Save Yourself
Save Yourself: A Journey of Self-Redemption in Will Young's Song
Lyrics
Couldn't stand the city
Expressing dislike or discomfort with city life
I had to get away
Feeling the need to escape from the city
Drive myself down to the coast
Choosing to drive to the coast for a short retreat
For a couple of days
Planning to spend a couple of days away
Love to take you with me
Expressing a desire to bring someone along
But I'm sure you'd never come
Doubting the other person's willingness to come
Don't know how you stay alive
Questioning how someone can endure life without sunshine
Without seeing the sun
Observing a negative change in the person
Look what you've become
Reflecting on the transformation of the person
Save yourself, just yourself
Advising to prioritize self-preservation
Don't think about no-one else
Emphasizing the importance of self-focus
Save yourself, just yourself
Reiterating the need to save oneself
I can't help you
Expressing inability to assist someone else
Let them go, let them go
Encouraging the person to let go of others
You're gonna get through alone
Assuring that they will overcome challenges alone
Save yourself, just yourself
Repeating the importance of self-saving
Please
Pleading for self-preservation
Said, "He was a junkie"
Referring to someone as a drug addict
Everybody got involved
Highlighting widespread involvement due to concern
'Cause they're only trying to help
Indicating resistance to advice or guidance
You would not be told
Emphasizing the person's refusal to listen
Wake up every morning
Attempting to show what is good every morning
Try to show you what is good
Describing efforts to guide the person positively
But on the sly you go and try
Noticing secretive behavior and experimentation
Anything you could
Describing the person's attempts at anything available
How's that for gratitude?
Expressing frustration with lack of gratitude
Save yourself, just yourself
Reiterating the importance of self-preservation
Don't think about no-one else
Advising against concern for others
Save yourself, just yourself
Reiterating the need to save oneself
I can't help you
Expressing inability to offer assistance
You let them go, let them go
Encouraging detachment from others
You're gonna get through alone
Assuring that one will overcome challenges alone
Save yourself, just yourself
Reiterating the importance of self-saving
Save yourself, just yourself
Emphasizing the sole responsibility for self-preservation
You think about no-one else
Indicating exclusive focus on oneself
Save yourself, just yourself
Reiterating the need to save oneself
I can't help you
Expressing inability to provide assistance
You gotta save yourself, no no no
Stressing the importance of self-saving
You think about no-one else
Indicating exclusive focus on oneself
Save yourself, just yourself
Reiterating the need to save oneself
I can't, I can't, I can't
Expressing inability to assist emphatically
