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 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

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. The line "there's nothing left to lose, there's nothing left to prove" talks about how the person has reached their lowest point and has nothing else to lose. They need to let go of their fears and surrender their love to find a way out.

"Save Me"
I got a candle
And I've got a spoon
I live in a hallway with no doors
And no rooms
Under a windowsill
They all were found
A touch of concrete within the doorway
Without a sound
Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From my blasphemy in my wasteland
How did I get here
And what went wrong
Couldn't handle forgiveness
Now I'm far beyond gone
I can hardly remember
The look of my own eyes
How can I love this a life so dishonest
It made me compromise
Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From my blasphemy in my wasteland
Jump in the water
Jump in with me
Jump on the altar
Lay down with me
The hardest question to answer
Is why
Why
Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From my blasphemy in my wasteland
Someone save me
Someone save me
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
Please don't erase me

When I was deep in my addiction, I’d sit in my car listening to Shinedown’s “Save Me” and sob. I saw no way out. I just celebrated 14 years clean. I come back to listen to this song from time to time just to remind myself of where I came from and just to be grateful. This song did save me in my worst times and I never forget that.
