Rescue me
Zebrahead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another tragedy in the news,
Someone shooting down the right to choose.
It doesn't seem at all that they chose the right way.

Another law I heard got passed today,
Someone's trying to take my rights away.
It doesn't seem to me they chose the right way.
It's out of my hands,
But stuck in my mind,
In time I find my spine is crooked in design
I want to be so much more (I want to be so much)

Rescue me
Take this hand, by myself, alone I stand

Rescue me
From this world, from myself, before I grow old
Someone rescue me.

Does anybody ever feel this way?
Does anybody have the guts to say?
It doesn't seem at all they chose the right way
(Yo man you're going the wrong way)

Who am I to say I disagree?
Who am I not to change a thing?
Because I don't believe they chose the right way
(Hey man you're going the wrong way)

It's out of my hands,
But stuck in my mind,
In time I find my spine is crooked in design
I want to be so much more (I want to be so much)

Rescue me
Take this hand, by myself, alone I stand...

Rescue me
From this world, from myself, before I grow old
Here it comes again

Excuse too weak to stand on
I'm falling off
Too weak to stand on
I'm falling off
Too weak to hang on
Falling for you to catch me

Excuse too weak to stand on
I'm falling off
Too weak to stand on
I'm falling off
Too weak to hang on
Falling for you to catch me, catch me

I'm afraid
That no one is changing
who's to blame?
Someone save me!

Rescue me
Take this hand, by myself, alone I stand

Rescue me
From this world, from myself, before I grow old
Someone rescue me

Save me now, you gotta save me now
(Save me!)

Save me now, somebody rescue me
(Save me!)





Save me now, you gotta save me now
(Save me!)

Another tragedy in the news
ニュースでは新たな悲劇
Someone's shooting down the right to choose
誰かが選ぶ権利を撃ち落としてる
It doesn't seem at all that they chose the right way
ヤツらが正しい道を選んだとは到底思えない
(Yo, man, you're goin' the wrong way)
(なぁ、アンタは道を間違ってるぜ)

Another law I heard got passed today
今日新たな法律が可決されたってよ
Someone's trying to take my rights away
誰かが俺の権利を奪おうとしてる
It doesn't seem to me they chose the right way
俺にはヤツらが正しい道を選んだとは思えない
(Hey, man, we're goin' the wrong way)
(なぁ、俺らは間違ってるぜ)

It's out of my hands, but stuck in my mind
俺の手を離れてるけど、心には残った
In time I find my spine is crooked in design (design)
いつか俺は自分の脊椎が歪んだ設計になってることに気づく
I wanna be so much more (more)
俺はもっとデカくなりたいんだ
I wanna be so much, much
もっと、もっと

Rescue me
助けてくれ
Take this hand
この手を取ってくれ
By myself, alone I stand
一人きりで立ってるんだ
Rescue me
救ってくれ
From this world
この世界から
From myself, before I grow old
年を取る前に、俺自身から
Someone rescue me
誰か救ってくれ

Does anybody ever feel this way?
こんな気持ちになるヤツはいるか?
Does anybody have the guts to say?
言う度胸のあるヤツはいるのか?
It doesn't seem at all they chose the right way
ヤツらが正しい道を選んだとは到底思えない
(Yo, man, you're goin' the wrong way)
(なぁ、アンタ間違ってるぜ)

Who am I to say I disagree?
俺は反対だと言う権利はない
Who am I not to change a thing?
そのままにしておく権利なんかない
Because I don't believe they chose the right way
だって、俺はヤツらが正しいだなんて信じちゃいないから
(Hey man, we're going the wrong way)
(なぁ、俺らは間違ってるぜ)

It's out of my hands, but stuck in my mind
俺の手を離れてるけど、心には残った
In time I find my spine is crooked in design (design)
いつか俺は自分の脊椎が歪んだ設計になってることに気づく
I wanna be so much more (more)
もっとデカくなりたいんだ
I wanna be so much, much
もっと、もっと

Rescue me
助けてくれ
Take this hand
この手を取ってくれ
By myself, alone I stand
一人きりで立ってるんだ
Rescue me
救ってくれ
From this world
この世界から
From myself, before I grow old
年を取る前に、俺自身から
Here it comes again
またやってくるぜ

Excuse too weak to stand on (I'm fallin' off)
立ってるためには弱すぎるのを許してくれ(俺は落ちてる)
Too weak to stand on (I'm fallin' off)
立つには弱すぎるんだ(落ちていく)
Too weak to hang on
しがみつくには弱すぎる
Fallin' for you to catch me
君につかんでもらうために落ちている

Excuse too weak to stand on (I'm fallin' off)

誰も変わっていないんじゃないかと
Who's to blame?
誰が悪いんだ?
Someone save me
