Save Me
I.D.O.L. King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Save me from you
But pave me
The way to you
Lead me upon, the captive free
Gracious and tame like love can be
Lead me upon
Spoil me with you
And soil me with the world of you
Watch over me with a mother's eyes
Judging my worth only to glorify
Watch over me
Save me, save me
Save me, save me
Carry
Carry me through
And bury all my doubts of you
Clothe my desire with spell or prayer
I'll shroud every sign of need I swear
Clothe my desire
Save me, save me
Save me, save me
Save me, save me
Save me, save me

The singer seems to be conflicted between wanting to be saved from the other person and wanting to be spoiled by them.

The chorus repeats the plea for salvation, emphasizing the desperation of the singer. The following verse reiterates the desire to be enveloped by the other person and to have them watch over the singer like a mother figure, judging them only for the sake of bringing glory to the relationship. The song ends with an appeal for the other person to carry the singer through their doubts and desires, even if it means having to bury them.
Overall, "Save Me" by I.D.O.L. King is a complex exploration of the ambivalent emotions that sometimes exist in relationships. The lyrics touch on themes of desire, protection, and control, revealing the singer's conflicting desires.

Re-watching her solo covers again and had to Re-play 3:25 because that clear high note was heavenly. It’s amazing that she could still do that after singing that entire song meant for 10 people.

Some artist did this challenge too, but Yeonjung impressed me, she is quite stable to finish the whole song by herself.
