The Rescue Blues
Rescue Blues Unveiled: A Poignant Journey Through Life's Struggles
Lyrics
And everybody wants you to be special
There is a societal expectation for you to be extraordinary.
And everybody wants you to be high
People desire you to experience a heightened state, possibly through success or intoxication.
They throw you down a rope when you're in
Support is offered when you face difficulties.
Trouble, baby
During tough times, individuals expect you to reach out for help.
Screamin', "save me"
In moments of distress, a plea for assistance is made.
Then they charge you with the rescue blues
However, they criticize and blame you for needing rescue.
Ah, the rescue blues, oh ah ah
Repetition for emphasis on the negative consequences of seeking help (rescue blues).
And everybody wants to see you suffer
There's a perverse desire for others to witness your suffering.
They know that you need the pain so much
People believe that you derive satisfaction from pain.
They throw you up a rope when you're too high
Assistance is provided when you're excessively elevated or ecstatic.
To cruise, baby
If you become too self-indulgent, criticism follows.
Lord, you lose lady
Loss is inevitable in such situations, especially for women.
Then they charge you with the rescue blues
Repeated warning about the negative consequences of seeking help (rescue blues).
Ah, the rescue blues, oh ah ah
Emphasizing the theme of being negatively judged for seeking rescue.
And everybody wants to see you fall
There is a collective desire to witness your downfall.
That's why they always love to get you high
People find joy in seeing you in an elevated state.
And everybody knows you need the pain so much, lady
Recognition that enduring pain is perceived as necessary.
Well, keep in touch, baby
A plea to maintain contact, but with a cautionary tone.
Just don't charge me with the rescue blues
Expressing a reluctance to be burdened by the negative consequences of seeking rescue.
Oh ah, rescue blues, oh ah ah
Repetition for emphasis on the theme of negative consequences associated with seeking help (rescue blues).
