Save My Soul
Machiavel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Save me from the lies inside
You've always been a million miles away
Save my soul
I don't wanna loose again
Where did you go you when things went wrong for me.
All I needed was a friend
Don't you know I'm still afraid
Don't you know I'grow with age
Don't you know I'm still afraid
Don't you know we grow with age
Save my soul
Do we go on
I won't fight again
Do we go on
Million miles away
All you wanted was an end
All I needed was a friend
Don't you know I'm still afraid
Don't you know I' grow with age
Don't you know I'm still afraid
Don't you know we grow with age
Save my soul.
All you wanted was an end
All I needed was a friend
Don't you know I'm still afraid
Don't you know I grow with age
Don't you know I'm still afraid
Don't you know we grow with age.
Save my soul
All you wanted was an end
All I needed was a friend
Don't you know I'm still afraid
Don't you know I grow with age
Don't you know I'm still afraid
Don't you know we grow with age
Save my soul
Save my soul
Save my soul
The song "Save My Soul" by Machiavel is a plea for help from someone who is feeling lost and alone. The first verse begins with a request to be saved from the lies that are inside, which could refer to the person's own inner demons, or perhaps the lies they have been told by others. The singer is reaching out, asking for someone to help them navigate these difficult feelings. They express their frustration that the person they are calling out to has always been "a million miles away" and they feel abandoned.
In the chorus, the singer pleads for their soul to be saved again. They don't want to lose again and they are wondering where the person they are calling out to went during their time of need. They express that all they needed was a friend, but it seems like this person wasn't there for them when they needed them most. The repeated lines of "Don't you know I'm still afraid/Don't you know we grow with age" speak to the idea that even as we grow older, we still struggle with fear and uncertainty.
The second verse begins with the question of whether or not we go on. It's unclear if the singer is asking this of themselves or of the person they are calling out to. They also state that they won't fight again, which could refer to a past conflict or battle they had with this person or with themselves. The song ends with another plea to save the singer's soul, and the realization that all they needed was a friend.
Overall, "Save My Soul" is a haunting and emotional song that touches on the universal themes of loneliness, fear, and the need for connection.
