Atomic Rooster Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Save Me, Save Me, Save Me, Save Me.
Wake Up In The Night, Stare Into The Dark.
You Can Feel Your Fear,Tearing At Your Heart.
Trying To Lock Your Door,There Is No Escape.
I'll Be Watching You,Every Move You Make.

Someone Please, Please Save Me.
No One Will Save You - They Won't Try.
Someone Please, Please Help Me.
Everyone's Lonely When They Die,
Everyone's Lonely When They Die.

No One In The World Will Want You - Save Me!
No One In The World Will Need You - Save Me!
No One In The World Will Love You - Save Me!
No One In The World Will Miss You - Save Me!

Walking Down The Street, Footsteps Close Behind.
Dare Not Turn Your Head, Don't Know What You'll Find.
Trying To Shout For Help, Your Words Turn To Dust.
Looking For A Friend, No One You Can Trust.

Someone Please, Please Save Me.
No One Will Save You, They Won't Try.
Someone Please, Please Help Me.
Everyone's Lonely When They Die,
Everyone's Lonely When They Die.

No One In The World Will Want You - Save Me!
No One In The World Will Need You - Save Me!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Atomic Rooster's song "Friday 13th" paint a chilling picture of fear and helplessness. The singer wakes up in the night, staring into the dark and feeling fear tearing at their heart. They try to lock their door, but there is no escape as they are being watched every move they make. The singer pleads for someone to save and help them, but no one seems to care. Their fear continues to grow as footsteps close behind them and they dare not even turn their head. They shout for help, but no one listens, and they are left feeling alone and hopeless.


The song captures the essence of paranoia and isolation, feelings that can be intensified on a Friday the 13th, a day often associated with bad luck and superstition. The repetition of "save me" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's desperation for help, but their pleas seem to fall on deaf ears. This sense of abandonment is further reinforced by the repeated refrain "no one in the world will want you, need you, love you, or miss you."


Overall, "Friday 13th" is a haunting and unsettling song that delves into the darker aspects of the human psyche. It serves as a reminder that we all have moments of vulnerability and fear, and that sometimes we need others to help us overcome them.

Save me, save me, save me, save me.
Wake up in the night, stare into the dark.
You can feel your fear,tearing at your heart.
Trying to lock your door,there is no escape.
I'll be watching you,every move you make.
Someone please, please save me.
No one will save you - they won't try.
Someone please, please help me.
Everyone's lonely when they die,
Everyone's lonely when they die.

No one in the world will want you - save me!
No one in the world will need you - save me!
No one in the world will love you - save me!
No one in the world will miss you - save me!

Walking down the street, footsteps close behind.
Dare not turn your head, don't know what you'll find.
Trying to shout for help, your words turn to dust.
Looking for a friend, no one you can trust.
Someone please, please save me.
No one will save you, they won't try.
Someone please, please help me.
Everyone's lonely when they die,
Everyone's lonely when they die.

No one in the world will want you - save me!
No one in the world will need you - save me!
No one in the world will love you - save me!

Like a Keith Emerson, though more blues oriented.

I love Vincent. An ignored great musician...

@massimogallazzi

Simply fantastic

@gelsol

Big fan of the Nick Graham version of the first album. I love the John Cann stuff too, but Graham had a cool growl to his voice. I like his stuff in Skin Alley, too.

@grifftrain

Heavy, Heavy band. very underrated, but i understand they are not for everyone. They were hard to classify, which is why I liked them. They had elements of heavy metal, rhythm and blues, funk, rock, prog, and everthing in between

@alondathomas293

Only reason I even heard about this band was because Crane and Palmer (the organist and drummer) used to be in The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, and they formed this band after they left that previous band. Checking them out now.

@matthewking8944
