Restart

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was amazed at the man I could be
I did all the right things
And my aim was to please
I could talk about it
But they won't believe me

Walking around but if feels like a crawl
Telling kids to be mean it's the worst of it all
I could talk about it
But people deceive me

How will I give up?
It is only our love
What were we thinking when we started?
And how did we think we could ever part?
But now it all seems a bit too heavy
I think we could all use a restart
But was does that mean?

I've taken up pieces
I found once again
I belong with the broken
But soon I'll be dead
I could talk about it
But who will deceive me?

I get out with the crowd
Every once in a while
But I'm holding out
Holding out

How will I give up?
It is only our love
What were we thinking when we started?
And how did we think we could ever part?
But now it all seems a bit too heavy
I think we could all use a restart
But was does that mean?

I've given up, given up, given up, given up
I've given up, given up, given up, given up
I've given uuuup
On living it up
I've given up, given up, given up, given up
I've given up, given up, given up, given up
I've given uuuup
On living it up

How will I give up?
It is only our love
What were we thinking when we started?
And how did we think we could ever part?
But now it all seems a bit too heavy




I think we could all use a restart
But was does that mean?

Overall Meaning

In "Restart," the lead singer reflects on his life and how he has tried to do everything right, even if it meant pleasing others. He feels like he's been crawling through life, and despite his efforts, some people have deceived him. He then questions the meaning of a "restart" and wonders if his life is too heavy to bear.


The second verse shows the singer feeling broken and out of place, despite trying to fit in with society. He feels like he's always holding on, trying to make it in the crowd, but ultimately he's given up on trying to live recklessly. The last chorus repeats the title of the song and poses the same question as before: what does a "restart" really entail?


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of existentialism and disillusionment with modern life. The singer questions the meaning behind his actions and wonders if there is something more fulfilling that he could be doing. At the same time, he doesn't seem to have any answers and is left in a state of uncertainty.

I did all the right things
I made all the correct decisions


And my aim was to please
I wanted to make others happy


I could talk about it
I could explain my feelings


But they won't believe me
But they will not trust what I say


Walking around but if feels like a crawl
Moving feels slow and difficult


Telling kids to be mean it's the worst of it all
Encouraging children to be cruel is the most terrible act


I could talk about it
I could discuss things


But people deceive me

It is only our love
It is merely the love we share

But who will deceive me?
But who will trick me?


I get out with the crowd
I join in with a group of people


Every once in a while
Occasionally


But I'm holding out
But I am persevering


On living it up
On enjoying oneself


I've given up, given up, given up, given up
I have surrendered


I've given uuuup
I have relinquished


How will I give up?
How could I abandon something?


It is only our love
It is merely the love we share
