The Rapture
William Bonney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
last fall when I was defeated
by the ghosts of my former self.
There's no god but I was in hell,
drifting from place to place
in search of somewhere safe.
Skinny legs and wolf eyes,
you are what saved my life and
Promise we'll never sink and I will never leave
to sulk on salt stained sleeves.
I'm done with the old me,
and the monsters on the wall.
I‘ve moved on from the fall:
good vibes about that time,
but now I've made you mine.
I'm blowing kisses at the moon again,
to signify that broken hearts can mend.
Let's not forget what we had back then,
but realize there's still safety in the term "best friends."
Hold my hand and I'll hold yours.
The lyrics of William Bonney’s song, “The Rapture”, depict a story that is both sorrowful and uplifting. At the beginning of the song, the singer describes the pain and difficulty of his past. He felt defeated, lost, and abandoned. However, he found light in an unexpected place. The singer found the hands he needed in someone else. This person, with their “skinny legs and wolf eyes,” saved him from his former self and gave him a sense of purpose. The singer makes a promise to never leave and to protect the newfound sense of safety he has with this person. He is no longer haunted by the monsters on the wall and has moved on from the fall. Although he remembers the past, he’s also excited about the future and blowing “kisses at the moon again.” The singer ends his story by proclaiming his love and promising that he will hold hands with this person through thick and thin.
The song “The Rapture” is a deeply personal and emotional story that speaks to listeners who have also suffered hardships and found light in unexpected places. The imagery in the lyrics is poignant and striking. Skinny legs and wolf eyes are not only specific, but a unique and vivid way to describe someone’s appearance. The singer’s promises of never leaving and holding hands are simple concepts, but they speak volumes about his commitment and love. The song is a reminder to celebrate the people who saved us from our darkest moments and to hold onto their hands as we move towards a brighter tomorrow.

I found the hands I needed,
I finally found the helping hand I was searching for
last fall when I was defeated
When I was at my lowest point, back in the fall
by the ghosts of my former self.
Haunted by my past mistakes and misdeeds
There's no god but I was in hell,
Even though I don't believe in God, I felt like I was in hell
drifting from place to place
Moving aimlessly with no direction or purpose
in search of somewhere safe.
Looking for a place of refuge and security
Skinny legs and wolf eyes,
Describing the appearance of the person who helped him
you are what saved my life and
Acknowledging that this person is responsible for saving his life
gave purpose to the word "survive."
Making him realize the true meaning and importance of survival
Promise we'll never sink and I will never leave
Making a vow to stay together and never give up
to sulk on salt stained sleeves.
To wallow in sadness and self-pity
I'm done with the old me,
Moving on from his old self and his past mistakes
and the monsters on the wall.
Getting rid of his fears and insecurities
I've moved on from the fall:
Moved on from his previous failures
good vibes about that time,
Having positive feelings and memories about that time
but now I've made you mine.
Declaring his commitment to this person
I'm blowing kisses at the moon again,
Expressing his romantic feelings and desires
to signify that broken hearts can mend.
Believing in the power of love and healing
Let's not forget what we had back then,
Remembering their past together
but realize there's still safety in the term "best friends."
Recognizing that friendship is a strong and secure foundation
Hold my hand and I'll hold yours.
Reaffirming their connection and commitment to one another

Drifting from place to place

Skinny legs and wolf eyes
You are what saved my life
And gave purpose to the word survive
Promise we'll never sink
And I will never leave
To sulk on salt-stained sleeves
I'm done with the old me
And the monsters on the wall
I've moved on from the fall
Good vibes about that time
But now I've made you mine
I'm blowing kisses at the moon again
To signify that broken hearts can mend
Let's not forget the way it was back then
But remember there's still safety In the term best friends
Hold my hand and I'll hold yours
