Save Yourself
LVXI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The pain, it only takes me higher
Floating way above the city now
Nothing's impossible
I run straight in to the fire
Go ahead and try to stop me now
Baby, I was never yours
I'm not who you're waiting for
Don't need your prayer, if you really cared
Just cut me loose
Cut me loose
And I'll fall into the sky
In the dark, I come alive
Oh, I don't need your help
Boy, you should save yourself, you should save yourself
And I can't lie to you
Cuz we both believed in flying
Gave me faith when I had no one else
The way I craved the nights
And how you held your pride beside you
When you look at me, you see yourself
Baby, I was never yours
Look at me with eyes brand new
I'm not who you're waiting for
Don't need your prayer, if you really cared
Just cut me loose
Cut me loose
And I'll fall into the sky
In the dark, I come alive
Oh, I don't need your help
Boy, you should save yourself, you should save yourself
Can't save no one if you can't save yourself
Soak in the glory, and all of your doubt
Know that I see you, hope that it helps
Nothing to prove, except to yourself
Don't worry about me, I'm fine
I'm not afraid of the night
I'm not afraid of these heights
And I'll fall into the sky
In the dark, I come alive
Oh, I don't need your help
Boy, you should save yourself, you should save yourself
The lyrics to "Save Yourself" by LVXI convey a sense of empowerment and independence. The songwriter starts by expressing a feeling of invincibility and how pain only serves to elevate them. They feel detached from the world, floating above it, and believe that nothing is impossible for them.

The rejection of prayers and the request to be set free signify a desire for independence and liberation. The line "And I'll fall into the sky, in the dark I come alive" suggests a willingness to embrace the unknown and find strength within oneself.
The subsequent verse acknowledges the impact the previous relationship had. It mentions the belief in flying and the faith the person provided when no one else was there. However, it also emphasizes that the person looking at the songwriter only sees themselves, implying a lack of genuine connection and understanding.
Overall, "Save Yourself" is a song about asserting one's independence, breaking free from past relationships, and finding strength from within. It encourages self-reliance and urges the listener to prioritize their own well-being.
