RescuE
Seabird Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm drowning, but nobody knows it
I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm dying, just want you to notice

Somehow the grave has captured me
Show me the man I used to be
Just when I feel my breath is running out

The earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy
Broken and empty, but you don't care
'Cause you are my rapture, you are my savior
When all my hope is gone, I reach for you
You are my rescue
You are my rescue

I'm swimming to safety, but even with my best
If I don't see that rope soon, this might be my last breath

Somehow the grave has captured me
Show me the man I used to be
Just when I feel my breath is running out

The earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy
Broken and empty, but you don't care
'Cause you are my rapture, you are my savior
When all my hope is gone, I reach for you
You are my rescue

Don't let me drown
Can you hear me
'Cause I am
Calling out
I'm underground
Won't you pull me out

The earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy
Broken and empty, but you don't care
Because you are my rapture, you are my savior
When all my hope is gone, I reach for you
You are my rescue
You are my rescue
Yeah, you are my rescue
Yeah! You are my rescue





I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm dying, just want you to notice...

Beautiful imagery use in the lyrics. Lead singers voice is so passionate. I just love their songs. Was looking through my history and am so glad, I haven't been moved by much music lately but their songs really dig in, deeper than I expected.

Ceci

This song popped in my head today, haven't heard in years. I think I saw them open for Chris Tomlin. Good memories ❣️
