Save My Soul
Mathew V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was never about you cause I've
Traveled alone all this time
Count your blessings while you can
And hold on to your flares
Only thing you'll have left
But had it before you
Cause baby I had to
Everyday I need a little bit more
But I don't need you there
Cause I've been here on my own
Everyday it takes a long road Oh
I don't need a hand to hold
You don't need to save my soul
As I fear the tides have turned
And the river runs deep
Pray the good Lord
My soul to keep
But the waters rolling out
I'm telling you here as I stare
Full of myself on the land
The weight was never on your shoulders
I'd never force it
You're doing it for me
Everyday I need a little bit more
But I don't need you there
Cause I've been here on my own
Everyday it takes a long road Oh
I don't need a hand to hold
You don't need to save my soul
And would you
Promise what you're talking to me,
When the light it fades away?
And would you stay?
Cause baby I don't think it's in you
Until you prove me otherwise, I'll stay
Everyday I need a little bit more
But I don't need you there
Cause I've been here on my own
Everyday it takes a long road Oh
I don't need a hand to hold
You don't need to save my soul
Everyday I need a little bit more
But I don't need you there
Cause I've been here on my own
Everyday it takes a long road Oh
I don't need a hand to hold
You don't need to save my soul
In Mathew V’s song “Save My Soul,” the artist reflects on a past relationship and the emotions that come with it. The chorus repeats the message that the singer doesn’t need anyone to save their soul or hold their hand, suggesting a sense of independence and self-reliance. The first verse acknowledges that certain things were out of the singer’s control and that they have been traveling alone for some time. The singer is grateful for what they have and encourages the listener to do the same. The second verse acknowledges the fear of the tides turning, but the singer knows that the weight was never on their partner’s shoulders and they should not feel obligated to save them.
Overall, the song seems to be a message to a former partner or perhaps to oneself - that it is important to count blessings and find strength within oneself. The lyrics suggest that sometimes we need a little bit more, but we can still be okay on our own. The final lines pose a question to the partner, asking if they will stay and prove themselves capable of supporting the singer.

It was out of your control
You were not in control of the situation
It was never about you cause I've
The situation did not involve or concern you as I
Traveled alone all this time
I have been alone throughout my journey
Count your blessings while you can
Appreciate what you have while you still have it
And hold on to your flares
Keep your source of light and hope close by
Only thing you'll have left
The only thing that will remain with you
Though it was never in your hands
Even though you were never in control of it
But had it before you
I had experienced it before you did
Cause baby I had to
Because I had to go through it
Everyday I need a little bit more
I require more every day
But I don't need you there
But I do not require your presence
Cause I've been here on my own
Because I have been alone throughout
Everyday it takes a long road Oh
Every day is a difficult journey
I don't need a hand to hold
I do not require assistance
You don't need to save my soul
You do not need to rescue me
As I fear the tides have turned
I am afraid that things have changed
And the river runs deep
And the situation is intense
Pray the good Lord
I pray to God
My soul to keep
To preserve my spirit
But the waters rolling out
But the situation is changing
I'm telling you here as I stare
I am communicating with you as I gaze
Full of myself on the land
I am confident on solid ground
The weight was never on your shoulders
You were never responsible for the burden
I'd never force it
I would never push you to bear it
You're doing it for me
You do it because of me and my situation
And would you
And I ask you
Promise what you're talking to me,
To make a commitment to what you say to me
When the light it fades away?
When things become difficult and unclear?
And would you stay?
And will you remain by my side?
Cause baby I don't think it's in you
Because I don't believe that you are capable of it
Until you prove me otherwise, I'll stay
Until you demonstrate otherwise, I will remain skeptical
You don't need to save my soul
You do not have to rescue or save me
