Save Yourself
Unveiling Shadows: Embrace Redemption in Jonny Lang's 'Save Yourself'
Lyrics
You got a secret under the table
You have a hidden secret that is kept confidential.
Nobody knows it but you
Only you are aware of this secret; it's not known to others.
Never a problem here on the outside
Externally, there don't seem to be any issues or challenges.
You're good at disguising the truth
You are skilled at concealing the reality or the true nature of things.
After you wake up out of the nightmare
After experiencing a troubling situation, how do you eliminate the fear within?
How do you cast out the fear inside
Dealing with the fear that arises after waking from a nightmare.
All alone there you stand
Isolated and standing alone, reaching out for support.
Reaching out for someone's hand
Seeking someone's hand for assistance.
Come with me if you want to save yourself
Invitation to join for self-preservation and protection.
Where is the good life you always dreamed of
Questioning the whereabouts of the fulfilling life you once envisioned.
Where is the faith you once had
Wondering about the faith or belief system that was once strong.
Sooner than later hope will be useless
Expecting hope to become ineffective in the near future.
Pushing you back where you began
Forcing you back to the starting point or where you began.
All alone there you stand
Standing alone and hesitating; an offer to take a helping hand.
Won't you let me take your hand
Encouraging acceptance of assistance to preserve oneself.
Come with me if you want to save yourself
A repeated invitation to join for self-preservation.
DOn't let the past haunt your mind
Advising not to let past experiences continue to trouble the mind.
You should leave it all behind
Suggesting leaving behind all past burdens and experiences.
Come with me if you want to save yourself
Reiterating the invitation to join for self-saving purposes.
There's something in the way
Sensing an obstruction or challenge in the path.
It's gotten into you
Something has influenced or affected you.
You've learned to love the chains
You've developed an attachment to constraints or limitations.
Through the needle's eye can you escape
Can you break free through a narrow passage or escape?
All alone there you stand
Standing alone once again, appealing for support.
Won't you let me take your hand
Requesting permission to provide assistance.
Come with me if you want to save yourself
Repetition of the invitation to join for self-preservation.
Trust your heart not your mind
Emphasizing the importance of trusting the heart over the mind.
Cause you're running out of time
Time is running out; act now to save yourself.
Come with me if you want to save yourself
Reiteration of the invitation to join for self-saving purposes.
