Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another year down and another year older
A million fresh starts, what I needed was closure, yeah
I lost who I was but I found my composure, yeah
When I found you
I found me
Nothin' around, far as I could see
When I found you
I found me
Lines in the sand only you can read
My S.O.S., yeah, you rescued me
Rescue me
When I found you
I found me
Lines in the sand only you can read
My S.O.S., yeah, you rescued me
Call it high-strung, started uppin' my dosage
We're way too young to be feelin' this hopeless
You were my light in this endless ocean, yeah
Feelin' alive, even just for this moment, yeah
When I found you
I found me
Nothin' around, far as I could see
You were the current that carried me
When I found you
I found me
Lines in the sand only you can read
My S.O.S., yeah, you rescued me
Rescue me

Rescue me
The song "Rescue Me" by Marshmello is a reflection on finding salvation and hope in someone else. The singer acknowledges that they have never been saved before but with the person they are singing to, they have never felt closer to salvation. As another year passes, they realize that they need closure to find a fresh start. Despite feeling lost, they found their composure with the help of their loved one. The chorus emphasizes the importance of this person in their life as they discover themselves through their love. The metaphor of being carried by a current represents how the love of the other person has transported them to a better place.
The second verse expresses the singer's struggle with the overwhelming emotions of feeling lost and hopeless. They began to increase their medication to deal with their anxiety. However, despite feeling hopeless, their partner was their light in the endless ocean of depression. For a moment, they were no longer drowning in sorrow but felt alive. The singer remains immensely grateful towards their rescuer. They symbolize this through the metaphor of lines in the sand that only they can read. This signifies that the person they love is the only one who understands their needs and can give them what they need to survive.
Overall, "Rescue Me" is a song about the importance of a person who pulls you out of the darkness and into the light. The singer discovers themselves through their loved one, represents by the currents carrying them towards a better future. "Rescue Me" is a reminder that hope can be found at seemingly hopeless moments and that the love we give and receive can transform lives.

"imagine being 11 years old and hearing ADTR for the first time on their song with Marshmello.
So you get tickets for your 12th birthday.
Now you're in the middle of the crowd with your mom, and they open with 2nd Sucks.
Imagine the panic."
Came here for this lmao.

3 years we had good vibrations. It was a good run and I can still appreciate what they do no matter what because of what they did for us when we were younger.
