Living Without Love
Saves the Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you said we don't have a chance to be saved
We're lost, we're torn, we praise,
We scorn, we're stuck, and we'll stay
The same
Oh you are not the one to blame
The past, the pain, all that it had once became.
You lost your way that's all
Living without you, living without love
Is it the life I need?
No more tomorrow, no morning sorrow
Now it's all up to me
I feel the rain as you turn my way
You say "It's not a waste"
Living without you, living without love, is it the life I need?
No more tomorrow, no morning sorrow, now it's all up to me.
In the song "Living Without Love" by Saves the Day, the lyrics explore the theme of lost love and moving on from a relationship. The song opens with the singer urging their partner to take their hand and rise up again, despite the fact that they have previously expressed doubt that they can be saved. The lyrics acknowledge the pain and turmoil that the couple has gone through together, praising and scorning each other, and ultimately accepting that they will stay stuck in this cycle.
However, the song takes a turn when the singer admits that their partner is not the only one to blame for the problems they faced. The past and the pain that it brought was simply too much to bear, leaving them lost and alone. The chorus highlights the central question of the song: Is living without love the life that is needed? The singer contemplates if they are truly better off without love, no matter how painful it may be, or if they need it to truly live.
As the song progresses, the singer realizes that no one else can make the decision for them. They must take control of their own life and face the consequences of their choices. The mood of the song softens as the partner turns towards the singer, reminding them that it's not a waste to move on because there is still hope for happiness. Ultimately, the song is about taking responsibility for one's own life and the choices made, despite the heartbreak and uncertainty that comes with it.
