April
Saviour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We used to say we loved each other
Until that became too hard to say
And then we'd say we missed each other
Until that feeling, it went away

And now we say nothing at all
And now we say nothing, nothing at all
And now I say

Let me leave, let me leave, let me leave
I don't want to (I don't want to)
But I need to (But I need to)
Let me leave, let me leave, let me leave
I don't want to (I don't want to)
But I need to
(So I named this song after you)

So chase your dreams
And just like May
I will always be beside you
Darling, we burnt on much stronger
When we were younger
The world is much colder
Now that we're older
Bright lights keep fading away
I missed you more in the winter
What if I need you to stay
Would you be here in a flicker?
But I hate pretending like I am alright
Like I am alright
Like I am alright
Like I am alright
Like I am alright
Like I am fine
Like I am alright
But I hate pretending like I am alright
Like I am fine, fine, fine

Let me leave, let me leave, let me leave
I don't want to (I don't want to)
But I need to (But I need to)
Let me leave, let me leave, let me leave
I don't want to (I don't want to)
But I need to
Like I am alright




Like I am fine
So I named this song after you

Overall Meaning

The song "April" by Saviour explores the themes of love, loss, and the struggle of letting go. The opening verse describes a past relationship where the couple no longer says "I love you" or "I miss you" because it has become too difficult. The singer then admits to needing to leave the relationship even though they don't want to. The chorus repeats this sentiment with desperation, as if the singer desperately wants to leave but can't bring themselves to do it.


The second verse compares the present day with the past, where the couple "burned much stronger" when they were younger. The world is now colder, and the bright lights of their past have faded away. The singer yearns for their former lover to stay, but also hates pretending that everything is okay. In the end, the song is named after the lover, a poignant reminder of what was lost.


Overall, "April" is a powerful exploration of the emotions that come with the end of a relationship. It touches on the struggle to move on, the pain of missing someone, and the tension between wanting to stay and needing to leave.

The first time I heard this song it hit home. I'm in a complicated situation about leaving this relationship but I'm not strong enough. Everytime I listen to this song I get high hopes that I'm not alone.
