Rescued Lyrics

It came in a flash
It came out of nowhere
It happened so fast
And then it was over

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Is this happening now? Oh
Are you feeling what I'm feeling?
This is happening now

We're all free to some degree
To dance under the lights
I'm just waiting to be rescued
Bring me back to life
Kings and queens and in-betweens
We all deserve the right
I'm just waiting to be rescued
I'm just waiting to be rescued
We're all just waiting to be rescued tonight

I fell in a trap
My heart's getting colder
It's coming on fast
It's over my shoulder, oh

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Is this happening now? Oh
Are you feeling what I'm feeling?
This is happening now

We're all free to some degree
To dance under the lights
I'm just waiting to be rescued
Bring me back to life
Kings and queens and in-betweens
We all deserve the right
I'm just waiting to be rescued
I'm just waiting to be rescued
We're all just waiting to be rescued tonight
To be rescued tonight
Rescue me tonight
Rescue me tonight

We're all free to some degree
To dance under the lights
I'm just waiting to be rescued
Bring me back to life
Kings and queens and in-betweens
We all deserve the right
I'm just waiting to be rescued
I'm just waiting to be rescued
We're all just waiting to be rescued tonight
To be rescued tonight
Rescue me tonight
Rescue me tonight

Cover art for Rescued lyrics by Foo Fighters

I feel like this first song sets up the themes of But Here We Are, namely life/death and Illusions of both along with their trappings and joy and pain. You can have everything or have list everything but we're all part of it, we all dance and we're all trapped here from the Royalty to the rest of us. It's such a great thing Dave Grohl always does with his lyrics and compositions in that it could and usually to the many music fans does mean several things at once. And this opener sets the tones of the very emotional very amazing album from the Get. Dave may be trapped or joyous or both but usually something happens big that stops it all, stops us in our tracks. Noone can escape it and we all are wiser and perhaps can make some sense or even just a little peace of mind when tragedy or change strikes us all. I Don't really know what Senor Grohl s intentions are with this but I believe he's a Mastercat stating the problem or concern and the making his way which ideally is inspiring to us all to Carry on our Wayward pursuits in the face of it all, in the Valley of the Shadows. Foo Fighters have played on these themes since the Beginning (Something From Nothing, I Am A River, Saint Cecicilia, Times Like These, Learn To Fly, Walk, The Pretender, End Over End, Best Of You, I'll Stick Around, February Stars, and on and always come out on Top just about all the Time. Now that's Life and HowcTo Live It Dudes!🤠👍🎸🥁🔥🎵✌️
