No Rest For The Wicked
Lykke Li & A$AP Rocky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let me do much
She love me too much, at least she used to
Then I used her, I abused her
Never thought I'd, ever lose her, I confused her
But I refuse to, be so wicked, hallelujah
My one heart hurt another
Can you give me just another
For that one who got away
Lonely I, I'm so alone now
There'll be no rest for the wicked
There's no song for the choir
There's no hope for the weary
If you let them win without a fight
I let my good one down
I let my true love die
I had his heart but I broke it every time
Pretty motherfucker from the north pole
Jiggy motherfucker but my heart cold
And the rest washed up like bar soap
Tell her read between the lines like a bar code
Get it?
Wicked, see my style, see my smile too wicked
Oh wickick me, tell her wiki me
Whens she wiki me, she gotta Lykke Li
Eazy-E riding on the big spokes, on the 6-4
They say I switch hoes how I switch clothes
Little nigga now doing big shows
But I'm heavy in the streets like I'm Big Pun
Reckless, no resting, but I'm wicked, nigga I'm flexing
Anti-depressants, couldn't help you with the lesson
If you didn't get the message, only weight is digression
There'll be no rest for the wicked
There's no song for the choir
There's no hope for the weary
If you let them win without a fight
I let my good one down
I let my true love die
I had his heart but I broke it every time
Wicked
No question
If love don't work it's just gonna hurt
It all goes bad, it just gets worse
I can't describe with just one verse
The lyrics to Lykke Li's song "No Rest for the Wicked" paint a picture of a man who has hurt someone he loves deeply, and he is haunted by the pain that he caused. He acknowledges that he abused and mistreated his loved one, never considering the possibility of losing her until it was too late. He recognizes that he was wicked and confused his partner, but he refuses to continue down that path. The lyrics express regret, loneliness, and a desperate wish for another chance to make things right.
The chorus repeats the idea that there is no rest for the wicked, emphasizing the remorse the singer feels for his actions. A$AP Rocky's verse adds another layer to the song, revealing his own icy heart and streetwise swagger. He brags about his status as a "pretty motherfucker" with cold emotions, spitting rhymes about his heavy presence in the streets and his ability to switch hoes like clothes. He asserts himself as a force to be reckoned with, no matter the toll it takes on him.

Love me too much
My partner loves me too strongly
Don't let me do much
I am unable to do many things independently
She love me too much, at least she used to
My partner used to love me wholeheartedly
Then I used her, I abused her
I mistreated and exploited my partner
Never thought I'd, ever lose her, I confused her
I did not expect to lose her, but I also didn't treat her well
But I refuse to, be so wicked, hallelujah
I don't want to be a bad person anymore
My one heart hurt another
My actions harmed another person emotionally
So only one life can't be enough
One life is not enough to make amends for the hurt I've caused
Can you give me just another
Could someone give me another chance?
For that one who got away
So that I can redeem myself to the one who left
Lonely I, I'm so alone now
I am alone and feel lonely
There'll be no rest for the wicked
I will not be able to find peace if I continue being a bad person
There's no song for the choir
There is no hope for redemption or healing
There's no hope for the weary
There is no hope for those who are tired and battered
If you let them win without a fight
If you don't resist, you will be defeated
I let my good one down
I let my good partner down
I let my true love die
I caused my true love's love to die
I had his heart but I broke it every time
I continuously hurt the one I loved
Pretty motherfucker from the north pole
I'm pretty and cool from a cold region
Jiggy motherfucker but my heart cold
I am a cool person but I can be unfeeling
And the rest washed up like bar soap
Others have faded away like soap bubbles
Tell her read between the lines like a bar code
Ask her to interpret the hidden message in between the lines
Get it?
Do you understand what I mean?
Wicked, see my style, see my smile too wicked
My style and smile both reflect my wickedness
Oh wickick me, tell her wiki me
If you search me, my wickedness will become evident
Whens she wiki me, she gotta Lykke Li
When you wikipedia me, you will learn about Lykke Li
Eazy-E riding on the big spokes, on the 6-4
Like Eazy-E, I am riding on big wheels
They say I switch hoes how I switch clothes
It is said that I am not loyal to my women
Little nigga now doing big shows
I am now performing in large venues
But I'm heavy in the streets like I'm Big Pun
I am still famous in the streets
Reckless, no resting, but I'm wicked, nigga I'm flexing
I am reckless and active, and I am proud of my wickedness
Anti-depressants, couldn't help you with the lesson
Taking anti-depressants won't solve your problems
If you didn't get the message, only weight is digression
If you don't understand, the only outcome is regression (as in, getting worse)
No question
Without doubt
If love don't work it's just gonna hurt
If love fails it will result in pain
It all goes bad, it just gets worse
Things go bad, and then they become worse
I can't describe with just one verse
I can't explain everything with just one line
Wicked
Bad or evil

This is hands down the best remix. Perfect sync, sick drum beats and personified vocals that reaches deep and pierces through your soul and sees you true.
@LiyahCooper786
How can you people even hate on this? This is perfection. Honestly.
@kronikfumes
This is honestly terrible if only you knew why.
@LiyahCooper786
***** feel free to enlighten me.
@kronikfumes
Liyah Cooper if you happen to listen to an artist called e-dubble, then you you know why this is bad. He wrote a remix almost a month before this with lykke li's permission and it was taken down because warner music saw it as copyright infringement since asap made a remix a month later.
@LiyahCooper786
***** that sucks. /: But that isn't really relevant tho. I mean yeah, that's pretty messed up, but it doesn't have anything to do with the quality of this remix.
@kronikfumes
Liyah Cooper yeah I mean I honestly just don't like it, but that's me
@Karlaarj

@alingkjet4098
