Rush
Eddy Washboard Lyrics

The song "Rush" by Eddy Washboard talks about feeling stuck and overwhelmed, dreaming of being free from the pressures that seem to be holding you down. The phrase "Serve to the crown in my head" refers to the sense of duty and responsibility that comes with the external expectations and internal anxieties that one feels. The repetition of this line emphasizes the weight and importance of these obligations but also draws attention to the fact that they are self-imposed. The singer admits that they are unsure how to break free, and that they need help to extract themselves from this suffocating mindset.

The chorus indicates a desire to escape, to shed the burdens of everyday life and simply indulge in pleasure. The line "What I would give for you tonight / It's your life / Baby Don't think twice" implies a willingness to take risks and live in the moment, to stop worrying about consequences and obligations. The language in this section suggests a yearning for intimacy, for someone who understands and can help them forget the heavier aspects of life. However, the repetition of "I'm slipping away" suggests that this escape may come at a cost and may not necessarily be a sustainable solution.

The previously mentioned heavy themes of self-imposed pressure and the desire to escape to pleasure are recurrent themes in "Rush." The choice to use phrases like "Serve to the crown in my head" and "patience decayed" gives poetic depth to the lyrics while conveying a sense of struggle and internal conflict.
