Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running showers and the mist so fly
Enough time to know, know nothing at all
I see the lines, there's two lines
You'll live a life anew
Tell me what you need from me? Gas money?
And I did what I needed to, to be guided
Cut your teeth on sheets in Paris
(Rushes to the head)
We've been here before
The first time is not the best time
I ain't felt this way in years
First I was rushing full weight
This time I'm waiting for a rush
(Help me up)
Infatuation's your rush
(Help me up, help me, help me up, help me up yeah, do you)
Keep pushing on 'em, never let 'em stop
All what happens to be, what happens to me, upon his feet
Twin peaking, highs and lows, we shaded off alone
Bygones we wasted here, riding in my two wheels
I love the way you make me feel
(What happens to me)
Me, you and, you and me
(Yeah, just you and me)
([?] are up on my feet)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I be on [?]
I'll wake up in a week
Wake me up in a week
It don't matter
It don't matter [?] pipe it down
It was a crowd, quieting down
I won't sit still, I won't sit still
Friday, gone too late
It's going against your head
I'm getting used to it
Yeah you're going to get used to it
I love the way you make me feel
The lyrics of Frank Ocean's “Rushes” is full of vivid imagery that speaks of love, guidance, and the passing of time. The opening line “Gonna be somebody, oh I follow” has some inspirational undertones. It speaks to the central idea of the song which is to follow one's dreams and to be somebody. The next line “Running showers and the mist so fly” describes a mundane activity of taking a shower and yet infuses it with imagery of running water and mist, making it sound ethereal. The line “Enough time to know, know nothing at all” is a nod to the fact that time is fleeting and that even if we think we know something, in the end, it turns out we know nothing.
The lines “You'll live a life anew, Tell me what you need from me? Gas money? And I did what I needed to, to be guided” suggest that the singer is willing to do anything for guidance and that they are embarking on a new journey. The line “Cut your teeth on sheets in Paris” paints a picture of a romantic experience in Paris, while “Hope the water's deep enough (Rushes to the head)” suggests diving into something new and hoping for the best. The lines “The first time is not the best time, I ain't felt this way in years” is a reference to past experiences and learning from them, and how sometimes it takes a while to feel something again after a long time.
The lines “Infatuation's your rush” suggest that love is the singer's rush, and the chorus “Help me up, help me, help me up, help me up yeah, do you” speaks to the highs and lows of love and how one person can be the anchor that keeps the singer grounded. Overall, Rushes is a song that speaks to the uncertainty of the future, the pleasures and pains of love, and the idea that we should always be moving forward, no matter what happens.
Line by Line Meaning
Gonna be somebody, oh I follow
I'm determined to succeed, and I'm following my dreams
Running showers and the mist so fly
The water is flowing and swirling around me
Enough time to know, know nothing at all
There's always more to learn and discover in life
I see the lines, there's two lines
I see two paths in my life, and I'm not sure which to take
You'll live a life anew
You can always start fresh and reinvent yourself
Tell me what you need from me? Gas money?
What can I do to help you achieve your goals?
And I did what I needed to, to be guided
I did what was necessary to find direction and purpose
Cut your teeth on sheets in Paris
Take risks and try new things, even if they're difficult or uncomfortable
Hope the water's deep enough
I hope I'm ready for whatever challenges lie ahead
(Rushes to the head)
Feeling a sudden surge of intense emotion or energy
We've been here before
We've faced similar challenges or situations in the past
The first time is not the best time
The first attempt at something may not always be successful
I ain't felt this way in years
I haven't experienced these intense emotions in a long time
First I was rushing full weight
I was moving quickly and recklessly before
This time I'm waiting for a rush
I'm being more patient and intentional about seeking excitement and adventure
(Help me up)
I need assistance or support to get back on my feet
Infatuation's your rush
You get a thrill from falling in love or infatuation
(Help me up, help me, help me up, help me up yeah, do you)
Please lend me a hand when I need it, can you do that?
Keep pushing on 'em, never let 'em stop
Continue striving for success and don't give up
All what happens to be, what happens to me, upon his feet
Whatever happens to be, happens to me, and I deal with it as it comes
Twin peaking, highs and lows, we shaded off alone
We're experiencing ups and downs together, but still isolating ourselves
Bygones we wasted here, riding in my two wheels
We've spent time together in the past, riding around on my motorcycle
I love the way you make me feel
I feel happy and fulfilled when I'm with you
(What happens to me)
What will happen to me in the future?
Me, you and, you and me
It's just the two of us together
(Yeah, just you and me)
We're alone together and that's okay
([?] are up on my feet)
I'm standing up and moving forward
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I be on [?]
I'm feeling good and enjoying life
I'll wake up in a week
I'll still be here and alive in a week's time
Wake me up in a week
I'll need someone to wake me up in a week
It don't matter
It's not important
It don't matter [?] pipe it down
Whatever you're saying isn't important or relevant, so be quiet
It was a crowd, quieting down
There were a lot of people around, but they're starting to be more calm and quiet
I won't sit still, I won't sit still
I won't be complacent or still, I'll keep moving forward
Friday, gone too late
It's already Friday, and the week has gone by too quickly
It's going against your head
You're conflicted or struggling with something internally
I'm getting used to it
I'm starting to become more familiar with something
Yeah you're going to get used to it
You'll eventually become accustomed to whatever you're dealing with
I love the way you make me feel
You bring joy and happiness into my life

Lyrics:
Gonna be somebody, oh I follow
Oh and it's so cloudy
Running showers and the mist so fly
Enough time to know, know nothing at all
Oh I see the lines, there's two lines (walls)
You'll live a life anew
Tell me what you need from me? Gas money?
And I did what I needed to, to be kind
Cut your teeth on sheets in Paris
Hope the water's deep enough
It's a rush to the head
We've been here before (It's just like the water)
The first time is not the past time
I ain't felt this way in years
First, I was rushing for a wait
This time I'm waiting for a rush
(Oh, help me up off my feet)
Infatuation's your rush
(Help me, help me, help me off my feet, yeah
Do you wish you were me?)
Keep pushing on ‘em, never let ‘em stop (Do you wish you were me?)
All what happens to be, now it happens to me, upon his feet
Twin peaking, highs and lows, we shaded off and on
Bygones but we're still here, ride around in my two wheels
I love the way you make me feel
(What happens to me)
Bet you wish you was me
(You, just you and me)
(I need some help on my feet)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I be up to my feet
I wake up feeling weak
Wake me up in a week
(It’s like drivin’ round) (Stroke me, suck me, pipe me down)
(Two is a crowd, quieting down)
(Bite me down, pad me down, do whatever to fly me down)
It don't matter, pipe it down
Two is a crowd, quieting down
What stays and what- what's gone and what's here still
And what's here still
Riding my two wheels
They're gone and you're still here, rid-
They're gone and you're still here, riding my two wheels
I love the way you make me feel
