No Rest for the Wicked Lyrics

Cover art for No Rest for the Wicked lyrics by Lykke Li

It's about not allowing any time for pain to heal, just going on and finding a replacement when you're heartbroken. Eventually, you get lonely again, but you dust off, and move on, and the cycle keeps going hurting guys along the way.

Song Meaning

As an interpretation, noone is right or wrong, but I hope to God that is not what Lykke was trying to say. My interpretation is that she broke a mans heart and lost contact with him, and wishes she had another life to be with him again. She realizes only in hindsight that she lost a real keeper.

I ask any females reading to consider the karmic debt accrued by just casually breaking men's hearts the second you lose interest.
