Rushin' Robert
Lost in the Shadows of Regret: A Journey Through Foster Dad's 'Rushin' Robert'
Lyrics
I spent these days so sick and oh so tired
I have spent these days feeling unwell and extremely fatigued.
Maybe the ways that your face begins to shade
Possibly referring to changes in facial expressions that indicate emotions or moods.
Coffee tastes of cigarettes and all of my regrets
The taste of coffee is tainted with the flavor of cigarettes, and it reminds me of my regrets.
Said just try your best well I guess I haven't yet
Someone advised me to "try your best," but it seems I haven't succeeded yet.
I guess I haven't yet
Reiteration that I have not been successful in trying my best.
Nothing's gonna save us
There is nothing external that can save us.
No, nothing but us
Emphasizing that the only thing that can save us is ourselves.
Nothing's gonna save us
Reiteration that external factors won't save us, only we can save ourselves.
No, nothing but us
Underlining the idea that our salvation is solely in our hands.
Here we are, here we go yet again
Expressing a sense of repetition or familiarity with a situation.
When we grow old, will we stay the best of friends
Raising a question about whether the friendship will endure as we age.
I lost myself in letters I never should have read
I became lost in letters that I shouldn't have read.
Is this all for real or is this all just in my head
Questioning the reality of the situation, wondering if it's just in my thoughts.
What's that in my head
Reiteration of questioning what is in my head, suggesting confusion or doubt.
Nothing's gonna save us
Similar to lines 6 and 8, emphasizing that external forces won't save us.
No, nothing but us
Reiterating that only we, ourselves, have the power to save us.
Nothing's gonna save us
Repeat of the idea that external factors cannot save us.
No, nothing but us
Reiteration that our salvation is solely our responsibility.
I am guilty too
Admitting guilt or fault in a situation.
Madness ensues when I'm not close to you
Suggesting that chaos or irrational behavior occurs when not in close proximity to someone.
For all that I've seen I am guilty too
Acknowledging guilt again, possibly related to experiences or actions.
Madness ensues when I'm not close to you
Reiteration of the impact on mental state when distant from someone.
For all that I've seen I am guilty too
Acknowledging guilt once more, possibly reflecting on past experiences.
