►Skillet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am the one who's haunting you
I am the eyes inside of you
Stare back at you
There's nothing left to lose
There's nothing left to prove
Surrender your love
What you got
What you want
What you need
Gonna be your savior
Everything's gonna crash and break
But I know, yeah, I know
What you got
What you want
What you need
Gonna be your savior
Everything's gonna crash and break
Your savior
It's time to redefine
Your deophobic mind
Don't hesitate, no escape
From secrets on the inside
There's nothing left to lose
There's nothing left to prove
Surrender your love
It's all you can do, yeah
What you got
What you want
What you need
Gonna be your savior
Everything's gonna crash and break
But I know, yeah, I know
What you got
What you want
What you need
Gonna be your savior
Everything's gonna crash and break
Your savior
I am the eyes inside
Staring back at you
Staring back at you
You need, you need me, yeah
What you want
What you need
Everything's gonna crash and break
What you got
What you need
Everything's gonna crash and break
What you got
What you want
What you need
Gonna be your savior
Everything's gonna crash and break
But I know, yeah, I know

Gonna be your savior
Everything's gonna crash and break
Your savior
I'm watching you
Cause you need me
Yeah, yeah, cause you need me

The lyrics of Skillet's "Savior" address the inner demons and fears that haunt a person's mind. The song talks about surrendering oneself to someone who can be their savior, the one who's haunting them. The line "I am the eyes inside of you" talks about how the person's fears and inner demons are watching them from within, and they need to find a way to surrender their love and overcome their fears.
The chorus repeats the lines "What you got, What you want, What you need, Gonna be your savior" multiple times, emphasizing the need for someone to rescue them from their fears and anxieties. The song encourages the listener to "redefine your deophobic mind," meaning that they need to change their mindset of fearing their inner demons and turn towards a more positive outlook.

It kills me not to know this
But I've all but just forgotten
What the colour of her eyes were
And her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down
A single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face
That this world has forgotten
There is no reconciliation
That will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present
To drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true
When I'm constantly failing you
Walls that we just can't break through
Until we disappear
So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
That's when she said
"I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her, "I love you girl
But I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"
And the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?
So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
That's when she said
"I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her, "I love you girl
But I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"
One thousand miles away
There's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice
This world is too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no
So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
That's when she said
"I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her, "I love you girl
But I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no
@-BestRockSongs
This is definitely one of the best songs ever written.
2024, we all know we’re still listening to this classic
@psychospartan3007

@TheRileyg98
Saw them on the 21st opening for Blink-182, what a fucking show they put on
@-BestRockSongs
I was 13 years old when this came out. The perfect song for a teenager with her first crush. Now 40 years I'm about to marry that same crush after being apart a lifetime. God does work in mysterious ways.

Want to know somethin really messed up? These types of songs are my guilty pleasures away from my metalcore...I thought Offspring did this song until a year ago. I was so ashamed.
