Savior
Hangar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear voices in my head
I will see the flame
You will see the flame
Savior is my name
Behind the power of my eyes
Is the escape
Create your face
While you think about the past
The world doesn't change
Your life is now in my hand
Give me your plan
Sometimes I think about solutions
But the problems of the world I can't change
I don't know what to do
To stop the visions
That disturb my thoughts
I feel sick, I feel so tired
Because I'm lost in my doubt
What do you think about me?
Because Savior is my name
Is my name...
Because Savior is my name
Is my name...
In Hangar's song Savior, the lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with inner turmoil and confusion. The line "I hear voices in my head" indicates that the singer may be suffering from mental illness or experiencing overwhelming thoughts that he cannot silence. The mention of the flame could represent a passion or desire that the singer holds, but it is unclear if this flame is positive or negative.
The use of the word "Savior" in the chorus could suggest that the singer sees himself as someone who has the power to save or change something within himself or the world around him. However, he also seems to feel powerless as he says, "But the problems of the world I can't change / I don't know what to do / To stop the visions that disturb my thoughts." The lyrics further express this feeling of uncertainty when the singer asks, "What do you think about me?" indicating that he is uncertain of how others may perceive him.
Overall, the lyrics to Savior convey a message of struggle and uncertainty, with the singer grappling with his inner demons and the weight of the world around him.
