Rest
Lizette Lizette feat. Nicklas Stenemo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So hard to shape life as you want it
The greater the struggle
The further the goal
We try so hard to
So hard to make dreams our reality
The greater the pain
The sour the prize
Trust the plan why don't we ever
Trust in that why don't you
Trust the plan why don't we ever
Trust in that why don't you
I try so hard
To control the circumstance
Sold my heart
Sold myself
For one lat chance
Then it's there
And you think the deal is done
Seams to clear for a second
And then it's gone
Rest my confidence
Let life give me evidence
Rest my empty soul
Living life without control
Rest my confidence
Let life give me evidence
Rest my empty soul
Living life without control
Trust the plan why don't we ever
Trust in that why don't you
Trust the plan why don't we ever
Trust in that why don't you
I try so hard to let go
And let life stir
Try so hard to believe
And ease my fear
Then it's there
Like a weight upon my chest
How can it be so hard
To get some rest
Rest my confidence
Let life give me evidence
Rest my empty soul
Living life without control
Rest my confidence
Let life give me evidence
Rest my empty soul
Living life without control
Rest
in 2-3 Long Paragraphs:
The song "Rest" by Lizette Lizette feat. Nicklas Stenemo is a heartfelt and contemplative piece that delves into the human desire to control circumstances and shape our own lives. The song begins with Lizette speaking to someone who is trying hard to create the life they want, saying that the harder we struggle, the further our goals can seem. We try hard to make our dreams a reality, but the greater the pain we experience in pursuit of those dreams, the sweeter the prize can ultimately be. The chorus then brings up the question of why we don't trust the plan for our lives, and why we don't let go and allow life to unfold as it will.
Lizette then sings about the personal struggle to control circumstances, selling her heart and herself for what she hopes to be one last chance to achieve her goals. When the opportunity finally comes, it may seem clear for a moment, but then just as suddenly, it's gone. The song's themes shift to Lizette's desire to let go and trust in life's plan for her, to "let life stir" and ease her fear. But this is easier said than done, as she reflects on how hard it can be to get some rest when our desire for control creates such a weight on our chests.
Ultimately, "Rest" speaks to a universal human experience of wanting to control our lives and create the future we desire, but also wrestling with the realization that letting go and trusting in life can be the path to greater peace and fulfillment.
