Pressure and Composure
Saviour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They only catch us if we slow down
So take my hand cause stitches are for bitches man

We are all so capable of great things
Just incapable to believe it
Maybe we're defeated

If you don't want to go, don't go
If you want to stay lets stay
If you want to fuckin drown then drown but take me with you

Do you feel the pressure?
I need composure

They said the world was mine to conquer
Then why does it feel like it's conquering me?

We are all so capable of great things
Just incapable to believe it
Maybe we can beat it

If you want to go, lets go
If you want to run, let's run
If you want to fuckin fly away please take me with you

Do you feel the pressure?
I need composure

They said the world was mine to conquer
Then why does it feel like it's conquering me?

They can only catch us if we slow down
So take my hand cause stitches are for bitches man

A pocket full of dreams and a tank full of gas
We should getaway
We should leave today

They'll never catch us
So take my hand cause stitches are for bitches man

They said the world was mine to conquer
Then why does it feel like it's conquering me?





Why does it feel like it's conquering me?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song “Pressure and Composure” by Saviour talk about the struggles of dealing with the pressure of life, and wanting to overcome it while also seeking comfort in the company of someone else. The opening lines, “They only catch us if we slow down, So take my hand cause stitches are for bitches man” suggest that the pressure of life is always on the run, and the only way to cope is to keep moving forward with someone by your side, rather than slowing down and letting the pressure catch up.


The second verse states that every person is capable of achieving great things but is unable to recognize their potential. They feel defeated and incapable, which leads to a lack of confidence in their abilities. However, they hope that they can eventually get past these obstacles and reach their full potential despite feeling overwhelmed.


The chorus, “Do you feel the pressure? I need composure” suggests that the artist is looking for support to manage the pressure and anxiety that they are experiencing. They want someone to hold their hand and help them find their balance in life. The ending lines, “They’ll never catch us, So take my hand cause stitches are for bitches man” signify that with the support of someone else, they can conquer the pressures of life and achieve their dreams.


Overall, the song is about acknowledging the difficulties in life, but also recognizing the power in human connection and the support we can provide each other.

I can't say I fully understand why I love all of their songs, but I'm starting to think there's just a surprising genuineness to their music. Even though they cover somewhat cliche and overdone topics, they approach it with such genuine emotion that it's hard not to get caught up. Not to mention all of the music is perfectly put together.

sigendymion

Cliche?!

Sailor1010

It’s like a painting. They’ve added the perfect amounts of layers of color. From the beautiful melodies and the perfectly crafted aggression. The solid production is the cherry on the top. Those kicks slap at the perfect times. Its art, man.

When your hear his voice, when you hear the screams, the pain and how bleak he seems to be, you cannot say metal is just noise... I've found my family <3

Lennin Espinosa

@Etienne Grizz I think its smooth metal or atleast nu metal. Its not heavy in the drums but definitely by vocals ans guitar. I think Nu metal follows that much more I could be wrong.

peter goessens

Metalcore it is. Nevermund this person. If you feel good with this music, then that's your right!

Death sama

this is just soft metal still being metal is kinda like the stuff linkin park do (in terms of gender)

jdeviant

@Etienne Grizz It's metal, he's just a knobber. If you want to be technical it's more metalCORE or a variation on Hardcore but really if you say it's metal only knobber will disagree.

I'm fucking with these guys. Making music that you constantly want to listen to over the years is worth a lot
