Save Yourself
Ignite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has been constant lies
Everyday you fail to see
I'm trying to help you
I'm losing grip on you
Can't seem to pull this though
You fight, can't win
Your time, at hand
Where is your belief
Can you save yourself
One more time, one more lie
Will it ever end
More repetition of your failing ways
More ammunition, come and
Put you in your final place
Can't stand to see you lose
Your saving grace
Your fight, can't win
Your time, at hand
Where is your belief
Can you save yourself
One more time, one more lie
Make it through another night
You're drowning in these waters
One more time, one more lie
Will it ever end
Everything you said to me was a lie
I'm losing grip on you
Can't seem to pull this through
You count your days
You change your ways
You're pushing, it's certain
Toward that final curtain
Tearing you apart
You're falling, you're failing
Alone in all your ailing
Here we go again
Where is your belief
Can you save yourself
One more time, one more lie
Make it through another night
You're drowning in these waters
One more time, one more lie
Will it ever end
The lyrics to Ignite's song "Save Yourself" describe a desperate situation where the singer is trying to help someone who constantly lies to them, and despite their efforts, seems to be slipping away. The singer is losing grip on the situation, unable to pull the person through, and they fear that their lies will never end. The repetition of these lies and their failing ways only serve as ammunition to put them in their final place, which the singer cannot bear to witness. They urge the individual to find their belief and save themselves before it is too late, even though they feel alone in their ailing.
The song "Save Yourself" speaks to the theme of self-salvation and the personal responsibility to change one's ways before it is too late. The lyrics describe a feeling of helplessness, as the singer continues to try and save someone who is not ready or unwilling to change. The repetition of "one more time, one more lie," underscores the feeling that the lies will continue, and there is no end in sight.
Musically, "Save Yourself" features fast-paced drumming, and heavy guitar riffs that add to the urgency of the situation. The chorus features a call-and-response style with the repeated question, "Where is your belief?" The lyrics to this song reflect a universal feeling that we need to take responsibility for our lives and our choices and that sometimes the hardest person to save is ourselves.
Line by Line Meaning
Everything you've said to me
All the statements you made were false and inaccurate
Has been constant lies
They were not occasional errors, but a consistent pattern of untruths
Everyday you fail to see
You neglect to comprehend the situation at present
I'm trying to help you
I am making an effort to provide you with assistance
I'm losing grip on you
I'm unable to maintain control or influence over you
Can't seem to pull this though
I am finding it difficult to carry out my plan
You fight, can't win
Despite your efforts, success is unachievable
Your time, at hand
Your demise is imminent
Where is your belief
Your faith or confidence has vanished
Can you save yourself
Do you have the ability to rescue yourself from this situation
One more time, one more lie
Another deception will be the final blow
Will it ever end
Is there a conclusion to this never-ending cycle
More repetition of your failing ways
Committing the same mistakes repeatedly
More ammunition, come and
Additional evidence that will support your impending downfall
Put you in your final place
Result in your inevitable defeat
Can't stand to see you lose
I am unable to tolerate witnessing your downfall
Your saving grace
Your last and only hope of survival
You're drowning in these waters
The situation has completely overwhelmed you
Make it through another night
Endure and survive another day
Toward that final curtain
Proceeding towards the end of the story
Tearing you apart
Causing you immense emotional pain and distress
You're falling, you're failing
You're in the process of failing tremendously
Alone in all your ailing
You have no one to turn to during your struggle
Here we go again
We are back to square one
