Which would be, her life right then, only without any money, so she thinks that she might as well keep doing what she is doing. “I can’t slow down, I can’t hold back, Though you know I wish I could,” I think the prostitute is saying that her life is already ruined, she can’t stop or she’ll be in a deeper hole. In the song, the singer also says “Ain’t nothing in this world for free.” I think that means that everyone needs to work to get something, you can just sit there and expect to get it. Sometimes people think they have to steal, and “sell” their bodies because they feel it is the only way they can get what they need. Everyone, even them, needs money to survive and feed their families. They don’t get any rest from hassles, like bills, paying for food, and the law. In the line “ain’t no rest for the wicked,” it means that the wicked, meaning people who do bad things, don’t get a break. But I think they do it for the same reason, money. It talks about different people doing bad stuff. I think the song “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” by Caged Elephant has a few different meanings.
#AINT NO REST FOR THE WICKED FREE#
Thats why these people can't slow down or hold back like they say "even thou I wish I could" if you've ever done any kind of hustle you understand that goin from cold hard tax free cash back to a 9-5 is hard, most people who start hustlin-and never stop Prostitution, dealing drugs or any other hustle, it's hard to stop beause its more money than workin any 9-5. Wicked isn't to say that these people are bad people, its more or less dirty deeds and once you get caught up in these "wicked" things it's hard to stop weather it be stealing. Everyone in this song is made to sound like there is some good in there, their just tryin to take care of their own, "i wan't your money not your life", any heartless thug would just shoot him and the part about the preacher was indeed to show that even some of thee best of us are headin down this road. It's about people trying to just get by and doing things that they are not to proud of. This song is about struggle, everyone is interpreting this word for word when it is much deeper than that.
