Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The galdem rush to feel the ill touch
Galdem ball and gal them a scream
They think ita love but a lust
That's why a bad gal beside is a must for I bust
She's the angel of me conscious yo yo yo

Never thought that I could feel something so strong
I wanna hold on to this moment before its gone
I wanna hold your body close its callin' to me
And when i look into your eyes I'm likin' what I see
Boy don't hold back from me
Just give me everything you got
I wonder I can keep
I know your gonna keep it hot

I catch a rush boy whenever we touch I go crazy
I'm feeling you baby
I dream like this boy whenever we kiss I can't take it
You know I can't fake it

Yo yo yo
Well I'm back with the boys and I knowin' that
Don't watch my face my gal you know I'm coming back
Most of mea gal them slide off easy like a thunderclap
When I see you from the back you know me need all a dat yo yo yo

Don't even know your name
But this feels so right
Its like I known you boy for all of my life
Don't need to say a word
We both understand
And my eyes are telling you
Catch me if you can
I'm falling faster now
You know you got me where you want
Too late I can't slow down
No way we're ever gonna stop

I catch a rush boy whenever we touch I go crazy
I'm feeling you baby
I dream like this boy whenever we kiss I can't take it
You know I can't fake it
You know I can't take it
You know I can't fake it, no, no

My girl turn it around and cut it out
And come a little close so you feel what I'm 'bout here
(No I can't take it)
(No I can't take it)
(No no)
My girl turn it around bring it near
Let me show you a thing dat a done ya career
I'm falling faster now
You know you got me where you want
Too late I can't slow down
No way we're ever gonna stop

I catch a rush boy whenever we touch I go crazy
I'm feeling you baby
I dream like this boy whenever we kiss I can't take it
You know I can't fake it





I catch a rush boy whenever we touch I go crazy
I'm feeling you baby

Overall Meaning

In the song "Rush" by Rihanna featuring Kardinal Offishall, the lyrics describe the intense physical connection between two people. The phrase "galdem rush to feel the ill touch" seems to imply that the women throw themselves at Kardinal because he has a reputation for being a bad boy. This sentiment is compounded when Rihanna sings, "They think it's love but it's lust, that's why a bad gal beside is a must for I bust." Essentially, the women are drawn to the danger and excitement of being with someone who is not necessarily good for them.


On the other hand, Rihanna appears to be the object of Kardinal's affections, with him calling her "the angel of [his] conscious" and saying that he can't slow down and that she's got him where she wants him. The chorus of the song, "I catch a rush boy whenever we touch I go crazy, I'm feeling you baby," underscores the power of their physical connection.


Overall, "Rush" can be interpreted as a song about the intoxicating and addicting nature of physical attraction, even when it may not necessarily be good for you.
