to reach the top of the place
And put a flag on the mountain be the king of your space
Come on and use your strength, and spit your words
For everything that is evil, there is always something worse

For the first, you do not deserve, to be observed
As I got them cursed as you can never reverse
What you did? What you've done? What controls what you do?
Turn your back on them and they'll be up searching for you

For those who never got to feel (something something)
And for those who lost the path (something something something)

Restless lonely one
Commence the holy run
The center piece you want
Is nothing but the sun

Broke and penny-less
You feel unadequate




There's not much you can do
But accept your world is blue

Overall Meaning

The song "Restless" by Heroic is about coming to terms with the end of something and accepting that some mistakes cannot be undone. The opening lines, "It's all unwritten but we came to this end / It's sad, it's true, but there's nothing you can do / But accept that your world is blue" suggests that whatever has happened, it is a final conclusion that is beyond anyone's control. The lyrics go on to describe the feeling of being trapped by your own mistakes, as seen in the line "Moments in life, minutes you evade, fade / Will always be mistakes, nothing right you made."


However, the song encourages the listener to break free from the shackles of their own negative thoughts and take control of their lives. The line "Cut yourself loose there's a heaven on the other side / With a world so wide where you can forever ride​" suggests that by facing their fears and breaking free of their own limitations, they can create a new and better reality for themselves.


The song also touches on the idea of standing up to those in power and breaking free from the constraints that they place on individuals. The line "With a human as a leader on the top of the chain / They want to keep you as a dreamer and cause you the pain" highlights the struggle against those who hold the power and those who try to keep individuals down in their own personal struggles.


Overall, "Restless" by Heroic is a powerful and inspiring song that encourages the listener to break free from their own limitations and take control of their own lives.
