Save Me
Fractured Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
reciting the lines of the words that I’d write,
trying to make sense of wrong from the right.
I’m drowning and no one can save me.
And no one can save me (5x).
Chorus:
Don’t say another word just close your eyes.
push all your selfish values aside,
it’s time to now reflect on your own life.
You’ve come this far,
no one said it was going to be easy.
It’s time to step up,
it’s time to say goodbye.
Breathing deeper,
fate stepping on my fingertips
fuelling tomes of what should not exist,
wave the flag as the waves pull me under,
I am only here for vengeance and self-deception.
Chorus (2x)
The lyrics to Fractured's song "Save Me" tell the story of a struggling individual who is trying to make sense of right and wrong. The pressure of the voices inside and the weight of the words he writes is too much to bear, and he feels like he is drowning with no one to save him. The chorus portrays a sense of detachment from the world and a need to reflect on one's own life, without the interference of the selfish values that burden us. The song ends with a resolve to step up and move forward, even in the face of adversity.
The lyrics has a clear message, but the instrumentation and arrangement of the song add a layer of complexity to it. The instrumental break in the middle of the song is particularly noteworthy, with its deep breathing and haunting sounds that, coupled with the lyrics, convey a sense of desperation and hopelessness. The song is an emotional rollercoaster, with moments of calm and moments of intense emotion.
