Restless
Immigrant's Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or fall into the flame
Looks like I'm the one to blame this time
Don't you ever get tired
Of only ever being angry
Oh so angry
I'm getting pretty restless myself
Can't keep down these anxious thoughts
I don't go out late anymore you can't sleep when I'm gone
I'll let you rest so you can dream you were happier here
Happier here, ooh
I don't go out late anymore you can't sleep when I'm gone
I'll let you rest so you can dream you were happier here
Happier here, ooh
How did I get here
Never felt like this before
I have found the bottom
But I can't find the end
I'm done dealing different drugs
Trading different highs to stay away from my mind
I'd sell my soul to make you feel
So careless
So heartless
Stay the Hell away from me
I don't go out late anymore you can't sleep when I'm gone
I'll let you rest so you can dream you were happier here
Happier here, ooh
I don't go out late anymore you can't sleep when I'm gone
I'll let you rest so you can dream you were happier here
Happier here

Feed into the well
Surrender and immerse myself in my troubles
Or fall into the flame
Or succumb to the destructive path
Looks like I'm the one to blame this time
Taking responsibility for the current situation
Don't you ever get tired
Don't you ever grow weary
Of only ever being angry
Of constantly feeling anger
Oh so angry
Such a deep anger within
I'm getting pretty restless myself
I'm becoming increasingly unsettled
Can't keep down these anxious thoughts
Unable to suppress these worried thoughts
Let me chase you again
Allow me to pursue you once more
I don't go out late anymore you can't sleep when I'm gone
I no longer stay out late because you can't sleep without me
I'll let you rest so you can dream you were happier here
I'll give you peace so you can imagine a time when you were happier in this place
Happier here, ooh
A longing for a happier existence in this place
How did I get here
How did I find myself in this situation
Never felt like this before
Never experienced such emotions in the past
I have found the bottom
I have reached the lowest point
But I can't find the end
But I can't find the way out
I'm done dealing different drugs
I'm finished with trying various substances
Trading different highs to stay away from my mind
Exchanging various sensations to avoid confronting my thoughts
I'd sell my soul to make you feel
I would do anything to make you feel something
So careless
Without worry or concern
So heartless
Without compassion or empathy
Stay the Hell away from me
Keep a significant distance from me
I don't go out late anymore you can't sleep when I'm gone
I no longer stay out late because you can't sleep without me
I'll let you rest so you can dream you were happier here
I'll give you peace so you can imagine a time when you were happier in this place
Happier here, ooh
A longing for a happier existence in this place
