Restless
UNKLE/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 of UNKLE/Josh Homme's song Restless portray feelings of restlessness and a lack of care towards the negative opinions of others. The first verse contains an interesting play on words with "you go me my ma" which sounds similar to "you got me mama". The phrase "like you're some kind of God" suggests the power dynamics in a relationship, where one person dominates the other. The next verse implies a struggle with addiction, where the singer defends all habits, even harmful ones. The phrase "broken, house broken" could also be interpreted as a metaphor for a person who is emotionally damaged but trying to appear put-together on the outside. The repetition of "I'm in you, you're on me" could either refer to sexual intimacy or psychological connection.


The chorus of "Gonna follow the light to the love" suggests a desire to escape darkness and pain and find love and happiness. The second verse alludes to the idea that money cannot solve everything and that no matter how much we pay, we cannot escape the cycle of life with no beginning or end. The line "rip me from the breakage and solvents" could also be interpreted as a desire to escape the negative effects of substance abuse. The final verse shows a defiant attitude towards obstacles that may come the singer's way, with the use of phrases such as "I just break it, I just bend, I resend".


Overall, the song Restless portrays a mix of emotions, from a desire for love and happiness to a sense of powerlessness in the face of addiction and cyclical patterns of life. It is a powerful representation of the human struggle to find contentment in a world with many challenges.

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
