[Verse] A long time ago I found a baby rabbit That the cat brought in She had chewed on it Hanging from her teeth Sucking punctures Stains the fur Where it bleeds Fit in my hand Its heart it beat so quickly underneath Line a box With a blanket Put in lettuce Find a top for it Couldn't set it down Not for a minute [?] Nothing in it [Chorus] Come on, never be afraid Of cats and dogs and cars 'Cause we can build a shelter A place to keep you warm And move out of your hole Live inside my home Come on little bunny I'll try to keep it straight I know that choking is not affection If you would only breathe again We'd be home [Chorus] Comе on, never be afraid Of cats and dogs and cars 'Causе we can build a shelter A place to keep you warm And move out of your hole Live inside my home Come on little bunny I'll try to keep it straight I know that choking is not affection If you would only breathe again We'd be home [Bridge] I made such plans I put us there In fields of green I'd take such care If you hadn't slowly cooled in my hands Began to snow As the baby rabbit Lay in the ground Like it never happened Under the clover Under the snow Maybe it's not so cold

Meaning of "Rabbit" by Goldcard
The lyrics paint a stark, intimate picture of a foundling's fragile existence. The opening verse immediately grounds us in a brutal scene: a baby rabbit, mauled and bleeding, discovered after a cat's attack. The narrator's immediate, desperate attempt to nurture it is palpable, evidenced by the careful lining of a box and the constant need to hold the tiny creature. This intense focus on the rabbit's rapid heartbeat and the narrator's inability to 'set it down' highlights the precariousness of its life and the overwhelming sense of responsibility felt.
