In July 2007, drummer Matt C. left Biomechanical, because of 'musical differences'. He was then replaced by Jonno Lodge, a young musician from Doncaster. A few weeks later, not long before the planned release of their third album, Cannibalised, Jamie Hunt, Chris Webb and Jon Collins also left the band due to conflicts with Mainman/Singer John K. They were promptly replaced by Gus Drax, Chris Van Hayden and Adrian Lambert.
Matt C. and Chris Webb have since formed a new band (SOLSIKK) and Jamie Hunt is currently working with Pin (ex-Sikth) and the legendary Thomas Lang in a project called Within The Void.
The current band members are:
John K - vocals
Jonno Lodge - drums & percussion
Chris Van Hayden - guitar
Adrian Lambert - bass
Save Me
Biomechanical Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Empty spaces
all filled
with nothing but my fears
Silence in me
reflects
my life, my destiny
I can't
go through this dream again
Hear my calling
Straight through the void of my soul
(Verse 2:)
I am there
I feel - I hear
sounds of abysmal fear
shutting my eyes won't help
I see straight through my flesh
Reflect
Deflect
Infect the fragments of my past
Floating around me
Is the life I've never had
(Chorus:):
Save me from this living nightmare
Save me from a life without an end
Hate me for whatever hurts you
But please don't let your self go
(Verse 3:)
Way in Way out
It seems
One and the same to me
Visions of hope
A rope
that is tightening in my neck
Survive
Decide
Revive the fragments of my past
Floating around me
Is the life I've never had
The lyrics of Biomechanical’s song “Save Me” convey a sense of desperation that the singer feels in their life. The first verse describes how the singer’s emptiness is filled with nothing but their fears, and the silence inside them reflects their life and their destiny. They fear sleep because they don’t want to experience their nightmare again. They plead to be heard and saved, straight through the emptiness they feel inside. The second verse is more intense and highlights the singer’s sense of abysmal fear. They feel like they can’t escape their fear, no matter what they do. They reflect and deflect their past and are infected by it. However, the life they’ve lived so far is not the life they’ve always wanted; they feel like a fragment of themselves is floating around them. In the chorus, the singer begs for help, asking to be saved from their living nightmare, a life without an end, caused by their fears. They ask people to judge them for what they’ve done wrong instead of letting themselves go. In the final verse, the singer describes how they are stuck in a cycle, and it doesn’t matter if they go in or out, either way, it is the same. However, they see visions of hope, like a rope that is tightening around their neck. In the end, they urge people to survive, decide, and revive their past’s fragments.
Overall, the song is a powerful message about hopelessness and fear. It expresses how a person can feel trapped and desperate, and they are begging for help. The song's lyrics convey emotions that people who are feeling lost can relate to, and it highlights how important it is to speak out and ask for help when needed.

Empty spaces
My mind and heart are void and unfulfilled
all filled
With negative emotions and thoughts
with nothing but my fears
Everything in my life is overshadowed by my fears and worries
Silence in me
I am a quiet and reflective person
reflects
Shows
my life, my destiny
The path that I must follow
keep me awake
Don't let me fall asleep and have the same nightmare again
I can't
I am powerless to control my dreams
go through this dream again
Experience the same horrific nightmare once more
Hear my calling
Listen to my plea for help
Straight through the void of my soul
Deep within my being
I am there
I am trapped in my own mind
I feel - I hear
My senses are heightened and overwhelmed
sounds of abysmal fear
Terrifying noises
shutting my eyes won't help
Closing my eyes won't make the fear disappear
I see straight through my flesh
My fear is so strong, it penetrates through my body
Reflect
Think back on
Deflect
Avoid and try not to think about
Infect the fragments of my past
The negative experiences from my past still affect me today
Floating around me
My past hangs over me like a dark cloud
Is the life I've never had
My past holds me back from experiencing a better life
Save me from this living nightmare
Free me from this constant state of fear
Save me from a life without an end
Rescue me from the feeling that this will never end
Hate me for whatever hurts you
If my issues are hurting you, you have the right to be angry at me for it
But please don't let your self go
But don't let your anger consume you
Way in Way out
The path in and out of my problems is unclear
It seems
To me
One and the same to me
The path in and out of my problems appears to be the same
Visions of hope
Dreams of a better future
A rope
Something that could lead to my salvation or my destruction
that is tightening in my neck
That is choking me and making it hard to breathe
Survive
Keep going
Decide
Make an important choice
Revive the fragments of my past
Make peace with my past and move forward
Is the life I've never had
My past experiences have prevented me from having a better life
