NO REST
Eternal Chase: Unveiling the Haunting Essence of 'NO REST'
Lyrics
You sleep with one eye open now
You are constantly vigilant, unable to fully relax as you sleep.
Only way that you know how
Vigilance is the only way you know how to sleep.
When every night could be your last
Every night is filled with the fear that it could be your last.
Sweet dreams visit you no more
You no longer experience pleasant dreams; they have abandoned you.
They're scared of nightmares at your door
Nightmares, symbolic of fear and danger, haunt you.
When you become the pray
You have become the prey in a dangerous situation.
Then you understand
Experiencing being the prey helps you understand the situation.
There's no rest
Repetition emphasizes the theme that there is no rest for those being hunted.
No rest, no rest
-No rest for the hunted
-There's no rest
-No rest, no rest
-No rest for the hunted
-After the end of the world
Life continues after a catastrophic event, but it's a new and challenging existence.
New life for every boy and girl
Every day is a struggle, especially for the younger generation.
Everyday on the run, yeah
The constant need to run and escape is a daily reality.
Monsters made of skin and bone
Threats are not supernatural but human-like monsters with familiarity.
Who look like someone you know
These monsters resemble someone you know, adding a personal and unsettling dimension.
Got a taste for your blood
They crave your blood, suggesting a predatory nature.
So let the hunt begin
The hunt begins, indicating a struggle for survival.
There's no rest
Repetition reinforces the idea that there is no rest for those being hunted.
No rest, no rest
-No rest for the hunted
-There's no rest
-There's no rest
-No rest, no rest
-No rest for the hunted
-There's no rest, no rest
-There's no quiet in the ocean deep
Metaphorically, even the deep ocean is not peaceful when danger (sharks) is present.
When the sharks come out to feed
-There's no quiet in the ocean deep
-When the sharks come out to feed
-There's no quiet in the ocean deep
Continuation of the metaphor, emphasizing the absence of quiet in the face of danger.
When the sharks come out to feed
-There's no quiet
-(There's no quiet)
-There's no rest
Reiteration of the central theme: no rest for those who are hunted.
No rest, no rest
-No rest for the hunted
-There's no rest
-There's no rest
-No rest, no rest (no rest)
-No rest for the hunted
-No rest, no rest
-No rest, no rest for the hunted
-No rest, no rest
-No rest for the hunted
-No rest for the hunted
Final emphasis on the relentless nature of being hunted.
