Rescue Me
E.L.T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come...
Come and rescue me
Someday, we'll see
If it takes you nowhere
I flip through the channels, there's nothing to see
Wish of places that I long to be
Well, I never saw myself and thought I'd be here alone
White noise flowing from the TV screen
Comforts me in my time of need
Well, I never saw myself and thought I'd be here alone
Come...
Come and rescue me
Someday, we'll see
If it takes you nowhere
Come...
Come and rescue me
Someday, we'll see
If it takes you nowhere
Now I sit staring at an empty screen
Thoughts of remiss took the place of my dreams
Well, I never saw myself and thought I'd be here alone
I flipped through the channels, there was nothing to see
You know I never really wanted to be alone
Alone
I thought about yesterday
The thought of you going away
"Life..." they say, "is strange that way"
Living in this masquerade
Tomorrow's still a day away
No longer living for today
Whatever happened to yesterday?
Living in this masquerade
Come...
Come and rescue me
Someday, we'll see
If it takes you nowhere
Come...
Come and rescue me
Someday, we'll see
If it takes you nowhere
Come...
Come and rescue me
Someday, we'll see
If it takes you nowhere
Come...
Come and rescue me




Someday, we'll see
If it takes you nowhere

持田さんアイドル以上のルックスに加え歌唱力凄さに感動するんだよ

セカイ イシイ

歌詞が胸に突き刺さる快感ともっちーの可愛さと声の良さのインパクトが楽しめます。

こないだのランキングには入ってなかったけど、曲の疾走感、退廃的な歌詞、PVのエッジーさ、総合的にみて個人的にはNo.1🎵

山田太郎

なんか面倒くさい考察書いちゃうけど、時代的にこの辺りから報われない若者感の曲が色々と出てくる。ELTのこの曲はまさにその象徴的名曲。

よさゆき先生

歌詞がいまになっても全然古臭くないていうのが神すぎる!!

juventino

ELTにしては珍しく攻めてる歌詞、古臭くないというかむしろ先取りしてる

vioretzuki

このPVも今でも通用する
ELTのまさに神曲

もこた

先取る曲は名曲になる・・・!!
ほんとに2020年に聴いても色褪せない!
