My Beautiful Rescue

no offense, but this is a site to ask/give yiour thoughts about the meanings of songs. not to talk about your boyfriend and when you are getting their cd.

a lot of people have the same ideas of what this means as me.

i see this song in two different ways. the first way is religious, just like harlequingurl said.

Well basically, the guy is saved. So after he realizing his sins, he will discard his pride and sing and dance for the Lord. "Well I'm crying out "Wash my hands, these bloody hands, Lord" And I'll open my mouth and I'll sing Whoa-ho-ho-ho"

• it's pretty much spelled out right there.

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings At the top of my lungs I'm singing you a song Don't you leave me alone My bones were shattered My pride lay shattered Well, I'll trample my pride Until the whole world will dance with me.

• talking about finding god and being rescued. dancing at the tops of buildings is a metaphor, meaning that they're showing their faith and that they believe.
  • "at the top of my lungs, i'm singing you a song" shouting that the person has faith and believes. singing is a way of showing affection in my eyes. so i tihnk this person means that they believe and don't care who knows it.
  • "my bones were shaddered, my pride lay shattered" this person was basically a mess. they were giving up on life. they didn't care anymore.
  • well, i'll trample my pride" they don't care about what anyone thinks, as long as God knows he believes and has faith.
  • "until the whole world dances with me" is determined on spreading faith and guiding people to God. Will not stop until everyone believes. wants to hlp everyone find hope and faith and be saved just like they were.

And in the midst of this self-inflicted pain, I can see my beautiful rescue.

• "and in the midst of this self-inflicted pain" they attempted suicide
• "i can see my beautiful rescue" they found faith in God and were rescued.

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings, With you.

• God is with this person and they know it. they can feel his presence.

i'm not very religious, so some of my comments may sound off. sorry.

now the other way i see it is a guy is in love with a girl and can't think of a way to say it to her, so he writes a song about it. I've been jumping from the tops of buildings For the thrill of the fall, ignoring sound advice and any thought of consequence My bones are shattered My pride is shattered And in the midst of this self-inflicted pain, I can see my beautiful rescue.

-"i've been jumping from the tops of buildings" they're in love an feel like they're capable of everything. maybe even flying [?]

• "ignoring sound advice and any thought of consequence" they can't help but be in love with this person. they aren't worried about getting their heart broken.
• "my pride is shaddered" the person is in love and needs to let this girl/guy know it. they don't care if they sound silly, they just need to let them know.
• "i can see my beautiful rescue" the person saved them in a way. they made them really appreciate life. they're in love.

I'm falling more in love With every single word I withhold. I'm falling more in love With every single word you say. I'm falling head over heels for you.

• it's pretty self explanatory.

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings, With you.

• by the end of the song, the other person gets the message.and they're in love with them, too. and they're going to let the other person [and everyone else] know it.

i guess you could interpret the song in a lot of different ways. again, please excuse my ignorance of religion and faith and such. hope all this helps. :]
