No Rest for the Wicked
Restless Nights and Wild Pursuits: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Ann Beretta's Nocturnal Anthem
Lyrics
Red light in the district tonight
There is a red light in the district, possibly symbolizing danger or a warning.
I'm drying out I know I'm only half alive
The speaker feels emotionally drained and only partially alive.
Break free from the anger that's inside of me
The desire to overcome inner anger and break free from it.
Two sheets to the wind
The speaker is in a state of inebriation or disorientation (two sheets to the wind).
I'm hung to dry
The speaker feels abandoned or exposed.
Coming clean
Confession or admission of something concealed.
Break down in the city on the streets tonight
A breakdown in the city, possibly a moment of crisis or vulnerability.
Crack down
A crackdown, possibly on the speaker's actions or lifestyle.
Living but it don't feel right
Existence feels off or uncomfortable despite being alive.
No sleep for the wicked
Insomnia or a troubled state with no rest for the wicked.
No rest for the wild tongith we're runnin' with the devil
Continuation of the restless and wild lifestyle, running with the devil.
We're out of rope & our of line and we're so lonely tonight
Feeling cornered and isolated, having exhausted options.
White lights in the skies tonight
Reference to city lights, perhaps highlighting a contrast or paradox.
How crooked are the corners when two wrongs won't make a right?
Acknowledging the moral ambiguity when two wrongs do not make a right.
Outcast from the agner that's inside of me
Being an outcast due to inner anger and conflict.
Heaven sent
Reference to a divine or positive intervention.
Hell bent whiskey town stellite
Being determined and devoted to a lifestyle involving alcohol.
And we're so lonely tonigth
Reiterating the sense of loneliness and isolation.
We let it all hang out tonight
Expressing freedom and abandonment of inhibitions.
We're gonna lose control this time we live 'till we die
Embracing a lack of control, living recklessly until death.
We're restless and we're restless
The speaker is consistently restless and unable to find peace.
And we're so lonely tonight
Reiterating the theme of loneliness and restlessness.
Take back the night
A call to reclaim the night, possibly suggesting a desire for control or change.
