Rushing

The shiny guns were loaded with bullets made of words
They hit and they exploded, we're bleeding and it hurts
We're in this fight together, there's none of us to blame
Whatever was the matter, this is a crying shame

But you bark and you bite and your reasons are true

Still you force and you fight and your blood keeps rushing
But you bark and you bite and your reasons are true
Still you force and you fight and your blood keeps rushing

You're a fool if you choose to believe in sight
And your rules save your world from a different light
Don't walk from me, talk to me

And your soul's getting lost in the dead of night
Bring it home, take a walk on the other side
Don't walk from me, talk to me

We're in this fight together, there's none of us to blame
Whatever was the matter, this is a crying shame

But you bark and you bite and your reasons are true
Still you force and you fight and your blood keeps rushing
But you bark and you bite and your reasons are true
Still you force and you fight and your blood keeps rushing

You're a fool if you choose to believe in sight
And your rules save your world from a different light
Don't walk from me, talk to me

And your soul's getting lost in the dead of night
Bring it home, take a walk on the other side
Don't walk from me, talk to me

You're a fool if you choose to believe in sight
And your rules save your world from a different light
Don't walk from me, talk to me

And your soul's getting lost in the dead of night

Bring it home, take a walk on the other side
Don't walk from me, talk to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rotersand’s “Rushing” explore a theme of conflict and misunderstanding in relationships. The opening lines, “The shiny guns were loaded with bullets made of words, / They hit and they exploded, we're bleeding and it hurts,” paint a vivid picture of the damage that can be done when people argue with each other. The song seems to be addressed to someone who is being aggressive and defensive: “But you bark and you bite and your reasons are true / Still you force and you fight and your blood keeps rushing.”

Despite the conflict, the singer emphasizes the need for communication: “Don't walk from me, talk to me.” They suggest that there is no real reason for the argument, and that both parties are at fault: “We're in this fight together, there's none of us to blame / Whatever was the matter, this is a crying shame.” The repeated line “You're a fool if you choose to believe in sight” suggests that the person being addressed is not seeing things clearly, and the final lines encourage them to open their mind: “Bring it home, take a walk on the other side / Don't walk from me, talk to me.”

Overall, “Rushing” is a powerful and evocative song that speaks to the difficulties of communication in relationships. It urges listeners to be open-minded and to strive to understand each other, even in the face of conflict.

Line by Line Meaning

The shiny guns were loaded with bullets made of words
The verbal attacks were as powerful and harmful as actual bullets

They hit and they exploded, we're bleeding and it hurts
The impact of the verbal attacks was painful and caused harm

We're in this fight together, there's none of us to blame
Both parties are responsible for the conflict and share equal blame

Whatever was the matter, this is a crying shame
The situation is unfortunate and sad

But you bark and you bite and your reasons are true
Despite being right in their arguments, one party is being aggressive and confrontational

Still you force and you fight and your blood keeps rushing
Despite the intensity of the conflict, both parties continue to fight and escalate the situation

You're a fool if you choose to believe in sight
Believing only what you see and not considering other perspectives is foolish

And your rules save your world from a different light
Having rigid rules and beliefs may keep you safe, but you may miss out on other perspectives and experiences

Don't walk from me, talk to me
Instead of avoiding the conflict, communicate and find a resolution

And your soul's getting lost in the dead of night
Ignoring your inner self and feelings can lead to feeling lost and disconnected

Bring it home, take a walk on the other side
Take time to explore other perspectives and understand the other party's point of view
