You Rescue Me
Celestial Redemption: Wishbone Ash's "You Rescue Me" Meaning
Lyrics
Among the stars on this side of heaven
Reflecting on celestial beauty, possibly a metaphor for inspiration or solace.
I lay broken and destroyed.
Expressing personal vulnerability and emotional devastation.
When people on the earth have cut you down
Addressing the impact of negative actions from people on Earth.
The sky's the only place to hide.
Suggesting a need for escape or refuge in the expansive sky.
And as I floated in the moonlit night
Describing a contemplative moment under the moonlight.
You arrived to take me home.
Introducing a rescuer figure who brings comfort or salvation.
I kissed your hand and I came back to life
Symbolic act of gratitude and rebirth, emphasizing the rescuer's importance.
And all the wrong became all right.
Transformation of negative experiences into positive outcomes through rescue.
In all of my dreams
Introduction of dreams as a recurring theme.
You rescue me
Emphasizing the rescuer's role in the dream world, suggesting reliability.
It always seems you rescue me.
Reiteration of the consistent rescue theme in dreams.
I was wandering down endless roads
Depicting a lost and aimless journey on undefined paths.
A fallen angel in the cold.
Describing a state of being lost and disconnected, akin to a fallen angel.
You appeared before me like a vision
Introducing a supernatural appearance, suggesting a positive turning point.
To whisper love I used to know.
Rekindling memories of love through a divine encounter.
So easily you gave to me secret promises
Highlighting the effortless sharing of intimate promises with mystical qualities.
Like only magic words can flow.
Emphasizing the magical and transformative nature of conveyed words.
In all of my dreams
Recurrence of the dream motif, reinforcing the significance of rescue.
You rescue me
Reiteration of the rescuer's consistent role in dreams.
It always seems you rescue me.
Emphasizing the reliability of being rescued in dreams.
