Restless Man
Embracing Restlessness: A Dance through Grown-Up Styles
Lyrics
You are a restless man and you won't sleep tonight
You, the person addressed, are filled with restlessness, preventing you from sleeping tonight.
cause we sit around and talk about you and me
The reason for your restlessness is our discussions about our relationship.
We'll listen to the same record over and over again
We will repeatedly play the same record, creating a familiar and perhaps nostalgic atmosphere.
and shots will find us dancing to a frenzy rhythm
Despite the restlessness, we'll be found dancing energetically to the music's lively rhythm.
I am a restless girl and you won't sleep tonight
I, the speaker, am also restless, contributing to your sleepless night.
cause we will lie in bed and watch them stars fall
We'll lie in bed together, observing falling stars, fostering a romantic and contemplative mood.
You'll hold my hands and say let's dance the way we did as kids
You express a desire to recreate the carefree dancing of our childhood.
Then I will feel your lips and your breath under my neck
Physical intimacy follows, with a description of feeling lips and breath on the speaker's neck.
We are the restless ones
We both embody restlessness, suggesting a shared characteristic or mindset.
We are the tie-free style
We embrace a lifestyle without constraints or obligations.
We all the live-for-now style
We adopt a live-for-the-moment attitude, prioritizing the present over the future.
We dance our own ways
We celebrate individuality and dance in our unique ways.
We'll spend the day together because there's nothing else to do
We spend time together as there's a lack of other compelling activities.
We met and now we have to prove ourselves we won
Having met, we feel compelled to prove ourselves and assert our identities.
We are the restless ones
We reiterate our restless nature, emphasizing a recurring theme.
We are the tie-free style
Similar to line 12, we reaffirm our commitment to a lifestyle without ties or restrictions.
We are the fake-smile style
We acknowledge a tendency to present a facade of happiness or contentment.
So we just dance again
In spite of challenges, we continue to dance, symbolizing resilience.
You are a restless man
A repetition emphasizing the restlessness of the addressed person.
And I'm a restless girl
The speaker reiterates their restlessness, emphasizing a shared state.
We dance the way we did as kids
A return to the nostalgic, carefree dancing of childhood, reinforcing a sense of innocence.
Then we do the grown-up style
We transition to a more mature, grown-up style, acknowledging the passage of time.
The restless style
A conclusive statement affirming a persistent adherence to the restless lifestyle.
