Rush
Kristina Bazan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Command me, oh
I like it when you speak
The words that have been left unsaid
When you came here so violently
Let me watch you all silently, oh
The world was dead so suddenly
Let me be me entirely, oh
It′s the way that we move
It's the way that you touch me
I could never let go, no
It′s the way that we move
It's the way that you touch me
Boy, don't go
You like it when I get all quiet for you
Boy, don′t you?
These moments you fill up
With words that are always unsaid
You′ve never been so shy to me
Been hating with such cruelty, oh
You linger laying brutally
Fingerprints writing poetry on me
It's the way that we move
It′s the way that you touch me
I can never let go, no
It's the way that we move
It′s the way that you're rushing through me
Don′t go, no, oh, yeah
It's the way that we move
It's the way that you touch me
I can never let go, no
It′s the way that we move
It′s the way that you're rushing through me
Don′t go
It's the way that we move
It′s the way that you touch me
I can never let go, no
It's the way that we move
It′s the way that you're rushing through me
Don't go
The lyrics to Kristina Bazan's song Rush are a mix of sensuality, aggression, and vulnerability. The singer enjoys when her partner takes control and commands her, appreciating when he speaks the words he's held back. The ambiguity of the lyrics in the verse, referring to a violent arrival and a silent observer, could be interpreted as a metaphor for the passion felt in the relationship or could be taken more literally. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the way they move and touch each other, creating an addiction that neither can let go of. The verses appear to involve the darker side of their relationship, with the partner hating with cruelty while leaving poetic fingerprints on the singer. This element of the song suggests that, while the singer enjoys the passion in their relationship, she is aware of a darker side, and it is unclear whether this element is desired or unwanted, creating a complex emotional dynamic in the song.
One of the interesting themes in Rush is its use of contradictory emotions to create a complex narrative. The lyrics evoke a sense of aggression and violence while still being sensual and erotic, giving the song a unique edge. The chorus's repetition creates a feeling of obsession, with the singer unable to let go of the intense feelings she has for her partner. The lyrics play with the idea of words being left unsaid, building up tension and never quite releasing it. Additionally, in the video for the song, there is imagery of struggle against chains and apparent power dynamics between the partners, only adding to the complexity of the song.
