Save Yourself
Saving Myself: Unveiling the Depths of Desire and Disillusionment
Lyrics
I want every town, I need you to know
The speaker desires to explore various places and wants someone to acknowledge this.
There's nothing left to sell me, I'm broke
The speaker feels emotionally depleted and incapable of being persuaded or convinced further.
I just want these holes for when I try to run
The speaker desires protection or support when attempting to escape or avoid something.
For no reason, or so I'm told
There seems to be no apparent cause for the action, at least according to what the speaker has been told.
Don't you think I know you're only trying to save yourself
The speaker is aware that the other person is acting selfishly to safeguard themselves.
Don't you think I know you're only trying to save yourself
-Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
An emotional expression, possibly emphasizing feelings.
Ancient in one long, incidental month
A long period of time is portrayed, marked by significance and change.
You had a bad day, I want home
The other person had a difficult day and wants comfort or familiarity.
You still make me smile, as much as I am reeling
Despite feeling overwhelmed, the other person's presence brings joy.
It has been a while, please don't make me show I'm not your gal
It's been a while since the speaker expressed vulnerability and doesn’t want to reveal it now.
Don't you think I know you're only trying to save yourself
Reiteration of the awareness that the other person is primarily concerned with self-preservation, similar to others.
Don't you think I know you're only trying to save yourself
-Just like everyone else
-Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Continued emotional emphasis, possibly indicating distress or intensity of feelings.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
-Try and make me feel like I'm your number one
The speaker wants to be a priority to the other person among others.
Every other one, well, shit, get real
Realization that the other person needs to acknowledge reality and stop pretending.
Know you're balding still, you're older than you feel
Recognizing aging and the difference between one's physical and emotional state.
Think a little harder, a little modest and humble be
Encouraging the other person to think more deeply and be more modest and humble.
I won't wait around
The speaker won't wait around for the other person's change or realization.
Don't you think I know you're only trying to save yourself
Reiteration of the understanding that the other person's actions are primarily self-serving, similar to others.
Don't you think I know you're only trying to save yourself
-Just like everyone else
-You're just like everyone else
Reiteration emphasizing the similarity of the other person's behavior to everyone else's.
You're just like everyone else
-You're just like everyone else
