Fast Times at Clairemont High
Pierce the Veil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been saving myself for you
I've been saving myself for you
I waited my whole life for you
I've been saving myself for you

Tonight we'll be throwing a party
Under the sunset we started to drink
A little faster now!
This celebration so many faces
I say the words as the moon painted us blue

I've been saving myself for you
I've been saving myself for you
I waited my whole life for you
'Cause I was saving myself for you

(Now brother bring that beat back)

Now hold on, this is innocent blood,
All the beach boys look like sharks
Because without you nothing ever mattered
I scream and wave my arms but you don't understand me
Now as I watch the feed on you, it's over
If I die, you die too

Because I'm saving myself for you
I've been saving myself for you
I waited my whole life for you
'Cause I was saving myself for you
I just wanted one dance with you
Under the smoke alarm

Every single door in this house is on fire!

So melodramatic but it turns me on
I close my eyes it feels just like a movie
I'm convinced that we don't make sense,
But I'd kill anyone who gets close

I've been saving myself for you
Ive been saving myself for you
The sharpest thing I find for you
'Cause I was saving myself for you
Ive been saving myself for you
I saved myself for you
Don't you know I'd die for you?




I saved myself for you
(Without you whats the point?)

Overall Meaning

The repeated lines "I've been saving myself for you" emphasize the dedication and love the person has for their partner. The song starts with a description of a party under the sunset where people are drinking and the celebration has so many faces. It's apparent that the party means nothing to the person without their significant other. As the night progresses, the song becomes more intense as the person declares their love for their partner and how they have been saving themselves for them. The metaphorical phrase "innocent blood" could mean that their love is pure and has never been shared with anyone else before. They end up asking for just one dance under the smoke alarm, which symbolizes the intense passion they share.


The chorus of the song repeats multiple times, highlighting the fact that the person has been waiting their entire life for their significant other. The phrase "I've been saving myself for you" is a romantic and powerful expression of the love the person has for their partner. The bridge of the song brings in an element of danger or violence as the person reveals that they would kill anyone who gets close to their partner. This could signify the depth of their love and how they would do anything to protect what they consider theirs. The song ends with a declaration that they have saved themselves for their partner and that their life would be meaningless without them.

I was saving myself for you
I was saving myself for you
I was saving myself for you

Tonight we'll be throwing a party
Under the sunset we started to drink
A little faster now
This celebration, so many faces
I say the words as the moon painted us blue

I've been saving myself for you
I've been saving myself for you
I waited my whole life for you
'Cause I was saving myself for you
Now brother bring that beat back

Now hold on, this is innocent blood
All the beach boys look like sharks
Because without you nothing ever mattered
I scream and wave my arms, but you understand me
Now as I watch them feed on you, it's over
If I die, you die, too

Because I'm saving myself for you
I've been saving myself for you
I waited my whole life for you
Cause I was saving myself for you
I just wanted one dance with you
One night under the smoke alarm
Every single door in this house is on fire!

So, melodramatic but it turns me on
I close my eyes it feels just like a movie
I'm convinced that we don't make sense
But, I'd kill anyone who gets close

I've been saving myself for you
I've been saving myself for you
The sharpest thing I find for you
Cause I was saving myself for you
I've been saving myself for you
I saved myself for you
Don't you know I'd die for you
I saved myself for you

Without you, what's the point?
