Salvation
Kops Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met my darkest hour, it smiled
I have a hard time choosing fights
My loved ones tell me I'll be fine
Still, I'm so afraid to die alone

I'm so afraid to die alone
'Cause I'm afraid there won't come anyone home
To find me, to find me

I guess I need salvation
I guess I'm wrong for failing
I swallow my pride and cravings
Pray so I don't
Have to renounce my living
Won't let my reason change me
Cover my eyes so gently
Reap what I sow

I cry at tills like a waste of time
I think of tills like a waste of mine
I'm losing sleep, I feel so high
But I'm still afraid to die alone
I'm so afraid to die alone
'Cause I'm afraid there won't come anyone home
To find me, to find me

I guess I need salvation
I guess I'm wrong for failing
I swallow my pride and cravings
Pray so I don't
Have to renounce my living
Won't let my reason change me
Cover my eyes so gently
Reap what I sow

I'm so afraid to die alone
'Cause I'm afraid there won't come anyone home
To find me, to find me
So I flip the camera on my phone
Hope for a smile, but he doesn't seem to like me
To like me

I guess I need salvation
I guess I'm wrong for failing
I swallow my pride and cravings
Pray so I don't
Have to renounce my living
Won't let my reason change me




Cover my eyes so gently
Reap what I sow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Kops's song Salvation explore themes of fear and insecurity. The lines "I met my darkest hour, it smiled" and "I'm losing sleep, I feel so high" suggest the singer is struggling with their own demons, with temptations or addictions that they are ashamed of. They feel alone in this struggle and worry about dying without anyone being there to find them. This fear is emphasized throughout the song with the repeated refrain "I'm so afraid to die alone."


Despite the singer's fears, they are determined to get their life back on track. They "swallow [their] pride and cravings" and pray to avoid having to give up their current way of life. They want to be able to "reap what [they] sow" and not let their struggles define them. At the same time, they yearn for someone to validate them and give them hope. In the lines "So I flip the camera on my phone / Hope for a smile, but he doesn't seem to like me / To like me" the singer is trying to connect with someone, but feels rejected.


Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of the struggles many people face with addiction, mental health, and the fear of dying alone. It is a reminder that while it can be difficult to ask for help and confront our demons, it is also a necessary step towards healing and finding salvation.
