Rut Lyrics

Don't give up on me
'Cause I'm just in a rut
I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up

Can't keep my mind off of every little wrong
I see the mouths are open but I can't hear the song
I've done my best to fill 'em
But the cracks are starting to spread
Hey, I won't blame you baby
Go on, turn your head

But don't give up on me
'Cause I'm just in a rut
I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up

I can't keep pretending this next stop isn't mine
The truth is on the table, and someone's gotta sign
I've done my best defending
But the punches are starting to land
I'm sliding into something
You won't understand

Don't give up on me
'Cause I'm just in a rut
I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up

But don't give up on me
'Cause I'm just in a rut
I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up

So I'm handing you a memory
I hope you understand
That steadily reminds you
Of who I really am

This city's always breathing
I wish that it would die
The king rags and the bachelors
The fever for the velvet rope
The money from my mother's men
I'm not like her, you're not like them

I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb

Oh but don't you give up on me (don't you give up, don't you give up)
Don't you give up on me (don't you give up, don't you give up)
Don't you give up on me (I'll climb and I'll climb)
Don't you give up on me (I'll climb and I'll climb)

What is the Meaning of Rut?

In this poignant narrative, The Killers delve into the struggles of persistence amidst personal turmoil. The lyrics chronicle the internal battle of feeling stuck ("I'm just in a rut") while desperately striving for progress ("I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up"). The protagonist’s plea not to be abandoned underscores the desire for patience and understanding from loved ones. The imagery of "cracks starting to spread" and "punches starting to land" symbolizes the creeping inevitability of emotional and mental challenges. Despite the negativity enveloping them ("this city's always breathing, I wish that it would die"), there's a persistent resolve to keep climbing. The recurring assertion and hope for empathetic recognition serve as a testament to human resilience and the unyielding spirit in the face of adversity.
