Save Me
Yearning Shadows: Save Me's Tale of Desperation and Unanswered Calls
Lyrics
Light through the window leaves a cross on my forehead
Light shining through the window creates a cross-shaped shadow on my forehead.
2 AM but my mind’s not bored yet
It's late at night (2 AM), but I'm still wide awake and not feeling bored.
Tracing my finger on an empty wall
I'm absentmindedly running my finger along an empty wall.
Hopelessly hoping that you would call
I'm desperately hoping that you would call me.
Play with my necklace as it falls off my nightstand
I'm playing with my necklace, letting it fall off my nightstand.
Got that song in my head that you can’t stand
I have a song stuck in my head that you dislike.
Lay back down on the empty floor
I lie back down on the empty floor.
Sit and wonder what this pain was for
I'm contemplating and questioning the purpose or reason for this pain.
Oh
A sigh or an expression of frustration.
I just can’t imagine
I can't comprehend or envision.
How we let this happen
How did we allow this situation to occur?
How’d I let this happen
How did I personally let this happen?
What if I’ve been waiting for something to save me
I might have been anticipating something to rescue me from my situation.
But it never comes, oh it never comes
However, that expected help never arrives.
What if I’ve been chasing the one thing that breaks me
Perhaps I've been pursuing something that eventually causes my downfall.
Yeah it always does, and I know it does
And indeed, it consistently leads to my breakdown.
Who’s gonna save me, who’s gonna save me if I can’t
Who will rescue me if I can't save myself?
Who’s gonna save me, who’s gonna save me if I can’t
Repeated questioning of who will rescue me if I'm unable to do so myself.
I’m too deep in this fantasy
I'm deeply engrossed in an unrealistic or overly hopeful idea.
Still waiting on you to come rescue me
I'm still waiting for you to come and save me from this situation.
I’m trying to be cool but I’m incomplete
I'm trying to appear composed, but I feel incomplete.
You say I did nothing but I don’t believe you
You claim I did nothing, but I disagree with your perspective.
I just can’t imagine
I can't understand.
Why I let this happen
Why did I allow this situation to unfold in this way?
Why’d we let this happen
Why did we collectively allow this situation to unfold?
What if I’ve been waiting for something to save me
Maybe I've been expecting some form of rescue.
But it never comes, oh it never comes
But that anticipated help never materializes.
What if I’ve been chasing the one thing that breaks me
Perhaps I've been pursuing something that consistently brings me to my breaking point.
Yeah it always does, and I know it does
And indeed, it always leads to my breakdown.
Who’s gonna save me, who’s gonna save me if I can’t
Who will rescue me if I can't save myself?
Who’s gonna save me, who’s gonna save me if I can’t
Repeated questioning of who will rescue me if I'm unable to do so myself.
Oh let me go
Repetition of the plea to be released or let go because the individual feels unable to handle the situation.
Oh let me go
-Oh let me go
-‘Cause I can’t
-Oh let me go
-Just let me go
-Oh let me go
-‘Cause I can’t
-Light through the window leaves a cross on my forehead
Repeated lines that emphasize the late hour and the individual's mental state.
2 AM but my mind’s not bored yet, I’m not bored yet
-What if I’ve been waiting for something to save me
Repetition of previous verses, reinforcing the themes of longing for salvation and questioning who will save the individual from their plight.
But it never comes, oh it never comes
-What if I’ve been chasing the one thing that breaks me
-Yeah it always does, and I know it does
-Who’s gonna save me, who’s gonna save me if I can’t
-Who’s gonna save me, who’s gonna save me if I can’t
