Saved
Finding Faith in Desperation: Bonny Doon's 'Saved' Unveiled
Lyrics
I was helpless but hopeful waiting to be saved
Feeling powerless but optimistic, anticipating rescue.
I was humble and broken lying in my grave
Being modest and shattered, metaphorically in a difficult situation.
And they came
Refers to the arrival of someone or something.
They came
Repetition emphasizes their arrival or intervention.
They came too, I looked I saw
Describing the arrival of others, possibly related to salvation.
Are you a believer?
Prompting the listener to consider their belief system.
Are you a believer or not?
Posing a question about the listener's belief status.
I was saying nice things until I ran out
Speaking positively until resources or goodwill are exhausted.
I was hustling harder until the bottom fell out
Working hard until facing a significant setback.
And hold, hold, hold onto what you got
Encouraging to cling onto whatever one possesses despite challenges.
Are you a believer?
Reiterating the question of belief, possibly with increased emphasis.
Are you a believer or not?
Asking again about the listener's belief status.
Are you a believer?
Posing the belief question once more, creating a sense of persistence.
Are you a believer or not?
Reiterating the inquiry about the listener's belief.
Are you a believer?
Persistently asking about the listener's belief status.
Are you a believer or not?
Final repetition, possibly concluding the thematic exploration of belief.
