Savior
KITCHEN - Rise Against Lyrics

It kills me not to know this, but I've all but just forgotten
The singer regrets forgetting important details about someone they cherished.

What the color of her eyes were, and her scars or how she got them
The singer can't remember the physical attributes and past experiences of the person they cared about.

As the telling signs of age rain down, a single tear is dropping
The singer is crying because they're becoming old and have forgotten details about the person they cared about.

Through the valleys of an aging face, that this world has forgotten
The artist feels ignored by the world as they age and struggle to remember someone important to them.

There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
The artist can't make up for forgetting important details and feels lost and helpless.

And there is no time like the present, to drink these draining seconds
The singer realizes that time is slipping away and that they should cherish every moment.

But seldom do these words ring true, when I'm constantly failing you
The singer struggles to show love to the person they care about and feels like they constantly let them down.

Walls that we just can't break through, until we disappear
The artist and the person they cared about can't seem to connect and their relationship is failing.

If this ain't love then how do we get out?
The artist questions if their relationship is truly love or if they should end it.

That's when she said I don't hate you boy, I just want to save you, while there's still something left to save
The person the artist cares about doesn't hate them, but wants to help before it's too late.

That's when I told her I love you girl, But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have, whoa, whoa
The singer confesses their love, but knows they can't provide all the answers to the person's struggles.

And the day pressed on like crushing weights, For no man does it ever wait
The day feels oppressive and time keeps moving even when the artist wishes it would stop.

Like memories of dying days, That deafen us like hurricanes
Memories of the past can be overwhelming and feel like a destructive force.

Bathed in flames we held the brand, Uncurled the fingers in your hand, Pressed into the flesh like sand
The singer and the person they cared about shared intense experiences and bonded closely.

Now do you understand?
The singer questions if the other person can see the depth of their connection and feelings.

One thousand miles away, There's nothing left to say, But so much left that I don't know
The artist is physically separated from the person they care about and can't express everything they feel.

We never had a choice, This world is too much noise, It takes me under
The artist feels helpless and overwhelmed by the chaos of the world and their own emotions.

I don't hate you
The singer reassures the person they care about that they don't hate them, even if they struggle to show their love.

So tell me now, If this ain't love then how do we get out? 'Cause I don't know
The singer still questions if their relationship is truly love and wonders if they should end it.
