After a pinch of bad luck and poor timing, they found themselves off of their label (Columbia Records) and fighting for the right to release their record. In June 2006 they ran into Outlook Music in Denver, CO, who decided to release the CD. The overdue release was slated for early 2007. Their first single "Save Me" was available online October of 2006 and hit radio in the months thereafter.
In late 2009 the band released their second CD, "Souvenirs," on iTunes.
In February 2011, Autovein announced a name change. The band would now be known as Revolution One. Following the name change, the band unveiled a new video for "Suicides & Lullabies". On April 20, 2011 Revolution One joined Biffy Clyro for a show at The Double Door in Chicago.
Revolution One released the Lay Down Our Lives EP on May 3, 2011. 2011.
Save Me
Autovein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's getting worse
I would whisper sweet
But I can't find words
I could make you one
You could make me whole
Hey angel
I'm sinning
Beginning
Can you save me
You're doing
I'm trying
You're living
I'm dying
Can you save me
Take a look at me
And my senses blur
I can hardly see
And I've lost my nerve
I could make you one
You could make me whole
I close my eyes and realize
that the lyrics to "Save Me" by Autovein are about a person who is experiencing desperation and despair. The opening lines of "I can barely breathe / And it's getting worse" sets the tone for a hopeless situation where the singer has lost their ability to communicate with their loved one as they "can't find words." The plea for help becomes more fervent in the chorus, where the singer calls out to their loved one, asking them to save them. The lines "Hey angel / I'm sinning / My end is / Beginning" suggest that they are on the verge of collapsing, and they need help urgently. The song's structure is repetitive and builds up to the chorus, with the phrase "Can you save me" being repeated three times, emphasizing the singer's plea for help.
The chorus also contains a contrast between the singer's situation and that of their loved one, who is "living" while they are "dying." The bridge further emphasizes the singer's physical distress with the lines "And my senses blur / I can hardly see / And I've lost my nerve." The final verse again repeats the idea of the singer being able to make their loved one whole if only they can be saved. The closing line "I close my eyes and realize" suggests that the singer has given up and is resigned to their fate.
Overall, "Save Me" is a song about desperation and the need for salvation when one's life is falling apart. The lyrics offer an intimate and raw look into the singer's soul and struggle to hold on to their life.

Badass! Great song, great execution! Wish they’d have lasted! Truth be told, they give Foo Fighters a run for their money for sure! 👍
