Saigon
Orchestra/Martin Koch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a life where nothing seems real
I have found you
I have found you
In a world that's moving too fast
In a world where nothing can last
I will hold you
I will hold you
Our lives will change when tomorrow comes
Tonight our hearts drown the distant drums
And we have music all right
Tearing the night
A song
Played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound, a lonely sound
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
Played on a solo saxophone
It's telling me
To hold you tight
And dance like it's the last night of the world
On the other side of the earth
There's a place where life still has worth
I will take you
I'll go with you
You won't believe all the things you'll see
I know 'cause you'll see them all with me
If we're together that's when
We'll hear it again
A song
Played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound, a lonely sound
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
Played on a solo saxophone
It's telling me
To hold you tight
And dance like it's the last night of the world
Dreams
They were all I ever knew
Dreams
You won't need when I'm through
Anywhere
We may be
I will sing with you
A song
A song played on a solo saxophone
So stay with me
And hold me tight
And dance
Like it's the last night of the world
The lyrics to Orchestra/Martin Koch's song "Saigon" speak of finding love in a world that can sometimes feel empty and meaningless. The singer has found someone to hold onto and shares a connection through music. The solo saxophone represents the deep emotions and loneliness that love can bring, but also the beauty and passion that can come from it. The lyrics transport the listener to a place where life has value and together, the singer and their companion will create memories that will last a lifetime. The final lines emphasize the importance of living in the present moment and cherishing every dance as if it were the last night of the world.
Line by Line Meaning
In a place that won't let us feel
We are in a place where we cannot express our emotions freely
In a life where nothing seems real
We feel like everything around us is fake and insincere
I have found you
I have found someone who feels real in this unreal world
In a world that's moving too fast
Our lives are moving too quickly with no time to slow down and appreciate what's around us
In a world where nothing can last
Everything around us is temporary and fleeting
I will hold you
I will hold onto the person who feels real in this fast-paced and fleeting world
Our lives will change when tomorrow comes
Our lives will experience change when the next day arrives
Tonight our hearts drown the distant drums
Tonight, we are so engrossed in our feelings that we have lost touch with reality
And we have music all right
Despite everything, we still have music to soothe our souls
Tearing the night
The music is so powerful that it can tear through the darkness of the night
A song played on a solo saxophone
The music we are hearing is a solo saxophone playing a melody
A crazy sound, a lonely sound
The saxophone music carries a sense of craziness and loneliness
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
The music conveys a message that love is eternal
It's telling me to hold you tight
The music is urging me to embrace the one I love tightly
And dance like it's the last night of the world
The music is encouraging us to live freely and wholly in the present moment
On the other side of the earth
There exists a place that is far away from us
There's a place where life still has worth
In that place, life has meaning and value
I will take you
I will take you with me to that meaningful place
I'll go with you
I will accompany you on this journey
You won't believe all the things you'll see
You will be astounded by the sights we will witness
I know 'cause you'll see them all with me
I know that you will experience everything alongside me
If we're together that's when
Only if we are united can we hope to hear it again
We'll hear it again
We will once again hear the saxophone melody that brought us together
Dreams, they were all I ever knew
My life was made up of nothing but dreams
Dreams, you won't need when I'm through
Once I am with you, you will no longer require just dreams to be happy
Anywhere we may be, I will sing with you a song
No matter where we find ourselves, we will make beautiful music together
So stay with me and hold me tight
Please remain with me and embrace me closely
And dance like it's the last night of the world
Let us live uninhibitedly in this moment, as if it were our last

People act like this can't happen in America. It's literally happening everyday now.... So sickening that people do this stuff to each other to preserve themselves and attempt to obtain power..
@deep-fried-zombie699
If china wouldn’t have supported the North Koreans during the war this entire situation could’ve been avoided.. Free the North Korean people.. free the Chinese people.. communism is evil…

Thank you for exposing Evil. This is what the communist Country North Korean Government does to their own people.
John 8:44 NIV
You are your father the devil, and you’re will is your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him, when he lies. He speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Not enough people in the west really take the time to understand that this barbarism is definitely real in today’s world
@lindseyp2136
I am trying to spread awareness to the people around me. I live in Missouri. I think about the people trapped in NK everyday. I hope to see the day that they are freed 💖 and I agree with you. Not enough people are speaking gonna this. We are blessed to have Yeonmi.

I understand this atrocious situation all too well, being a Historian 📚🤖
@GeoHvl
Most understand without a doubt but also know that nothing can be done short of War. The only one that could bring this to a halt is China and their record is as bad.
