Rescue
The Summer Set Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The evidence of last night's, scattered on the floor
We caffeniate our blood, talk religion and our families,
Graduate then separate, throw our caps into the air
Now it's three o'clock in the morning, and you're cryin' on the curb.
If you never scrap your knees, you're never gonna learn
Never said that life was easy, but we're gonna make it work.
[Chorus]
When you'll need me I'll be there,
A friend in the eye of the storm.
And when all the lights burn out
I'll carry you out of the dark,
I'm come to your rescue
You remember when we used to swing from street lights.
Chasing New York minutes from pacific time
And if I didn't believe in you, why the hell am I still here?
Like an album gloss we're lost in, even after all these years.
[Chorus]
When your ups and downs, spin you round and round again
If you're dizzy now, when your world is caving in
I'll come to your rescue
Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you
Come to your rescue.
[Chorus]
And one day the sky so clear, nothing to worry no fear
Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you
Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you
The lyrics of the song Rescue by The Summer Set paint a picture of friendship and the support we give each other through the ups and downs of life. The opening lines suggest that the characters are perhaps in their mid-twenties, reflecting on the past whilst trying to make sense of the present. They've been drinking and their decisions from the night before have left their consequences marked on the floors. However, despite their personal struggles and the challenges that they face, they still lean on each other for help.
The chorus of the song speaks to this dynamic. It embodies the supportive friendship that we all crave when times are tough. When the going gets rough and the darkness sets in, the singer pledges to be there for their friend, to "carry them out of the dark." The second verse adds color to their relationship, invoking memories of childhood play and exploration, but also emphasizing the importance of the present and the persistence of their friendship over time.
Overall, the song captures the essence of true friendship and the unbreakable bond that it creates. At its core, Rescue is a reminder that no matter what we face in life, a good friend will always be there to help us see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Line by Line Meaning
When the drinks come marchin' in, guess we do the resolution
When we start drinking, we begin to make resolutions for the night
The evidence of last night's, scattered on the floor
The remnants of our drunken night are scattered on the floor
We caffeniate our blood, talk religion and our families,
We drink coffee to keep ourselves awake and discuss our beliefs and families
Graduate then separate, throw our caps into the air
After graduation, we go our separate ways and throw our graduation caps in the air
Now it's three o'clock in the morning, and you're cryin' on the curb.
It's the middle of the night and you're upset, sitting on the sidewalk
If you never scrap your knees, you're never gonna learn
If you don't make mistakes or experience pain, you won't grow and learn from them
Never said that life was easy, but we're gonna make it work.
Life is difficult, but we'll find a way to make it work
When you'll need me I'll be there,
A friend in the eye of the storm.
When you need me, I'll be there for you as a dependable friend in a chaotic situation
And when all the lights burn out
I'll carry you out of the dark,
When everything seems lost and hopeless, I'll be there to help guide you through it
I'm come to your rescue
I'm here to save you from whatever troubles you're facing
You remember when we used to swing from street lights.
Do you remember our reckless youthful days of swinging from street lights?
Chasing New York minutes from pacific time
We used to hurry to make the most of our time, from the East Coast to West Coast
And if I didn't believe in you, why the hell am I still here?
If I didn't have faith in you, why would I be here with you now?
Like an album gloss we're lost in, even after all these years.
We're still stuck in the past and can't get over the memories that haunt us
When your ups and downs, spin you round and round again
When you're faced with the highs and lows of life, spinning you around
If you're dizzy now, when your world is caving in
If you're feeling overwhelmed now, when everything is falling apart
I'll come to your rescue
I'll be there to save you from your troubles
And one day the sky so clear, nothing to worry no fear
One day, everything will be okay and we'll have nothing to worry about
Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you
Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you
A repeating chorus of reassurance that the singer will always be there for their friend in need
