Discover the story of the song > To the Rescue – The Divine Comedy

The lyrics are about someone (the protagonist) who is tired of all the bad things that happen in the world - heartbreak, tragedies, and crimes - and decides to take matters into their own hands. They put on their armor and prepare their excuses because they know no one else will fix things. They are willing to go to great lengths, even risking their life, to come to the rescue of those who need help, even if the government or the world won't understand. The protagonist also mentions their partner, who is a vigilante like them, and how proud they are of each other.
