The Rescue
Kutless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything around me has come
Crashing to the ground
It's here I see my need
In all the devastation
I'm praying for a miracle, help me to escape
Again
[Chorus]
My life is a mass destruction
You're pulling me from the mess I'm in
You take me away
There's glass in the air I'm breathing
Somehow my heart keeps beating till
You take me away.
Will you send an angel
A ray of sunlight shining through the
Darkness of my world
It's falling down on me
You are my salvation
The only one to rescue me from the
Torment that I'm in
Again
[Chorus]
Goodbye my hurting
Goodbye my needing
Goodbye my worries
Goodbye to all of my bleeding
[Chorus]
You take me away!

The imagery used in the lyrics is powerful and evocative, from the crashing of everything around the singer to the glass in the air they are breathing. The desperation and need for rescue is palpable throughout the song, and the repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea of being saved and taken away.

Overall, “The Rescue” is a song that speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost, alone, and in need of help. The lyrics express a deep sense of vulnerability and fear, but also a belief that there is hope for salvation and rescue from whatever challenges we may face in life.
