Rush
Weslynn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they're not getting any clearer
Heart on the ceiling
Kisses smeared on the mirror
Oh, Down on her luck and she's praying
She's wrapped in a towel and she's laying
On the floor, my boots haven't been here before
I lost time as a star
Oh, I keep trying for you
(You know I'm trying for you)
Give it, give it, give it a little more
Caught in a rush, in a world where you want it all
Give it, give it, give it all you've got oh
We're caught in a rush
Here in in the moment
Fingers unfolding
Take step back as the doors are closing
Wheels, rolling down a lonely road
Constantly roaming
Feelings unfolding
Home is with you; I don't need anything else
I need you by my side
Give it, give it, give it a little more
Caught in a rush, in a world where you want it all
Give it, give it, give it all you've got oh
We're caught in a rush
Yeah we're caught in a rush
Yeah we're caught in a rush
Yeah we're caught in a rush
Yeah we're caught in a rush
Give it, give it, give it a little more
Caught in a rush, in a world where you want it all
Give it, give it, give it all you've got oh
We're caught in a rush
Yeah we're caught in a rush
Yeah we're caught in a rush
Yeah we're caught in a rush
Yeah we're caught in a rush
Caught in a rush
The lyrics of Weslynn's song "Rush" tells the story of a couple caught in the momentum of life. The first few lines of the lyrics describe a scene of someone looking at the lights, but unable to see them clearly. This may be a metaphor for the confusion or uncertainty the couple are experiencing. The next line, "Heart on the ceiling, kisses smeared on the mirror" likely refers to the remnants of their intimacy, which has come to an end. The following line, "Down on her luck and she's praying" suggests that the woman is in a difficult place and seeking a way out. The mention of being wrapped in a towel suggests that this may be a moment of desperation.
The lyrics also describe a world where one wants it all, but is constantly caught in a rush. The line "Caught in a rush, in a world where you want it all" is indicative of this mindset. The singer wants to give it all, but remains unable to break free from the momentum of life. The line "Here in the moment, fingers unfolding" is a reminder that the singer is present, but at the same time they are also struggling to take control of their life. The final lines, "Home is with you; I don't need anything else, I need you by my side," tell us that the couple's relationship is the one stable element in their lives. They may be struggling, but together they are stronger.
Line by Line Meaning
You keep staring up at the lights
You're looking ahead with an uncertain gaze
But they're not getting any clearer
But you're not finding any clarity despite the view
Heart on the ceiling
Pondering deeply with your heart racing in your chest
Kisses smeared on the mirror
Reminiscing moments of intimacy with remnants of love on the surface
Oh, Down on her luck and she's praying
Feeling unlucky and vulnerable while hoping for a better future
She's wrapped in a towel and she's laying
Covering herself in a towel while lying down, feeling exposed and naked
On the floor, my boots haven't been here before
You notice the unfamiliarity of the surroundings
I lost time as a star
You've lost track of time and sense of reality
The earth looks so far away
The world feels distant and unreachable
Oh, I keep trying for you
You'll keep striving to please and impress someone special
(You know I'm trying for you)
(And they know you're trying)
Give it, give it, give it a little more
Put a bit more effort into everything you do
Caught in a rush, in a world where you want it all
Feeling overwhelmed in a society where you're expected to have everything
We're caught in a rush
We're all in this together, rushing to achieve our goals
Here in the moment
Focusing on the present, living in the now
Fingers unfolding
Liberating yourself of past struggles, letting go of emotional baggage
Take step back as the doors are closing
Reflecting on your past actions as opportunity slips away
Wheels, rolling down a lonely road
Journeying through life, through solitary terrain
Constantly roaming
Continuously searching for purpose, new experiences and destinations
Feelings unfolding
Emotions unfurling, developing, and intesifying
Home is with you; I don't need anything else
Finding peace and happiness from being with someone you love, and nothing else matters
I need you by my side
You need their company, support, and love to overcome any obstacle
Yeah we're caught in a rush
Acknowledging that we're all part of the same struggle
Caught in a rush
Everything seems to be happening too fast, time is running out
