Queen
Save Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you,
How I cried.....
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
"I'll love you 'til I die"
Save me Save me Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me Oh...
I'm naked and I'm far from home
The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories,
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted
All that love?.....
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent
Save me Save me Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me Oh...
I'm naked and I'm far from home
Each night I cry, I still believe the lie
I'll love you 'til I die
The lyrics to "Queen" by Save Me describe the painful realization of a failed relationship. The singer remembers the beginning of the relationship when they were seen as a perfect match, how they immersed themselves in the other's love, and all the love that was shared. However, as time went on, the promises of care and loyalty vanished, revealing the relationship as a lie. The singer feels betrayed and abandoned, unable to continue living alone. They call out, begging to be saved or helped out of this seemingly hopeless life, expressing feelings of loneliness and vulnerability. In the end, the singer despairs at the thought of love, feeling like they have no heart and no real intentions.
The song's lyrics reveal an emotional rollercoaster of love gained and lost, leaving the singer feeling exposed and hopeless. These lyrics have been interpreted by many as an ode to Freddie Mercury, Save Me's lead singer, after Queen's disbandment. Fans of Queen and Save Me note the deep emotional and personal attachment Mercury had to his music and performances, which may have influenced the raw emotion behind this song. Overall, the lyrics of "Queen" by Save Me recount a painful emotional journey of love and its aftermath, seeking help and hoping for redemption.
