RescuE
Mama Kin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a time I thought
You come swinging out the darkness
Take away anything slightly comforting to me
With your blazing love
With your blazing love

But no one can kiss
The life back into me and if
I would fall
I sincerely doubt that your kiss could set me free
Set me free, set me free
Uuhhhh
Come to my rescue I'm
I'm waiting and waiting for you, to come
Won't you come to my rescue
Won't you come to my rescue

Happily ever after its not quite
So I won't pardon anymore
The days are up and down
And the time longs for the sure
And the time, the time, it longs for the sure

But no one can kiss
The life back into me and if
I would fall
I sincerely doubt that your kiss could set me free
Set me free, set me free
Uuhhhh
Come to my rescue I'm
I'm waiting and waiting for you, to come
Won't you come to my rescue
Won't you come to my rescue

I feel this torn, quite some time ago, while you goes the door
I expected much, too much of you my darling
And you come in, all swinging now, you finally battle won
The voice been slanting, darling I ended triumphant not
I'm waiting and waiting for you, to come
I don't wanna be rescue
I don't wanna be rescue
Lover by my side
Darling we will ride
Lover by my side
Darling we will ride




Ohhh, lover by my side
Lover by my side

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mama Kin's song Rescue are imbued with a sense of longing for the love of another person to come and rescue the singer from the darkness and uncertainty of life. The singer understands that no one can truly kiss the life back into them, or truly make them feel free, but they still wait and hope for someone to come and rescue them. The song speaks to the idea that we often put our hopes and dreams onto another person, believing that they will be the answer to our struggles and the bringer of happiness. However, the reality is often different, and we must learn to find our own strength and happiness.


The chorus of the song "Come to my rescue, I'm waiting and waiting for you to come, won't you come to my rescue", highlights the idea that the singer feels helpless and unable to rescue themselves. The verses that follow it speak to the emotional toll that this waiting and hoping takes on a person. The final verse, "I don't wanna be rescue, lover by my side, darling we will ride", suggests that the singer has learned to hope for a different kind of love, one that is not about rescue, but about standing side by side and supporting one another.


Overall, the song raises important questions about the nature of love and rescue, and encourages us to seek out inner strength and support from those around us.


Line by Line Meaning

Once upon a time I thought
At some point in my past, I believed


You come swinging out the darkness
That you would appear suddenly and unexpectedly


Take away anything slightly comforting to me
You would remove whatever gave me even the slightest bit of comfort


With your blazing love
Using your powerful and intense affection


But no one can kiss
No one has the ability to


The life back into me and if
Bring life back to me, and even if they did


I would fall
I were to stumble or struggle


I sincerely doubt that your kiss could set me free
I don't believe that your affection is enough to free me


Come to my rescue I'm
Please save me, I am


I'm waiting and waiting for you, to come
I have been waiting for you to arrive


Won't you come to my rescue
Could you please come and save me


Happily ever after its not quite
Life isn't always fairytale perfect


So I won't pardon anymore
I won't make excuses for anything anymore


The days are up and down
Some days are good and others aren't


And the time longs for the sure
And I wish for certainty in my life


I feel this torn, quite some time ago, while you goes the door
I recall feeling conflicted a long time ago, when you left


I expected much, too much of you my darling
I had unrealistic expectations for you, my love


And you come in, all swinging now, you finally battle won
But now you're coming back triumphantly


The voice been slanting, darling I ended triumphant not
And although I may have sounded doubtful, I am now the victorious one


I don't wanna be rescue
I don't want to be saved


Lover by my side
With my beloved next to me


Darling we will ride
We will go on together


Ohhh, lover by my side
Oh, my love by my side

Come to my rescue I'm
I'm waiting and waiting for you, to come
Won't you come to my rescue
Won't you come to my rescue
Happily ever afters not quite
So important anymore
The days are up and down
And the time longs for these shoulders
And the time, the time, it longs for the shore
But no one can kiss
The life back into me and if
I would fall
I sincerely doubt that your kiss could set me free
Set me free, set me free
Uuhhhh

Come to my rescue I'm
I'm waiting and waiting for you, to come
Won't you come to my rescue
Won't you come to my rescue
I built this town, quite some time ago, while no one guards the door
I expected much, too much of you my darling gotta go
And if you come in, all swinging now, you finally battle won
The bulls been slane and darling I am the triumphant one
I'm waiting and waiting for you, to come
I don't wanna be rescue
I don't wanna be rescue
