She was born on June 14, 1995 in Portland, Oregon and attended school in the Portland metropolitan area. She first became interested in songwriting at age 14, in part inspired by her older brother, also a musician. Different in attitude and appearance from many of the other female students, she had a difficult go of it socially and had to change high schools.
Savior, known then by her birth name, first achieved public attention in September 2012 when as a 17-year-old her rendition of "Big Jet Plane" was spotted on YouTube by Courtney Love, who said "This girl is gonna be huge!". By April 2013, she had done a little modeling for Erin Fetherston and said she hoped her first album would be out soon. She graduated from high school in June 2013.
Can't Help Myself
Alexandra Savior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could sense it from a mile away
He wants a bit of this sweet melancholy and
He can get it any time of day
'Cause nothing else can satisfy him
Oh, oh, I can't help myself
Something comes over me
Light dims as he walks my way
I've been running for a reason I could never retain
Sweet lips like pink lemonade
When he's feeling generous he's gonna give me a taste
'Cause nothing else can satisfy me
Oh, oh, I can't help myself
Something comes over me
Baby, whenever you are around
Oh, oh, I can't help myself
Something comes over me
Baby, whenever you are around
Oh, oh, I can't help myself
Something grabs hold of me
Baby, whenever you are around
The lyrics of Alexandra Savior's song "Can't Help Myself" have a bittersweet and melancholic undertone evident from the first lines. The singer of the song is aware of her partner's desire to kiss her, and she understands how they both crave that sweet melancholy that they can't resist. The singer's own desire for her partner comes across as an addiction that she can't control. She knows that nothing else can fulfill her as much as his presence can, and she doesn't seem to have any qualms about being caught in his web.
The second verse adds another layer to the emotional complexities of the song. The singer feels consumed by the mere presence of her partner, and she describes how everything else fades into the background as he approaches her. Running is a common thread in the song, and the singer seems to suggest that she's been fleeing from something that she can't put her finger on. Her partner's lips are described as "pink lemonade," and it seems to be a rare treat when he shares them with her. Once again, the singer is lost in her desire and states that she can't help herself.
Overall, "Can't Help Myself" is a song that captures a sense of longing, addiction, and surrender. The singer is well aware of the hold her partner has over her, and she doesn't seem to want to let go of the feeling. The song creates a vivid picture of a relationship that is both exhilarating and risky, and the audience can feel the tension contained within the lyrics.
