Dissipate
Saviour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking back to the thought
To think we called this home
Reminiscent bitter sweet memories
I watched them dissipate
Through my finger tips
I felt so helpless
Turn your back for it wouldn't be the first time
Your heart changes with season
I'll be fine on my own
I wish forgetting was a little bit easier
Your shadow looms on me
Bide your time to make your mind
While I quietly die
The sky is bright
But your shadow seems to darken my days
While I quietly die
The sweetest dream, turns into a nightmare
A deep incision to my affliction
Say it wasn't real to make this easier
Say it's all just a fucking dream to make this easier
This chapter comes to conclusion
A brand new page, a brand new day
For now I know, now I know
I'm never coming home
Fuck the memories
That use to be the air that I breathe
Now it's choking me
Looking back in my head just makes me think fuck
Now it's choking me
I'll watch you fucking dissolve
Today I shake your shadow
I'll watch you wither away to nothing




I'll watch you wither away, I watch you wither
I'm never coming home, never coming home

Overall Meaning

This song Dissipate by Saviours reflects on a lost love and the aftermath of the end of that relationship. The lyrics are poignant and heart-wrenching, peppered with imagery and emotions that evoke a sense of loss and longing. The singer looks back at the life they shared with the former lover, calling it home, and reminisces about the bittersweet memories that they now watch dissipate. But they also feel helpless as they see those memories slip through their fingers, unable to hold on to them.


The song also hints at the changing nature of love and relationships, how the heart changes with the passing seasons, and how one partner can turn their back on the other without a second thought. But despite the pain and heartbreak, the singer is determined to move on, to be fine on their own, even if they wish forgetting was easier. The shadow of the former lover seems to loom large over them, darkening the days, and they quietly die in their loneliness.


But the song also ends on a note of hope, as the singer finally comes to the conclusion that they are never coming home. The memories that used to be the air they breathed now only choke them, and they will watch the former lover dissolve away into nothingness. The brand new day and the brand new page signify a fresh start, a chance to move on from the past and embrace a new future.
