Savana Sabertooth
OH!hello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Missing all the things you do
Da da da da, sabertooth
You're on the third floor and I'm in the attic
Wondering why I'm not with you
Da da da da, sabertooth
Cause you're my little foggy-eyed sabertooth tiger
Tell them that you're only mine and we'll take Alaska
Darling you're one of a kind, I gotta tell ya
Your dog got taken, my cat got ran over
Isn't that the way it goes
Da da da da, sabertooth
I am the driftwood you are the fire
At least until we turn to dust
Da da da da sabertooth
You thought I got eaten, but I was just faking
I don't wanna die alone, no I don't wanna die
But death is an old friend, and we talk often
Unlike my old friends, yeah they'll never hear this
It's a long way down it's a long way down
It's a long way down when you're in the clouds and I'm in Alaska
The lyrics to OH!hello’s song Savana Sabertooth are filled with vivid imagery that paints a picture of two people who are separated by distance, but are still drawn to each other. The first line, “You’re in the clouds and I’m in Alaska,” sets up the theme of distance and longing that runs throughout the song. The use of the word “missing” in the next line highlights the sense of loss that the singer feels for their partner. The repeated refrain of “Da da da da, sabertooth” serves as a kind of emotional punctuation, emphasizing the emotions that the singer is trying to convey.
The chorus is where the emotion of the song really comes to a head. The singer describes their partner as a “foggy-eyed sabertooth tiger,” which is a primal and animalistic image that emphasizes their desire for this person. The singer wants to claim them as their own and take them to Alaska, a place that is remote and untamed, like their passions. The line “I am the driftwood, you are the fire” is a beautiful way of describing the dynamic between the two people, with the singer being drawn to their partner’s warmth and passion.
The verses provide additional context for the relationship, with the singer mentioning the loss of their pets and the inevitability of death. The line “Unlike my old friends, yeah they’ll never hear this” is particularly poignant, emphasizing the distance that the singer feels from the people in their life. Overall, Savana Sabertooth is a song about longing and desire, about being drawn to someone despite the distance between them.
