Rescue me
The Kick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my rights
Now seem wrong
This heart is hard and all alone
With bloodshoot eyes, I can't disguise who you are tonight

All the scars
This noose holds my neck so tight
So tonight go all the way don't stop untill I'm gone/You're gone

With breaking waves and seas that storm
My fathers eyes have kept me calm





When you stop sinking, Then I'll stop drinking

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Kick's "Rescue Me" paint a picture of someone who is struggling to come to terms with their emotions and the challenges that life has thrown at them. The first few lines speak of how everything that the person used to consider right now seems wrong. They are alone, and even though they try to hide their true feelings, the pain inside is evident in their bloodshot eyes. The references to scars and a noose around their neck suggest that they feel trapped and helpless.


In the chorus, the person seems to be calling out for help, urging whoever is listening to go all the way and rescue them before it's too late. They are willing to let go of everything that's keeping them down and to take a leap of faith. The reference to breaking waves and seas that storm suggests the enormity of the challenge they are facing, but they find comfort in the fact that their father's eyes have always been a source of strength and stability.


The final line, "When you stop sinking, then I'll stop drinking," is perhaps the most poignant. It suggests that the person is drowning their sorrows in alcohol, and they won't stop until they are rescued.


Overall, "Rescue Me" is a powerful anthem that speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost or alone. The lyrics are poignant and raw, and the emotive melody only adds to the impact of the message.

All my rights
Everything I thought was right


Now seem wrong
Now seems wrong and confusing


This heart is hard and all alone
I feel cold and lonely inside


With bloodshot eyes, I can't disguise who you are tonight
I can't hide the fact that I still love you despite the pain


All the scars
All the emotional wounds


This noose holds my neck so tight
I feel suffocated by my pain


So tonight go all the way don't stop until I'm gone/You're gone
Let's indulge in self-destructive behavior to forget the pain


With breaking waves and seas that storm
With chaos and turmoil all around me


My father's eyes have kept me calm
My father's wisdom has helped me stay grounded


When you stop sinking, Then I'll stop drinking
I will stop my self-destructive habits when you stop hurting me
