Save Me
Finding Redemption Amidst Desolation: Enuff Z'nuff's 'Save Me' Essence
Lyrics
Save Me Help!
Expression of a desperate plea for help.
Time don't give us time, now,
Time is running out or is not on their side.
And love don't give us love, now.
Love is lacking or not providing support.
Our peace has fallen to pieces,
Harmony or tranquility has disintegrated.
And nothing can release us.
A sense of being trapped with no relief in sight.
I feel I want my mother,
An emotional desire for maternal comfort.
But I've just got my brother.
Only the presence of a brother, not the sought-after mother.
But he's no brother of mine,
Disassociation from the brother, suggesting a strained relationship.
He's stealing all my sunshine.
Brother is causing distress, possibly overshadowing positivity ("sunshine").
Save,
Reiteration of the urgent need for help.
I've got to save my life.
The imperative to save one's own life.
I've got to save,
Repetition emphasizing the urgency of saving.
Save my life.
Reiteration of the need to save one's life.
My movie's got a soundtrack,
Mention of a personal "movie" with a soundtrack, perhaps symbolic of life events.
But only in my phone jack.
Soundtrack is confined to a phone jack, suggesting personal isolation.
And no one's gonna see it,
Recognition that personal achievements may go unnoticed.
It's just my luck I'd be in it.
Expression of misfortune related to being part of the mentioned movie.
I'm looking in the mirror,
Self-reflection in a mirror, indicating introspection.
And things are looking clearer.
Clarity in self-perception and understanding.
I'm throwing it away now.
Discarding something, possibly negative or burdensome.
I'm blowing every day now.
Embracing a carefree or reckless attitude.
Repeat Chorus.
Repetition of the urgent need for saving life (Chorus).
I'm feeling empty-hearted.
Feeling emotionally void and incomplete.
I miss my dear departed,
Mourning the loss of a loved one.
And hope don't bring me hope, now,
Hope is not providing comfort or optimism.
But the dope still brings me dope.
Dependence on substances for solace despite the lack of hope.
