Save Me
Fool's Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only one to blame it's me
Though I've forsaken you,
The fire's still the same.
I didn't mean to hurt you,
Deceived you, now I fall.
I never meant to break you,
...Never go away...Forgive me...
Forgive me... Forgive me!
...Never go away...Forgive me...
Forgive me... Forgive me!
All the lies have driven you
Away and now I am
The one to be forsaken too
Afraid that I can't stand
The rain no longer -
Stay and get over all your pride
Because I've never needed you
More than I need you tonight.
Never go and save me!
In a minute it's too late.
Hold me now don't let me fall.
Why don't you save me?
There's no limit on my way
That takes me down,
I beg you - call! -
To call my name again!
Deliver me from evil
Save me from the past.
I'll never lose my
Faith in you,
My love will ever last.
A prison made of failure
Your forgiveness is the key,
I never meant to break you,
You're my saviour - set me free!
...Never go away...Forgive me...
Forgive me... Forgive me!
...Never go away...Forgive me!
Forgive me... Forgive me!
Never go and save me!
In a minute it's too late.
Don't let me run against the wall.
Why don't you save me?
There's no limit on my way
That takes me down,
I beg you - call! -
To call my name again!
Never go and save me!
In a minute it's too late.
Don't let me run against the wall.
Why don't you save me?
There's no limit on my way,
I beg you to call my name again!
All the lies have driven you
Away and now I fall.
The one who's been forsaken too
It's me, I cannot call.
The lyrics to Fool's Garden's song Save Me depict a sense of remorse from the singer towards someone they have hurt in the past. The first set of lines, "The devil was my saviour, / The only one to blame it's me / Though I've forsaken you, / The fire's still the same," suggest that the singer may have made bad choices and followed a path that led them to hurt someone they cared about. They feel responsible for their actions and acknowledge that they were the only one at fault. Despite this, they still have feelings for the person they hurt, as implied by the line "The fire's still the same."
The singer then goes on to apologize for their actions, admitting that they didn't mean to hurt the other person and that they never intended to break them down or make them feel small. This sentiment is demonstrated with the lines "I didn't mean to hurt you, / Deceived you, now I fall. / I never meant to break you, / To make you feel so small." The singer wants forgiveness and remorsefully pleads for the other person not to go away or abandon them. They also ask to be saved from their own mistakes and forgiven for their past wrongdoings, as indicated by the repeated refrain "Never go away...Forgive me...Forgive me! / ...Never go away...Forgive me...Forgive me!":
