Nothing Comes to Rest Lyrics

hey charlie nothing comes to rest
on the chests of those always running
and in this life i have been blessed
with starcrossed maps that kept me moving
but charles
the empty miles press
with the weight i thought i was avoiding
and how can i confess
when i know not what i am doing?

release the load
release and load again
release the load and then

hey charlies when's it gonna click?
i've been waiting all my life
for this
i'm tired of living from the wrist
and leaving all decision
to coincidence

release the load
release and load again
release the load and then

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's about a guy running from something, or towards something all his life. He doesn't know when he's going to find it, or what's going to happen when he does. "The empty miles press with the weight I thought i was avoiding" means he's running from something but it's still with him, and he doesn't know how to "release the load." At first I thought this song was about him thinking about killing himself, but i don't think so anymore. I think it's about finding something in life and that running isn't the answer.

It seems similar in ways to their other songs although this one has the added theme of 'travel'.

'Living from the wrists'... A skill that makes life very easy.

A person that has it all worked out, has money etc. But feels a certain spiritual emptiness. This one travels.
