There is another artist with the same name:
2) Savages is an electronic musician from Hungary, born in 1981 in Balassagyarmat and currently living in Budapest. He had classic musical education and played on trumpet for about 7 years, and then he got his first PC.
It was a turning-point and from that moment he was much more interested in making music with computers. His early demo tapes were inspired by the rave era and after the end of this period he became ‘more’ serious and open-minded to other musical styles like jazz, funk, soul, contemporary, etc.
Savages released his solo debut album (Five Finger Discount) in 2008 through Chameleon Records. In the same year he met Suefo (also a member of Vono Box) and they started working together on tracks and remixes. Since then they did remixes for !DelaDap, [dunkelbunt], Max Pashm, Rube, Kid Loco, [re:jazz], Danilo Venturi to name a few. The two members came from the same eclectic music scene of Budapest. They play downtempo, breaks, jazz, funk, hip-hop, dub, electro swing and all kinds of multikulti folk in their dj sets and they incorporate the same variety in their own music as well. These days they’re busy working on some new remixes and organising new clubnights to promote electroswing phenomena in Hungary.

A sad, sad person
Always been
A sad, sad person
It's not that bad
You just [?]
And question everything you do
You're never satisfied
Love is a disease
The strongest addiction I know
What happens in the brain
Is the same as the rush of cocaine
The more you have
The more you crave

I'm not gonna hurt you
'Cause I'm flirting with you
I'm not gonna hurt myself
So what else? What else? What else?

I wanna know why I hesitate
To brace myself and love you
To brace myself a good, good, girl
To face myself and hear me roar
You wanna know why I change my mind
And when I did everything was fine
Sometimes the truth is right there, right there
If you're beautiful here, you're beautiful there
I am, I am
A sad, sad person
Always been
A sad, sad person
What do I do?
I'm not gonna hurt you
'Cause I'm fluttered with you

In the song "Sad Person" by Savages, the lyrics express a feeling of sadness and dissatisfaction with oneself while also exploring the powerful, addictive nature of love. The chorus repeats the phrase "You are, you are, a sad, sad person, always been, a sad, sad person" highlighting the singer's own feelings of personal inadequacy. The singer reflects on their tendency to question everything they do and their inability to be satisfied with themselves.
The song then shifts to a discussion on love, describing it as a disease and the strongest addiction the singer knows. They compare the rush of dopamine in the brain caused by love to the rush of cocaine. The lyrics express the idea that the more love you have, the more you crave it, and it can lead to destructive behavior. The bridge of the song is an introspective moment where the singer questions their hesitation in loving someone and the reasons behind it, ultimately realizing that being beautiful on the inside is just as important as being beautiful on the outside.
Overall, "Sad Person" is a contemplative and honest exploration of personal doubt and the complexities and difficulties of love. The lyrics highlight the struggle to love oneself and to love others in a healthy manner.
