Rescue me (Original Song) by Luke Caveman

Lyrics

rescue me
i dont care where you take me to
rescue me
i lost my arms and legs you see

i don't know if it's true
when i say i'd do the same for you
but the truth is simple
there's no one else i see to

rescue me
i don't care where you take me to
rescue me
i lost my gravity you see

if you still long
for something better
then carry on,
carry on you shall be free

but if those broken bits you see
still seem worth to you
then hear my humble plea

See i gave up long ago
started running out slow
then the brakes hit in
and i lost my spin

I've been lying here for ages
an noone seems to care
for there's a million other wrecks like me
on roadsides everywhere
they're eyes all read the same lines:
"is there anyone out there to

rescue me
i dont care where you take me to
rescue me
i lost my everything you see"

I want to write a few lines concerning this song.
One of the comments on my coverversions suggested that I should maybe cover "God's gonna cut you down" by Johnny Cash, so i had a look at the vid on youtube, and in the beginning a man says "Johnny Cash wore black 'cause he identified with the poor and the downtrodden".

That made me think. What about myself? Who do i identify with as an artist or a person? I mean of course most of us will feel with the poor or downtrodden, that is if there's still a heart beating in our breast!
But me, for example, i was never poor. I am not rich either and i never posessed more money than what would last for a few months. But i never had to worry about my existence.

Then what is it for me? What or who do I identify with?

When i was a child i spent quite some time in hospitals for my bones weren't working the way they were supposed to work. Nothing that couldn`t be fixed, but i think that time left a strong impression on me. I was in a room with other kids of my age, everyone with broken or somehow malfunctional bones. One of them couldn't move more than his head. We all got along somehow and played just like other kids in our own way, but there was always the yearning of everybody there to be out there and move free. To be like normal kids.

Just recently i saw a documentary about players of my favourite soccer club about them visiting a local hospital for children. Some of the kids had severe diseases, but their sports heroes visiting meant the world to them. And every time i see a report about children in hospital it touches me so much.

Of course they have their parents visiting them and most of the staff are nice, but then on the other side, especially at night, they are alone. And that is something no human being should be, especially not children.

And today i guess, thinking about all that i found out who identify with as a writer. With all those who are like the little friends of mine from that hospital room i was in as a child, at night, when the visitors are gone and the lights are off:

Alone and in a minor or major way broken.

When i look back on my writing for the last ten years, it was basically always about that.

And as i was thinking about all that i remembered a song that i started working on a few weeks ago and that i was never able to finish. And in that flow of thoughts, one more time inspired by the Late, Great Johnny Cash i managed to finish it.

So this song is for all out there who consider themselves alone or broken or both at the same time, as i wish that if someone has the need to say "rescue me" he may find the strength and courage to state that appeal. Two friends, family, colleques, doctors or God. And before all, to him- or herself.

I wasn't sure if i should post this huge comment in this info. But then again i thought: Well, if someone doesnt want to read it, then he can just close the info window )))

All the best from

Luke
