Jaded
Saviour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We dont have to feel so jaded
We dont have to feel so
Bleak in my safest place
When morning comes Ill feel so cold
If morning comes Ill leave the light on
Illuminate my heart
The hardest part is feeling so damn close to the ground
And Ill admit that Im afraid
So there you fucking go
Now you know
Im afraid to let you go
Or let it show
So there you fucking go
Now you know
Im afraid so lets keep running and running and running
Running and running, run
We dont have to feel so jaded now
We never meant to hurt you but as our summer fades
See you slipping right through my fingers like sand
Im afraid to face this alone
Or are we flawed forever?
Ill take the blame for our mistakes
Or are we flawed forever?
Im afraid to face this alone
When I think about the good times
It takes me back to the day we first met
I never will let you go
We set our world on fire
So Ill be the spark to the fire
Ill set our world on fire
So burn like day one
We drenched our hearts in gasoline
And the view was serene
Like it mattered
Bleak in my safest place
When morning comes Ill stay the fuck in bed until it burns out
Because it burnt like my world was on fire
Like a bitch
Like a kid with a lighter
Like Joan of Arc
Like a bomb
Like a mother fucking H-bomb
Like a firework
Like the falling sun
Like a gun
Chick-chick-boom
Because it burnt like my world was on fire
Like a bitch
Like a kid with a lighter
Like Joan of Arc
Like a bomb
Like a mother fucking H-bomb
Like a firework
Like the falling sun
Like a gun
Chick-chick-boom
Take me back to the day we first met
Cause I dont feel like waking up today
Im shaking
I am careless
I am jaded and alone
I am careless
I am here
Im burning the leaves
Straight through the shadows
Planting the seeds
All on my own
I used to know you
I used to know you
I used to know you
Im burning the leaves
Straight through the shadows
Planting the seeds
All on my own
I used to know you
I used to know you




I used to know you
I used to know you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Saviour's song Jaded depict a sense of hopelessness and fear of being alone. The singer of the song admits to feeling jaded, but suggests that they don't have to feel that way, as long as they keep running and facing their fears. The pain of losing someone or something is also a central theme of the song, as the singer references memories of the past and the fear of facing the future alone. However, they also express a desire to take responsibility for any mistakes that led to the loss, and a willingness to be the "spark" that reignites the passion they once had.


The lyrics of Jaded evoke a visceral emotional response. The use of profanity in the first verse and repetition in the chorus add to the power and urgency of the song. The references to Joan of Arc and bombs suggest a grandiose and catastrophic sense of loss. The image of burning leaves and planting seeds can be interpreted as a metaphor for moving forward, even amidst the pain and destruction.

If a new day comes, I will still hold onto hope and keep the light on


Illuminate my heart
Light up my inner self and bring me out of darkness

I am jaded and alone
I am apathetic and desolate, with no one to turn to


I am here
I am present, but not truly engaged


Im burning the leaves
I am setting things on fire, both literally and metaphorically


Straight through the shadows
I am ignoring the darkness and moving straight through it


Planting the seeds
I am creating something new in the midst of destruction


All on my own
I am doing this alone, with no help from anyone else


I used to know you
I used to be connected to you and understand you


I used to know you
I used to be close to you and have a relationship


I used to know you
I used to have a deep and meaningful connection with you


Im burning the leaves
I am destroying everything, even the things I used to hold dear


Straight through the shadows
I am not hiding from the darkness anymore, but rather moving straight through it


Planting the seeds
I am starting anew and building something better from the ashes of the past


All on my own
I am doing this by myself, without anyone else's support or help


I used to know you
I used to have a true and genuine connection with you


I used to know you
I used to be close to you and care for you


I used to know you
I used to understand you and know how to make you happy

@StephanReed1

4:38 when I first heard this, years ago, I remember it being something so special it brought me to tears. To this day, I come back to this video, that part, to feel. Out of the wreckage comes something beautiful. In 2020, it means something different to me than it did before, but it still means the world.

I used to know you.
