It Ain't Gonna Save Me
Desperate Struggles: Battling Inner Demons
Lyrics
It ain't gonna save me
There's no salvation for me
It ain't gonna save me, no how
No chance of being saved, no matter what
It ain't gonna save me
Reinforcement of the lack of salvation
It ain't gonna save me, no how
Emphasizing the absence of any saving grace
It ain't gonna save me
Repeated assertion of the impossibility of being saved
It ain't gonna save me, no how
Reiteration of the futility of salvation
It ain't gonna save me
Continued emphasis on the inability to be saved
It ain't gonna save me, no how
Reaffirmation that there's no possibility of salvation
I took a walk the other day and thought about how things used to be
Reflecting on the past, reminiscing about how things were
And then a cloud came into sky it shed on me
A moment of sadness or revelation ('shed on me') caused by a cloud or a realization
And I don't know why, ever since that day I've never been the same
An event changed the narrator profoundly
Tired and lonely with no one to blame
Feeling fatigued and isolated without anyone to hold responsible
And in this bedroom is where I sit cause I don't really don't give a shit
Expressing apathy, not caring about current circumstances
It ain't gonna save me
Repetition of the absence of salvation
It ain't gonna save me, no how
Emphasizing the impossibility of being saved
It ain't gonna save me
Continued assertion of the lack of salvation
It ain't gonna save me, no how
Reiteration of the inability to be saved
My negativity it takes a toll
Negativity is taking a toll on the narrator
It uses me just like a bone
Negativity consumes and controls the narrator
It scares away the things I love
Negativity drives away things the narrator loves
It keeps its fight and push at shows,
Negativity persists even in public settings ('push at shows')
Ever since that night I've never been the same
Something changed the narrator since a particular night
Tired and lonely with no one to blame
Feeling exhausted and isolated without blaming anyone
And in this bedroom is where I sit
Staying in a room, possibly withdrawn or depressed
Cause I don't really don't give a shit
Expressing a lack of concern or care
It ain't gonna save me
Reinforcement of the absence of salvation
It ain't gonna save me, no how
Emphasizing the impossibility of being saved
It ain't gonna save me
Continued assertion of the lack of salvation
It ain't gonna save me, no how
Reiteration of the inability to be saved
It ain't gonna save me
Repetition emphasizing the absence of salvation
It ain't gonna save me, no how
Reaffirmation of the impossibility of being saved
It ain't gonna save me
Continued assertion of the lack of salvation
It ain't gonna save me, no how
Emphasizing the inability to be saved
All is lost there is no hope, all is lost you can go home,
A sense of despair and hopelessness, no possibility of rescue
All is lost there is no hope for me.
Declaring complete loss and hopelessness
All is lost there is no hope, all is lost you can go home,
Reiteration of total loss and lack of hope
All is lost there is no hope for me.
Absence of any possibility of hope for the narrator
All is lost there is no hope, all is lost you can go home,
Reaffirmation of complete loss and hopelessness
All is lost there is no hope for me.
No hope remaining for the narrator
All is lost there is no hope, all is lost you can go home,
Emphasizing the absence of hope and the inevitability of loss
All is lost there is no hope for me.
No hope exists for the narrator
For me
The finality of the hopelessness, particularly for the narrator
