Savior
Noa;Peter Maffay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pouring out over desert sands
Through parched skin
And madness
On chamber after chamber
Til it's all run out
But, oh, my savior
You said remember,
You said remember, remember
When you're all dried out
That which was sacred
That which was sacred
Remember
Savior, my savior
Pouring out over desert sands
Through parched skin and madness
On chamber after chamber
Til it's all run out
But, oh, my savior
My savior
You said remember,
You said remember, remember
When you're all dried out
That which was sacred
That which was sacred
Remember
Savior, my savior
Pouring out over desert sands
Through parched skin and madness
On chamber after chamber
Parched skin and madness

However, despite feeling parched and desperate, the person is still able to hold onto the hope that the savior will come and save them.
The repeated verse "You said remember, remember, when you're all dried out, that which was sacred, remember" emphasizes the idea of holding onto the sacred or important things in life, even when you feel like everything around you is falling apart. The savior being referred to in the song could be interpreted as a person, a belief, or a feeling of hope, depending on the listener's perspective.
