no rest for the wicked
Robin Schulz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My one heart hurt another
So only one life can't be enough
Can you give me just another
For that one who got away

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

My one heart hurt another
So only one life can't be enough
Can you give me just another
For that one who got away

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

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

There'll be no rest




There'll be no rest
There'll be no rest

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Robin Schulz's "No Rest For The Wicked" depict a story of heartbreak and regret. The first verse talks about hurting someone that the singer loved and lost, and how no matter how many chances he has in life, it will never be enough to make up for what he did. Instead, he pleads for another chance to make things right and win back the person he lost. The chorus then describes the idea that there are no breaks for those who have done wrong, no redemption for those who let their good ones down, and no hope for those who give up without a fight. The repetition of "there'll be no rest" creates a powerful and haunting message of guilt and remorse.


The song's lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desperation, as the singer longs for a possibility to right the wrongs he has committed. The lyrics are thought-provoking and emotional, reminding the listeners that our actions have consequences and that it is essential to fight for what we want in life. The song's message is relatable to a broad audience, and its catchy melody makes it easy to get lost and reflect on life's challenges and regrets.

My one heart hurt another
I hurt one person and my own heart is hurting as well


So only one life can't be enough
One life isn't enough to make up for the hurt I have caused


Can you give me just another
Can you give me another chance?


For that one who got away
For the person who I let go and deeply regret losing


There'll be no rest for the wicked
My bad actions will haunt me and I won't find peace


There's no song for the choir
Even if I try to make amends, no one will sing my praises

For those who are tired of trying, there is no more hope


If you let them win without a fight
If you don't stand up for yourself, you'll be defeated

I failed the person who was good to me


I let my true love die
I destroyed my chance with the person I truly loved


I had his heart but I broke it every time
I had his love but I continually hurt him and ruined our relationship


There'll be no rest
