Savior
Demi Lovato & Iggy Azalea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't find my baby
Things gettin' crazy
Losin' my patience
Why you keep me waitin'?
Goin' through the phases
Got me walkin' out the house all done up
Just in case I see your face and you decide to run up
I been sendin' up a prayer hope the call gets through
'Cause my heart beats for you only
I wonder if you even know me
Countin' down every moment
That I wait for ya, I wait for ya
I wonder if you even notice
Lately I've been feelin' hopeless
Easy to lose focus, but I'll wait for ya
I've been looking for a savior
I've been looking for a savior
I've been looking for a hero in my corner
I've been looking for a savior
A savior, to save me
(I've been looking for a savior, a savior to save me)
I feel like God playin' tricks on me, got a fix on me
Feel the weight of the world like I got a brick on me
Had a dance with the devil and he got a grip on me
I'm just tryna get to heaven, hope you got a ticket for me, huh
If I'm Lois Lane, where's my Superman?
I need you faster than a bullet or a speedin' train
And when you find your way to me then I won't need a thing
And I can't wait until the day that we can meet again
'Cause my heart beats for you only
I wonder if you even know me
Countin' down every moment
That I wait for ya, I wait for ya
I wonder if you even notice
Lately I've been feelin' hopeless
Easy to lose focus, but I'll wait for ya
I've been looking for a savior
I've been looking for a savior
I've been looking for a hero in my corner
I've been looking for a savior
A savior, to save me
Saving my love for you, saving my love for you
Saving it, saving it all for you
Saving it all for you, all for you
Saving my love for you, saving my love for you
Saving it, saving it all for you, saving it all for you
I've been looking for a savior
I've been looking for a savior
I've been looking for a hero in my corner
I've been looking for a savior
A savior, to save me
(I've been looking for a savior, a savior, to save me)
The lyrics of "Savior" by Demi Lovato and Iggy Azalea delve into the feelings of longing, hope, and desperation for a connection with someone who can be a source of strength and salvation. The persona in the song expresses feelings of being lost and unable to find their "baby," symbolizing a significant other or someone they deeply care about. The repetition of "I've been looking for a savior" emphasizes the singer's search for someone who can provide them with the love, support, and guidance they crave.
The persona's emotions are heightened as they navigate a world that feels chaotic and unpredictable, leading to a sense of impatience and frustration. They convey the vulnerability and inner turmoil of waiting for this elusive individual, yearning for a sense of stability and reassurance in their life. The lyrics also touch on feelings of doubt and insecurity, questioning whether the person they seek truly knows and understands them, reinforcing a sense of longing and uncertainty in their relationship.
The reference to feeling like "God playing tricks" suggests a sense of spiritual struggle and internal conflict, feeling weighed down by burdens and temptations. The persona acknowledges the challenges they face, including past mistakes and encounters with darkness ("dance with the devil"), but holds onto hope and faith that a higher power or the object of their affection will provide them with salvation and redemption.
In the chorus, the plea for a savior reflects a deep desire for emotional rescue and a beacon of light in times of darkness. The repetition of "saving my love for you" conveys a sense of devotion and dedication to this person, symbolizing a commitment to waiting and being steadfast in their affection. Overall, "Savior" captures the emotional complexities of love, hope, and longing, painting a vivid picture of a soul searching for connection, understanding, and ultimately, salvation in the arms of a beloved.

Been around the world and I, I, I
I've searched far and wide, but still can't find my love
I can't find my baby
I can't find the one who makes me feel complete
Things gettin' crazy
My emotions are all over the place
Losin' my patience
I'm struggling to stay calm and wait for you
Why you keep me waitin'?
Why do you make me wait so long?
Goin' through the phases
Experiencing different stages of emotions
Got me walkin' out the house all done up
I'm getting dressed up in case I see you
Just in case I see your face and you decide to run up
Hoping you'll come back to me when you see me
Yea I'm in a different place, I need someone to hold on to
I'm in a tough situation and seeking support
I been sendin' up a prayer hope the call gets through
Praying and hoping you'll answer my call
'Cause my heart beats for you only
My heart belongs to you and only you
I wonder if you even know me
Do you truly understand who I am?
Countin' down every moment
Counting every second until I see you again
That I wait for ya, I wait for ya
I patiently wait for your return
I wonder if you even notice
Do you see how much I miss you?
Lately I've been feelin' hopeless
I've been losing hope without you
Easy to lose focus, but I'll wait for ya
It's easy to get distracted, but I'll keep waiting for you
I've been looking for a savior
I've been searching for someone to rescue me
A savior, to save me
Someone to save me from my loneliness
If I'm Lois Lane, where's my Superman?
If I'm in need of saving, where's my hero?
I need you faster than a bullet or a speedin' train
I need you to come to me quickly
And when you find your way to me then I won't need a thing
Once you're with me, I'll have everything I need
And I can't wait until the day that we can meet again
I'm eagerly awaiting the moment we reunite
Saving my love for you
Keeping all my love reserved for you

This is such a special moment because it proves true friends. Demi & Iggy knew doing this would give more publicity. Demi is such a good friend for doing this. Iggy this is a great song and deserves more recognition. Thx for sharing the video.
