Don't Save Me
Paindivision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Puzzling thoughts are shared
Emotional pieces fits
What are your intentions?
I Can't be feeling this
But you've always perfect in my eyes
I'm fucking up again
I am breaking boundaries
The safecard's been given for me to get hurt
You're getting way too close
I let you break my walls
Not knowing what you do to me
Now I'm caught off guard
My misery pit gets deeper
Don't ever try to save me again
I know the rules
But you don't know what it's like
I'm the one to drive the drunk bunch all my life
All my fucking life
You're getting way too close
I let you break my walls
Not knowing what you do to me
Now I'm caught off guard
My misery pit gets deeper
Don't ever try to save me again
Try and blame the angel
You're just being my best friend
I'm selfish without insight
You're already happy
Please leave me here for dead
You've gotten way too close
I let you break my walls
Not knowing what you do to me
Now I fall apart
My misery pit is deeper
Never save me just leave me here for dead
The lyrics to Paindivision's song "Don't Save Me" depict a complex and conflicted emotional state. The song explores the singer's inner struggles and their relationship with another person who has been trying to help and save them. The opening lines, "Bloated again before ourselves, Puzzling thoughts are shared, Emotional pieces fit," suggest that the singer is overwhelmed by their own emotions and thoughts, potentially due to a troubled past or personal issues. They question the other person's intentions, unsure of whether they truly understand what the singer is going through.
The singer admits that they can't help but feel a deep connection and admiration for this person, despite knowing that it may cause them pain. The lines "But you've always been perfect in my eyes, I'm fucking up again, I am breaking boundaries" convey a sense of vulnerability and self-awareness. The singer acknowledges that they are willingly pushing their own boundaries by allowing this person into their life, even though it may result in getting hurt.
The chorus reflects the singer's conflicted feelings towards this person's attempts to save them, as they feel caught off guard and unable to handle the emotions that arise. They plead for the other person to stop trying to save them, as they believe that they already know the rules and complexities of their own situation.
In the second verse, the singer tries to shift the blame onto the other person by saying "Try and blame the angel, You're just being my best friend." This line suggests that the person's good intentions are not enough for the singer, who feels guilty for burdening their friend with their own problems. The singer admits to being selfish and lacking insight, while also believing that the other person is already happy and should leave them to their own misery.
Overall, "Don't Save Me" captures the internal struggle of someone who is torn between wanting help and wanting to be left alone. It explores themes of vulnerability, self-sabotage, and the difficulty of accepting help from others.

Making mistakes once more
I am breaking boundaries
Crossing limits and pushing boundaries
And you push my buttons
You know how to trigger and provoke me
The safecard's been given for me to get hurt
Having been granted permission to be hurt
You're getting way too close
Becoming too emotionally intimate
I let you break my walls
Allowing you to penetrate my defenses
Not knowing what you do to me
Unaware of the impact you have on me
Now I'm caught off guard
Feeling surprised and unprepared
My misery pit gets deeper
Sinking further into my suffering
Don't ever try to save me again
Don't attempt to rescue or help me
I know the rules
Understanding the guidelines
But you don't know what it's like
You can't comprehend my experience
I'm the one to drive the drunk bunch all my life
Being responsible for others in intoxicated states for so long
All my fucking life
Throughout my entire existence
Try and blame the angel
Attempting to shift blame onto someone who appears innocent
You're just being my best friend
You're simply fulfilling the role of my closest companion
I'm selfish without insight
Lacking self-awareness and acting selfishly
You're already happy
You are already content and fulfilled
Please leave me here for dead
Please abandon me and let me suffer alone
You've gotten way too close
You have become too intimately involved
I let you break my walls
I allowed you to breach my emotional barriers
Not knowing what you do to me
Unaware of the impact you have on me
Now I fall apart
Now I am crumbling and breaking down
My misery pit is deeper
My state of misery has worsened
Never save me just leave me here for dead
Do not attempt to rescue me, abandon me to suffer
