Save Myself
Ashe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

God damn
Hindsight 2020
Poured rain
All over my sunny
Someday
This will all be funny, mm

We were
Cocaine
Playing milk and honey
Dysfunctional
I was a junkie
Someday
This will all be funny, oh oh oh

I know everything worked out the way it's meant to be
But honestly

If I had the chance
I would take it back
Jumping off your sinking ship
'Stead of going down with it, oh
One day I'll be good
Right now I'm just mad
Over being so mature
If only I was never yours, oh

I could have
Saved myself
Time and lots of money
Could've saved myself, oh
I shouldn't blame myself
I kinda saw it coming
Could've saved myself
From you

Red flags
Tended to ignore them
White flag
Never sent it soaring
So hard to forget it
In the morning, no oh

I know everything worked out the way it's meant to be
But honestly

If I had the chance
I would take it back
Jumping off your sinking ship
'Stead of going down with it, oh
One day I'll be good
Right now I'm just mad
Over being so mature
If only I was never yours, oh

I could have
Saved myself
Time and lots of money
Could've saved myself, oh
I shouldn't blame myself
I kinda saw it coming
Could've saved myself
From you

I could have saved myself
From wasting half my twenties
Saved myself
From you

I could have
Saved myself
Time and lots of money
Could've saved myself, oh
I shouldn't blame myself
I kinda saw it coming




Could've saved myself
From you

Overall Meaning

Ashe's song "Save Myself" is a reflection of hindsight and regret within a past relationship. The first verse describes the destructive nature of the relationship with the metaphor "cocaine, playing milk and honey," which indicates the illusion of a beautiful and sweet partnership that has been tragically undermined by the presence of drugs. The chorus continues to express Ashe's regret of not seeing the warning signs in the relationship, which she describes as red flags, and not holding her partner accountable, white flag. Ashe dwells on this conflict between her current, mature self and her naive, younger self who was and supposed to save herself from the relationship that ultimately did not work out.


Ashe's repeated line "could've saved myself" highlights her realization that she could have saved herself from the wasted time, money, and energy that she invested into a a harmful relationship. The lyrics expound on the regret Ashe feels as well as that realization that it was all for a reason. The music is imbued with a sad, contemplative tone with the verses beginning with melancholy piano notes and the chorus transforming into a more hopeful semblance with the addition of drums and electric guitar. Ashe's vocals also capture the complex emotions and regret she feels as she navigates through the complexities of the past relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

God damn
Expressing frustration or anger


Hindsight 2020
Looking back, everything is clearer


Poured rain
A storm came


All over my sunny
Ruining something good


Someday
In the future


This will all be funny, mm
One day this will be amusing


We were
Referring to a past relationship


Cocaine
Drugs were involved


Playing milk and honey
Putting on a facade of happiness and prosperity


Dysfunctional
Not working well or properly


I was a junkie
Having an addiction


Someday
In the future


This will all be funny, oh oh oh
One day this will be amusing


I know everything worked out the way it's meant to be
Acknowledging things happen for a reason


But honestly
Being truthful


If I had the chance
If circumstances were different


I would take it back
Wishing to undo the past


Jumping off your sinking ship
Leaving a doomed situation


'Stead of going down with it, oh
Rather than staying and suffering


One day I'll be good
In the future things will be better


Right now I'm just mad
Presently feeling angry


Over being so mature
Regretting not standing up for oneself


If only I was never yours, oh
Wishing to never have been in a relationship


I could have
There was a possibility


Saved myself
Prevented harm or injury


Time and lots of money
Resources that were wasted


I shouldn't blame myself
Not entirely at fault


I kinda saw it coming
Had some foresight


From you
Preventing harm from the person being addressed


Red flags
Warning signs


Tended to ignore them
Choosing to not acknowledge the warning signs


White flag
Symbol of surrender or defeat


Never sent it soaring
Not admitting defeat or giving up


So hard to forget it
Difficult to move on from the relationship


In the morning, no oh
Starting a new day with lingering thoughts


I could have saved myself
Prevented harm or injury


From wasting half my twenties
Avoiding regrets from past mistakes


From you
Preventing harm from the person being addressed

[Verse 1]
God damn, hindsight 2020

Oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I know everything worked out
The way it's meant to be
But honestly

[Chorus]
If I had the chance (Chance)
I would take it back (Back)
Jumping off your sinking ship
'Stead of going down with it, oh
One day, I'll be good (Good)

Coulda saved myself from you
[Verse 2]
Red flags, tended to ignore them
White flag, never sent it soaring
So hard to forget it in the morning
No, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I know everything worked out
The way it's meant to be
But honestly

[Chorus]
If I had the chance (Chance)
I would take it back (Back)
Jumping off your sinking ship

Saved myself (Oh)

From wasting half my twenties
Saved myself from you
