Rescue Me
Gill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Kinda feel like prayin
Don't know what i'm sayin been so long
Kinda feel like cryin
I've crossed a line and I can't find home
But if anybody hears me
And you can undo the things i've done

Drag me down to the river and throw me in
Aint talkin bout the shallow but the deepest end
Take me down and hold me under
Don't let me breathe
Until you know i'm good and ready
For you to rescue me

Kinda feel like singin
First time feelin in oh so long
Kinda feel like swayin
Movin to the rythem of a healin song
Momma must be prayin
Cuz I can't explain what's going on





Can't believe how far i've gone
If there's still a room for me at home

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Gill's song "Rescue Me," the artist expresses a sense of desperation and longing for help. It begins with the line "Kinda feel like prayin," which suggests an internal struggle or a plea for guidance and redemption. The following line, "Don't know what I'm sayin been so long," hints at a feeling of losing touch with oneself or perhaps not being able to articulate the depth of the emotions being experienced.


The lyrics continue with "Kinda feel like cryin, I've crossed a line and I can't find home." Here, Gill explores the consequences of his actions, feeling remorseful and lost in the process. He acknowledges that he has gone too far and doesn't know how to return to a sense of comfort or familiarity. This line also reveals a sense of disconnection, both physically and emotionally.


The chorus of the song introduces the idea of being rescued. Gill sings, "But if anybody hears me and you can undo the things I've done, drag me down to the river and throw me in..." Here, he metaphorically suggests that he needs help to cleanse himself and restart, emphasizing the need for a deep, transformative experience. By using the imagery of being thrown into the deepest part of the river, Gill implies a willingness to face his struggles head-on, even if it means going through something challenging.


The second verse of the song continues the theme of longing for guidance and support. Gill states, "Kinda feel like singing, first time feeling in oh so long," indicating a sense of relief or joy that comes from expressing oneself through music. He follows it with, "Kinda feel like swayin, moving to the rhythm of a healing song." These lines imply that through music or some form of artistic expression, Gill finds solace and a way to heal his inner wounds.


The verse also suggests that Gill's mother is praying for him, as he sings, "Momma must be prayin, 'Cause I can't explain what's going on." This line further emphasizes the feeling of being lost and the need for external support to navigate through this difficult time.


The final line of the verse, "Can't believe how far I've gone, if there's still a room for me at home," reflects Gill's self-reflection and doubt. He questions whether he will be accepted back into a familiar and comforting environment after acknowledging the severity of his actions. Ultimately, the overall message of the song seems to be a plea for someone to rescue Gill from his own mistakes and guide him back home emotionally, metaphorically, or even physically.
