However, less than half a year after releasing the album, Martin retired from the spotlights. He didn't give any interviews or live performances until October 2015, when he released the single Levitate Me, now going by the moniker of Saveus.
Ready To Die
Saveus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm right here
Why me? Why am I the one?
What have I done to get this over me? Yeah
I guess my Lord started counting way back
Days until the payback
Oh, not now
Not right now, not right now
What are you telling me, telling me you are?
Don't wanna believe, don't wanna hear you, Father
I'm not ready to die
Not ready to die
If I leave who will be replacing me?
If I leave, if she won't take my name
Then I won't blame her, I won't keep her in the rain
And I keep on praying, I keep on begging
Not right now, not right now
Not right now
What are you telling me, telling me you are?
Don't wanna believe, don't wanna hear you, Father
I'm not ready to die
Not ready to die
What are you telling me, telling me you are?
Don't wanna believe, don't wanna hear you, Father
I'm not ready to die
Not ready to die
Why are you choosing me, choosing me when I
When I wanna live, I wanna feel it all
Oh, I'm not ready to die
Not ready to die
What are you telling me, telling me you are?
Don't wanna believe, don't wanna hear you, Father
I'm not ready to die
Not ready to die
Why are you choosing me, choosing me when I
When I wanna live, I wanna feel it all
Oh, I'm not ready to die
Not ready to die
The lyrics of Saveus's song "Ready to Die" explore feelings of confusion, fear, and resistance towards accepting one's inevitable fate. The singer begins by questioning why they are the one facing this challenging situation, asking what they have done to deserve it. They feel overwhelmed and express their desire for a reprieve from their current circumstances, pleading with their Lord for mercy.
The singer then addresses a specific person, possibly a loved one, expressing concern about what will happen if they were to leave or pass away. They wonder who would replace them and worry that without their presence, someone may suffer in the rain. Despite their prayers and pleas, they are told that the time is not right for their desired outcome.
The singer continues to resist the idea of death, expressing disbelief and refusing to accept it. They express a desire to live and feel everything that life has to offer. They question why they have been chosen or singled out for this ordeal, emphasizing their desire to experience all that life has to offer before their time comes.
In the final repetition of the chorus, the singer again questions why they have been chosen to face death when they still have so much they want to live and feel. They reiterate that they are not ready to die, emphasizing their refusal to accept their fate and their longing for a full and vibrant life. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration, fear, and a staunch refusal to accept an untimely demise, ultimately reflecting the human instinct to cling to life and resist the inevitability of death.

Tænker sådan på min meget syge far når jeg lytter til den her ufattelige gribende og samtidig barske sang.
Det må være sådan han tænker lige nu. Fuck det er hårdt. Tak Martin for sangen. Peace !!!
