Restless
Josh Homme Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I'm all restless but I don't care
You don't like me much, well me neither
You go me, my, ma, like you're some kind of God
You live like someone trippin' on the same one you lost

I'm in you, you're on me
I'm in you, you're on me
Got this sinking feeling, so if I sing it it's true
There ain't no habit that I will not defend
If it comes back well I will not resend
I'm broken, house broken
Now you on the mend

I'm in you, you're on me

Those who pay, will just pay it again
Never beginning nor a jewel at the end
Rip me from the breakage and solvents
Taking over, I'll just take what you got

I'm in you, you're on me
I'm in you, you're on me
You're the truth, I do believe
I'm in you, you're on me
Easy

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow, gonna follow, gonna follow the light to the love

Well I've gone restless, I don't care
I got fifteen bucks worth of savior faire
You wanna step in my way you won't step again
I just break it, I just bend, I resend

I'm in you, you're on me
I'm in you, you're on me
I'm in you, you're on me





Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Josh Homme's song "Restless" seem to speak of a restless and uncertain mind. In the opening lines, the singer acknowledges their restlessness but also declares that they don't care. This suggests a sense of detachment or perhaps even defeatism. They then address someone who doesn't seem to like them, but the singer admits to feeling the same way. The line "You go me, my, ma, like you're some kind of God" could be interpreted as the other person exerting control over the singer.


The chorus "I'm in you, you're on me" is repeated three times and could be interpreted in several ways. It could imply a sense of intimacy or perhaps even codependency, but it's also possible that it represents a feeling of being trapped or weighed down. The singer then talks about having a "sinking feeling," and the line "If I sing it it's true" could suggest a struggle with honesty or the fear that admitting something out loud will make it real.


Towards the end of the song, the lyrics become more optimistic. The singer proclaims that they will follow the light to love, and declares their willingness to break and bend rather than be stuck in one position. The overall message of the song seems to be a struggle with uncertainty and the desire to find a way to move forward.

You don't like me much, well me neither
You don't have a great opinion of me, but honestly, I don't feel much different


You go me, my, ma, like you're some kind of God
You control me and my life like you're some sort of supreme being


You live like someone trippin' on the same one you lost
You're living in a delusional state that you lost a long time ago


Got this sinking feeling, so if I sing it it's true
I have this deep sense of despair, and if I express it through song, it becomes undeniable


There ain't no habit that I will not defend
I'm fiercely loyal to every habit I have, no matter how unhealthy


If it comes back well I will not resend
Even if something bad happens again, I won't take it back


I'm broken, house broken, now you on the mend
I'm damaged and unable to function properly, but you're starting to recover from your own problems


Those who pay, will just pay it again
People who owe money will continue to owe money and pay it off repeatedly


Never beginning nor a jewel at the end
There's no real start or end to anything, and there's no real value in it either


Rip me from the breakage and solvents
Get me out of this difficult and toxic situation


Taking over, I'll just take what you got
I'm going to dominate and take everything you've got


You're the truth, I do believe
You're the only one I believe and trust


Easy
It's all going to be okay


Gonna follow the light to the love
I'm going to pursue happiness and love


Well I've gone restless, I don't care
I've become agitated and uneasy, but I don't care about it


I got fifteen bucks worth of savior faire
I have a meager amount of confidence and charm


You wanna step in my way you won't step again
If you try to stand in my way, you'll regret it and won't do it again


I just break it, I just bend, I resend
I can handle any obstacle because I have the ability to both break it and overcome it

Well, I'm all restless but I don't care
You don't like me much, well, me neither
You go read my mind like some kind of God
You live, let's have you trippin' on the same one you lost

And you
Are on me
I'm in you
You're on me

Got this sinking feeling I sank with the tulip
There ain't no habit that I would not defend
Let's come back, well, I don't resend
And I'm broken house, break you, you on the mend

When you
You're on me

Those who pay will just pay it again
It's ever beginning, that's a duel to the end
Let's rip me from the breakage and solvents
Taking over, I'll just take what you got

When you
You're on me
I'm in you
You're on me
You're the truth
I do believe
I'm in you
You're on me
Easy

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow, gonna follow
Gonna follow the light to the love

Well, I've gone restless, well, I don't care
I got fifteen bucks of savoir faire
You wanna step in my way to step it again
I never break it, I just bend it and I resend

And you
You're on me
I'm in you
You're on me

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow, follow
The light to the love

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow, gonna follow
Follow the light to the love

And you
