Hotel
Rescue in Tennessee: A Journey of Redemption and Desperation
Lyrics
So I went down in a hotel room
Arriving at a hotel room
In Tennessee when the sky was blue
Location in Tennessee with a clear sky
And I let a cry to you
Expressing a plea or cry for help to someone
“Oh rescue me, like I’ve heard that you do”
Requesting rescue based on previous knowledge or rumors
There was no doubt I felt it fade
Feeling a sensation dissipating or diminishing
With the volume down
Reducing the intensity or presence, possibly of emotions
While a song just played
Experiencing a moment where music played in the background
I was not the same when I left that day
Undergoing change or transformation after the experience
Yeah the sky was blue when my rescue came
Recalling the specific weather during the rescue
Because I’d been sitting in the corner with my eyes bent
Being in a reflective or contemplative state
Calculating stories of redemption
Engaging in mental calculations about stories of redemption
Wondering if they really were true
Questioning the authenticity of those stories
Because I took alcohol for cocaine when I felt blue
Substituting substances when feeling low
And all my favorite monsters just smiled too
Perceiving personal struggles or challenges
And said “happy ever after is not for you
Receiving pessimistic messages about a happy ending
You get hurricanes in the middle of the ocean”
Encountering unforeseen challenges or difficulties
All the cold waves like digital stop motion
Experiencing disruptions resembling digital effects
Keep crashing ’til you wonder if they’ll break you in two
Feeling overwhelmed by persistent hardships
And all the heart freeze lying in the desert
Not finding warmth or comfort in difficult circumstances
Where the sky seems spilt in both directions
Feeling disoriented and unable to find direction
And you can’t breathe
Experiencing suffocation or breathlessness metaphorically
You grow colder while you auction your youth
Losing vitality or energy while sacrificing youthfulness
So I died a million little seconds on the inside
Experiencing numerous emotional deaths or losses
I was growing an infection
Developing an emotional or psychological issue
My escape plan was choking in the corner
Feeling trapped in an unsuccessful plan to escape
I turned blue
Experiencing physical distress or suffocation
And I couldn’t breathe
Struggling to breathe or communicate
Oh rescue me
Repeating the plea or cry for rescue
Oh rescue me
Continuing to ask for help
In a hotel room
Reiterating the setting of the hotel room
