Undead
Saviour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting my whole life
To turn my days off repeat
To feel alive
To feel my heartbeat
I've been waiting my whole life
Just to feel the sun shine on my skin
And I know I don't deserve it's presence
But today I didn't burst into flames
I found a brand new life
I found a reason to wake up
I feel so undead
I'm so undead
Because of you
(I can feel your heartbeat)

(The way) The way
(You stared) I stared
(The words that were spoken)
(I'm already too broken)
(I'm already too broken)
And will try my best
I know I can fix you
I know I can fix you
I know it's true
(And the way) The way
(You cared) I cared
(The words that were spoken)
I know I can fix you
I've been waiting my whole life

I feel the sun shine on my skin
I feel undead
And I know I don't deserve it's presence
But today I didn't burst into flames
I found a brand new life
I found a reason to wake up
I feel undead
I feel so undead because of you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Saviour's song "Undead" convey a sense of longing and desperation for a meaningful life. The singer has been waiting for their entire life to find something that makes them feel alive, to escape the monotony of existence. The repetition of the phrase "I've been waiting my whole life" emphasizes the depth of the singer's yearning. They desire to feel the sun on their skin, a simple pleasure that they feel they do not deserve. However, the presence of someone special, represented by the line "Because of you," has given them a reason to wake up and a newfound sense of purpose.


The second verse reveals that the singer is broken and that they intend to fix the person who has had such a transformative impact on their life. This sentiment is repeated twice for emphasis, illustrating the depth of the singer's commitment. Once again, the repetition of "I know I can fix you" emphasizes the singer's belief in their ability to help. The song's powerful chorus returns, with the line "I feel so undead because of you" driving home the extent to which they owe their transformation to their companion. The final repetition of the line "I feel undead" takes on a more positive connotation, indicating that the singer's existence is now imbued with vitality that they didn't previously possess.

Criminally underrated album, a masterpiece for the genre - perfectly captures a mix of my youthful emotions of bliss, love, loss, and coming to terms with how fleeting any of it is in this life.
