My Saving Grace
Amazing Device Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm weakening
And I don't know how much more of this world I can stand

Inject into me
Flowing through my blood stream

Now I can't go out in the condition that I'm in
With my eyes rolled back and my heart pounding

The hallucinations start
And their leaving their marks, your needles in my arms

Kill the ache inside of me
For the sake of sanity
My amphetamines
(Now I can't go out in the condition that I'm in)
Kill this craving for my saving grace

Hemorrhaging
The blood is rushing
I'm alittle dizzy, I'm alittle dizzy now
I can't go out in the condition that I'm in
With my eyes rolled back and my heart pounding
The hallucinations start
And their leaving their marks
Your needles in my arms

Kill the ache inside of me
For the sake of sanity
My amphetamines
(Now I can't go out in the condition that I'm in)
Kill this craving for my saving grace

Your soul is the drug
It rolls of the tongue

It rolls off the tongue

Just like feeling a familiar touch a junkie just can't get enough
A fiend I guess will always be a fiend.

Kill the ache inside of me
For the sake of sanity
My amphetamines
(Now I can't go out in the condition that I'm in)
Kill this craving for my saving grace

My Saving Grace.
It rolls off of the tongue.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Amazing Device's song My Saving Grace speak to the struggles of addiction and dependence on a substance to alleviate pain or find a sense of peace. The opening lines, "I'm weakening and I don't know how much more of this world I can stand," highlight the singer's desperation and exhaustion with life. They turn to an unknown substance that is injected into them and flows through their bloodstream, likely referring to drugs like heroin or cocaine. The singer becomes aware of the danger of their drug use, as they cannot go out in public due to the physical effects on their body and the hallucinations that come with the high.

The second verse mentions hemorrhaging and dizziness, suggesting that the singer is aware of the physical harm that their substance abuse is causing. The chorus then repeats the lines "kill the ache inside of me for the sake of sanity, my amphetamines kill this craving for my saving grace," emphasizing the temporary relief that the drug provides while acknowledging the deadly consequences it brings. The line "Your soul is the drug, it rolls off the tongue," could suggest that the singer is personifying the drug as a lover or an escape, something they crave deeply.

The final line of the song repeats the title, "My Saving Grace, it rolls off of the tongue," drawing attention to the way in which the drug is viewed as a savior or source of salvation, even though it is leading them down a dangerous path.
