Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Savior" by Skillet speak to a relationship that is defined by control and obsession. The song is directed towards the person who is being haunted by the singer. The chorus suggests that the singer will be the listener's savior and that everything will crash and break, but they will still be there to help them through it. The verses reference the idea of surrendering one's love and redefining a deophobic mind. It suggests that the listener is in a bad place in their life and that the only way out is to rely on the singer.

The concept of the song is not a positive one, as it portrays a relationship that is based on control and the need for someone to be saved. The singer is almost portraying themselves as a villain, claiming to have the eyes inside that will always be watching and be present to help. This song can be interpreted as a warning to be aware of the signs of control in relationships and not to rely on someone else to fix your problems.
