In 2013 Jagwar Ma signed with record labels Mom+Pop (US) Marathon Artists (EU) and Future Classic (Australia) and released their debut album "Howlin". Howlin’ received high acclaim from music press like The NME, Pitchfork and the London Times as well as praise from several iconic figures and more contemporary artists Foals and The XX, who they went on to join on tour. Now based in the UK, Jagwar Ma are currently touring "Howlin" and have begun preparation for their Sophomore album.
Jagwar Ma are the producers of some quality electronic vibes that swim through the rough terrain of yesteryear, but warps them for modern senses. ”Come Save Me” is 60s bubblegum pop crystalized into tribal neon (much like TV Girl does) and features the vocals of Gabriel Winterfield (Ghostwood), additional production from Ewan Pearson and additional percussion from Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint). ”What Love” is a slow building trance that picks up substance along the way, but still continuing the hypnotic thump. Keep an eye/ear out for these dudes.
Come Save Me
Jagwar Ma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think you want me like I want you
So what do I've got to do to get around it?
What have I got to do to get around it?
I don't want a love like this
I don't want a love like this
Oh it's not what you want
Oh it's not what you want
Oh it's not what you want
Oh I feel
Come and save me
Come and save me
Come and save me
Come and save me
I don't think you want me like I want you
What have I got to do to get around it?
I don't want a love like this
I don't want a love like this
Oh its not what you want
Oh its not what you want
Oh its not what you want
Oh I feel
Come and save me
Save my life and get on the ground
Gonna save my life and get on the ground
The lyrics to Jagwar Ma's song "Come Save Me" are filled with yearning, frustration, and desperation for love. The repeating line "I don't think you want me like I want you" highlights the singer's uncertainty about their lover's feelings towards them. The line is then followed by the repeated question "What have I got to do to get around it?" which emphasizes the singer's confusion about how to bridge the gap between their desires and reality. The line "I don't want a love like this" is also repeated multiple times, indicating that the singer is unsatisfied with the current state of their relationship.
The chorus of the song is a plea to be saved, with the singer asking for their lover to come save them. The repetition of the phrase "Come and save me" highlights the singer's desperation and need for their lover to take action. However, it is unclear what kind of saving the singer is asking for.
The bridge of the song introduces a new element to the lyrics, with the lines "Save my life and get on the ground / Gonna save my life and get on the ground." This shift in tone and words seems to suggest that the singer is willing to do anything to save their relationship, even if it means completely surrendering themselves.
