The Rescuing Type
Unveiling the Heroic Heart: The Rescuing Type by The Rocket Summer
Lyrics
And if I could go back Was heaven abound on the other side of them train tracks?
If I could go back, questioning if heaven was on the other side of the train tracks.
I kicked the rocks as I watched you leaving. Thinking of how I could save you
Expressing regret and self-blame for not preventing a departure, contemplating ways to save someone.
And how close was your window I should have gone through it.
Reflecting on missed opportunities, specifically considering the proximity to the person's window.
I should have been a roman. Oh how I know it
Wishing to have been more courageous or heroic, referencing being a "roman" symbolizing bravery.
Be the rescuing type. Be reckless. Be bright.
Encouraging oneself to be the rescuer, emphasizing recklessness and brightness as qualities.
Do you sometimes hear that heroic heart beating behind bars?
Pondering if others perceive a heroic spirit despite personal struggles or limitations.
Yes that question is mine. Am I that rescuing type?
Posing a self-reflective question about whether the speaker possesses the characteristics of a rescuer.
So shook up. Many a thing I've seen but never seen a thing so messed up as someone in need and I stutter, I can't get up.
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to respond appropriately when witnessing someone in distress.
Reminds me how you would like to sing but don't for fear of them blue notes.
Drawing a parallel between the fear of singing (blue notes) and the hesitation to act heroically.
Should have gone through it, should have been a roman. Oh how I know it
Reiterating missed opportunities and the desire to have been courageous, emphasizing regret.
Be the rescuing type. Be reckless. Be bright.
Repeating the call to be a rescuer with emphasis on recklessness and brightness.
Do you sometimes hear that heroic heart beating behind bars?
Revisiting the theme of a heroic heart behind bars, questioning if it's audible to others.
Yes that question is mine. Am I that rescuing type?
Repeating the self-reflective question about the speaker's potential as a rescuer.
Break my heart in two so I can see what I'm supposed to do.
Expressing a desire for emotional pain to provide clarity on what actions to take.
I've covered it up layers black and blue open it up, let me see that blood red truth.
Metaphorically referring to emotional wounds, urging to reveal the genuine and painful truth.
Break my heart. I'm ready to start to be the rescuing type.
Expressing readiness to experience emotional pain in order to embrace the role of a rescuer.
Be reckless. Be bright.
Reiterating the qualities of recklessness and brightness as essential for the rescuer's role.
Do you sometimes hear that heroic heart beating behind bars?
Revisiting the theme of a heroic heart behind bars, questioning its perceptibility to others.
Yes that question is mine. Am I that rescuing type
Repeating the self-reflective question, emphasizing the uncertainty about being a rescuer.
