Interpol – Rest My Chemistry Lyrics 17 years ago
I haven't slept for two days
I've bathed in nothing but sweat
And I've made hallways
Scenes for things to regret
My friends they come
And the lines they go by

- this refers to life on the road


I live my life filled with no pain
Just some rage and three kinds of yes

- this refers to his "demons"

And I've made stairways
Such scenes for things that I regret

- this refers to an incident that happened in which, obviously he regrets (happening to do with a girl)

But you're so young
You're so young
You look in my eyes
You're so young, so sweet, so surprised

- this refers to the girl. he sees her as she looks to him and realizes the reason why she is surprised. she is surprised because he is not as he seems. her perception of what she thought and actuality are very different.

I see a sign, it says “okay”
Gotta take a ride, just recline in the faraway
Got to take some time to realize
That my friends they come
And the lines they go by
Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry

- this refers to the fact that he wants to know more about her, but realizes that will never happen.

Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry
this just sums up to why he doesn't explore more into the young girl he met.
i am sure age, the fact that he is on tour (and doesn't have "time"), or maybe as everyone else has stated before....he is gonna take it easy from things in which are not good for him
i.e.: drinking or drugs

Meeting/seeing this girl helped open his eyes to the things he needs to change in himself
