Rescue Me
Dare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life had only just begun
They said that life can last forever
We were wild, we were young
Life had only just begun
We were born to run
Now I know those days are gone
Just too blind to see
How could i not believe
Oohh, yeah
It was too far runnin′ baby
Mount in hell to climb
And where that river goes too deep
You can't even rescue me
Oh now i see
You can′t even rescue me
Try to catch the fire
Before the flame had gone
We saw the sun go down together
We were wild, we were young
Life had only just begun
Oohh, yeah
It was too far runnin' baby
Mount in hell to climb, oohh, yeah
And where that river goes too deep
You can't even rescue me
Oh now i see
You can′t even rescue me
And as i walk the sun go down
The darkness fail on sacred ground
For me and you to believe
God I carry on
It was too far runnin′ baby
Mount in hell to climb
And where that river goes too deep
You can't even rescue me
Oh now i see
You can′t even rescue me
The lyrics to Dare's song "Rescue Me" convey a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the past. The opening lines describe a passionate and intense relationship that felt invincible, with the reference to fire and the sun representing the intensity of their connection. They believed that their love could last forever, feeling wild and young, with life just beginning.
However, as time goes on and they mature, the singer realizes that those days are gone, like mist dissipating from water. The line "Just too blind to see, how could I not believe" suggests that they were unaware of the impermanence of their relationship and perhaps took it for granted.
The chorus expresses a feeling of disappointment and disillusionment. The idea of running too far, climbing a mountain in hell, and a river that goes too deep symbolize the challenges and obstacles they faced. The singer acknowledges that their partner cannot rescue them, indicating that they have come to terms with the fact that no external force can fix their relationship.
The final verse reveals a realization that the sun is setting, symbolizing the end of their relationship. The darkness falling on sacred ground implies a loss of hope and faith in their love. However, the singer decides to carry on, accepting the reality of the situation and finding strength within themselves.
