Never Sleep
Saviour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The light beside my bed
The night I wished I was dead
And I will never fall asleep
(And I will never fall asleep)
'Cause you were that whisper in my head
The light beside my bed
The night I wished I was dead
(And I will never fall asleep)
So tell me
How did you forget me?
Like dΓ©jΓ -vu, speak untrue
I fucking hate the way you think you're unbreakable
'Cause you were that whisper in my head
The light beside my bed
The night I wished I was dead
And I will never fall asleep
(And I will never fall asleep)
Until the spark leaves my eyes
'Cause you were that whisper in my head
The light beside my bed
The night I wished I was dead
And I will never fall asleep
(And I will never fall asleep)
Pass me through your hearts turnstile
Make it worthwhile
Remind me of the days we spent just wasting days
Oh god, I think it's been awhile
Now I'm another lost kid, looking for my exit
Find my affidavit underneath my eye lids, fuck
(Oh god, I think it's been awhile)
So tell me
How did you forget me?
Like dΓ©jΓ -vu, speak untrue
I fucking hate the way you think you're invincible
Because you were that whisper in my head
The light beside my bed
The night I wished I was dead
And I will never fall asleep
And I will never fall asleep
Until the spark leaves my eyes
(It keeps burning and burning)
Burn on until I fade out
You haunt me forever again
I still feel you in my dreams
Burn on until I fade out
You haunt me forever again
I still feel you in my dreams
It's true
How am I supposed to breathe without you
I won't sleep
It's true
How am I supposed to breathe without you
I hate the way you talk
I hate the way you sleep right beside me
Even when you're not beside me
Even when I'm on my own
Even when I'm cold at home
Even when you fucked me over
You fucked me over
(Even when you fucked me over)
Even when you fucked me over
'Cause you were that whisper in my head
The light beside my bed
The night I wished I was dead
And I will never fall asleep
(And I will never fall asleep)
'Cause you were that whisper in my head
The light beside my bed
The night I wished I was dead
And I will never fall asleep
(And I will never fall asleep)
The lyrics to Saviour's song "Never Sleep" express the pain and longing of someone who has been hurt deeply by someone they loved. The person they loved was "that whisper in my head, the light beside my bed, the night I wished I was dead." But despite the pain they caused, the singer can't seem to forget them. They are haunted by their memory, feeling their presence even when they're not there.
The chorus of "Never Sleep" declares that the singer will never fall asleep because they are consumed by thoughts of this person. Their spark will never leave their eyes as long as they remember them. The second verse asks the person who hurt them how they could forget them, and expresses frustration with their perceived arrogance and invincibility.
The bridge of the song yearns for a happier time when the two of them could waste days together, but acknowledges that it has been a long time since then. The final verse expresses a mix of hatred and longing for the person who hurt them, saying that even when they are on their own, they are still haunted by their presence.
Overall, "Never Sleep" is a powerful and emotional portrayal of the aftermath of a painful relationship. The lyrics show how difficult it can be to move on from someone who has hurt you deeply, and how their memory can continue to haunt you long after they are gone.

The background, repeating, romantic cleans sung in a melancholy, almost nihilistic tone that fight the aggressive, almost desperate growls. The heavy, down tuned guitars mixed with storytelling melodies. I Love this band. They know what they do better than anyone else.
@willkateley9938
Fucking Emotionπ₯
@coolcatsrthebest4056

@MikelMetalYoung
I like how the guitar melodies, the screams and the cleans intertwine. Just overall the song feels very well balanced. Every new Saviour song is quite refreshing.
@CammyArrSxS
Exactly!!
@bluejaffa
I agree, but the chap really needs to sort out his vocal lines. Just seems all over the place. Like he is trying to cram it into meters.
