The Savior and the Disease
Eternity X Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Isn't it strange, how I can hear you now
They never hear your screams no matter how loud they are
But all your sins are gone and all your pain is over
And we are both in trouble now, damned to this hell forever

Isn't it strange how I can still hear you
I'm just like you I don't want to be here in this nightmare without you
You are the one who showed me it wasn't real

Now that you're gone, I'm really gone too

And I wish they all could see
Depression's the symptom it's not the disease
It's closing in on me like the millions who begged to be free
Isn't it strange

Where is the old man to calm me and keep me from my pain
He's always there searching for a way to help you
Make you stronger, so he says, or to tear you down
He's a killer, he's a fugitive, he's a liar, in cover of the night
They call him Mr. Suicide, grab his hand he'll take you on the ultimate ride
Mr. Suicide, grab his hand he'll take you on the ultimate fucking ride

Isn't it strange

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eternity X's song "The Savior and the Disease" seem to be exploring themes of mental health struggles and the complexity of the human psyche. The opening lines suggest that the singer or singer can hear someone who is screaming, but nobody else seems to notice or care. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling alone in one's struggles and not receiving the help or support needed. The idea that "all your sins are gone and all your pain is over" could suggest that the person being spoken to has died or committed suicide, and the singer is left to face their own struggles alone.

The song continues with the singer expressing the desire to not be alone in this "nightmare" and how the person they lost helped them realize that their struggles were not entirely real. However, without this person, they feel lost and without hope. The lyrics then shift to a more confrontational tone towards an old man who is described as either trying to help or hurt the person being spoken to. The old man is given the name "Mr. Suicide" and is portrayed as deceitful and dangerous.

Overall, the lyrics to "The Savior and the Disease" present a complex and emotional exploration of mental health struggles and the impact of losing someone who was a source of support and guidance. The lyrics could be interpreted in a number of different ways, but seem to ultimately be about the struggle to find hope and meaning in the face of overwhelming pain and suffering.

Line by Line Meaning

Isn't it strange, how I can hear you now
It's peculiar how I can still hear your voice

They never hear your screams no matter how loud they are
No one else can hear your cries, no matter how much noise you make

But all your sins are gone and all your pain is over
You're free from your mistakes and suffering now

And we are both in trouble now, damned to this hell forever
Both of us are in a difficult situation, doomed to this torment for all eternity

Isn't it strange how I can still hear you
It's peculiar how I continue to hear you even in death

I'm just like you I don't want to be here in this nightmare without you
I feel the same as you, I don't want to be in this nightmarish world without you

You are the one who showed me it wasn't real
You taught me that our reality is not what it seems

Now that you're gone, I'm really gone too
I've disappeared along with your departure

And I wish they all could see
I wish others could understand

Depression's the symptom it's not the disease
Feeling low is a sign of a deeper issue

It's closing in on me like the millions who begged to be free
I'm feeling trapped like many others who struggled to break free

Where is the old man to calm me and keep me from my pain
Where is the elder who could soothe me and provide relief from my agony

He's always there searching for a way to help you
He's always seeking methods to heal you

Make you stronger, so he says, or to tear you down
He insists he's either building you up or breaking you down

He's a killer, he's a fugitive, he's a liar, in cover of the night
He's a murderer, he's on the run, he's a deceiver, and he's concealing his actions

They call him Mr. Suicide, grab his hand he'll take you on the ultimate ride
He's known as Mr. Suicide and if you accept his offer, he'll escort you on the final journey

Mr. Suicide, grab his hand he'll take you on the ultimate fucking ride
He's Mr. Suicide, take his hand and he'll guide you to everlasting oblivion

Isn't it strange
It's curious, isn't it?
