Restless
Methods of Massacre Lyrics

The lyrics of Methods of Massacre's song "Restless" depict an individual who has reached a breaking point and is now driven by a violent desire to destroy what they perceive as the "human disease." They are consumed by anger, hatred, and a need for revenge, as signified by the metaphorical "tumours of hatred" blooming in their brain. The singer feels that their final hour is approaching, with darkness building deep within them. They have an obsession to obliterate everyone, which stems from their frustration with the ignorance and lack of consideration they perceive in others. This burden becomes so overwhelming that they metaphorically cut the throats of those they despise. They no longer have the ability to feel, as their heart is "forbidden to beat and shout." They are left to choke on their own blood, symbolizing the destructive consequences of their actions.

The song criticizes society's duplicity and hypocrisy, highlighting the heavy weight of ignorance and lack of consideration that the singer feels burdened by. It portrays a sense of longing for justice and revenge against those who have contributed to their suffering. The lyrics also touch upon themes of self-hatred and a desire for escape, as the singer hates the world of agony more than they hate themselves. The question of when the world will stop turning suggests a desire for everything to end, further emphasizing the singer's restlessness and desire for a resolution.
