Lynam describes their sound as a mixture of Foo Fighters, Weezer, and Guns 'n' Roses.
Lynam has toured with some big-name acts, including Saliva, Live, Fuel, and Puddle of Mudd. Most recently they opened for Hinder and Eighteen Visions in 2006, and in early 2008 played on Motley Cruise with Vince Neil, Ratt, and Skid Row. Summer of 2008, the band was supposed to tour with Warrant and Cinderella, but the tour ended up being cancelled due to Tom Keifer of Cinderella hemorrhaging a vocal cord.
Fall of 2009, Lynam will once again be doing a musical cruise - Ship Rocked, which includes Queensryche, Tesla, Skid Row, Broken Teeth, Endeverafter, Stereoside, StoneRider, and other acts that have yet to be announced.
Save My Soul
Lynam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't let go.
Your memories,
Keep haunting me.
I didn't mean to disappoint you,
I didn't mean to let you down.
I only wanted to forget you,
Just walk away,
I'll never be the same.
Save my soul,
I can't let go,
Your memories,
Keep haunting me.
Take control,
I'm on my own,
Can't you see I'm broken?
Did you think that I would give up?
I remember what you did.
I thought you put it on your neck,
I saw your window broken in.
Just walk away,
I'll never be the same.
Save my soul,
I can't let go,
Your memories,
Keep haunting me.
Take control,
I'm on my own.
Can't you see I'm broken?
Just walk away,
I'll never be the same.
Just walk away,
I'll never be the same.
Save my soul,
I can't let go,
Your memories,
Keep haunting me.
Take control,
I'm on my own.
Can't you see I'm broken?
The lyrics of Lynam's song "Save My Soul" tell a story of a person haunted by memories of someone or something that they cannot let go of, no matter how hard they try. The song opens with a plea to "save my soul," indicating that the memories are taking a toll on their emotional state. The next line, "I can't let go," further emphasizes the intensity of the situation, as the person feels completely trapped in their own mind.
The chorus repeats the plea, with the added line "take control, I'm on my own," indicating that the person feels lost and helpless in their struggle to move on. They ask the subject of their memories to see that they are broken, and thus more susceptible to their haunting past.
The second verse adds a layer of mystery and danger to the situation, with lines like "did you think that I would give up?" and "I thought you put it on your neck, I saw your window broken in." These lyrics can be interpreted a number of ways, perhaps suggesting that the person was wronged or betrayed in some way that they cannot forget.
Overall, the lyrics of "Save My Soul" paint a vivid picture of a person trying to escape their past and move on with their life, but feeling trapped and haunted by memories that won't let go. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the desperation of the situation, while the specific details in the verses add intrigue and nuance to the narrative.
