Saving You
Fawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has to do with the way I see you despair
Oh, it seems like it hurts so much more than you can keep up with
But now who am I to make that call
There's a creepiness to my desire
To rescue the tears you've left around
Oh, it scares me to sleep and I open the dream
I'd like to save you, I'd like to save you now
But I myself am unsaven
So tell me what the hell am I doing here
And if I'm going to save you then who's going to save me
From killing us both into this shame
And here I am stripping down to naked core
Here I am dripping down the angel's floor
It's all I have to give to you
The song "Saving You" by Fawn shows a speaker who desires to save someone else from despair but is ultimately unable to do so. The first verse begins with the singer acknowledging that they have a warning in their point of view because of how they see the other person's despair. The singer recognizes that the other person is hurting more than they can keep up with, but questions whether they are the right person to make that call. The second verse shows the singer's desire to rescue the other person's tears and how this desire scares them. In their dreams, the singer realizes they are a "scam" to the other person.
The chorus represents the singer's desire to save the other person despite the fact that they themselves are "unsaven." However, the singer questions why they are even in that position and who will save them from the shame of potentially killing them both. In the final verse, the singer is metaphorically stripping down to their naked core, giving all they have to offer to the other person, represented by the angel's floor.
Overall, the song explores the complicated dynamics of wanting to help someone while also recognizing the limitations of one's own abilities and vulnerabilities. The singer acknowledges their flaws and limitations while still striving to save the other person, highlighting the complexity of human relationships.

There's a warning inside my point of view
I have a concern in the way I perceive things
Has to do with the way I see you despair
It relates to my understanding of how much you're suffering
Oh, it seems like it hurts so much more than you can keep up with
Your pain appears to be more than what you can handle
But now who am I to make that call
However, who am I to judge or interfere?
There's a creepiness to my desire
I find a weirdness in my yearning
To rescue the tears you've left around
To help you cope with the sorrow you carry with you
Oh, it scares me to sleep and I open the dream
It frightens me even in my sleep and dreams
And I realize what a scam I am to you
And I'm conscious of the deceit that my intentions hold
I'd like to save you, I'd like to save you now
I want to rescue you, and I want to do it now
But I myself am unsaven
However, I am in need of redemption
So tell me what the hell am I doing here
I'm trying to save you, but what's my purpose?
And if I'm going to save you then who's going to save me
If I end up rescuing you, who will help me?
From killing us both into this shame
To prevent us both from being consumed by guilt and regret
And here I am stripping down to naked core
Here I am revealing my true self
Here I am dripping down the angel's floor
Here I am breaking down on the floor, bare and vulnerable
It's all I have to give to you
But it's all I can do to aid you
