Save Today
Seether Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well fortune favor's not the young
Spoken word's and song's unsung, right?
I never learned from my mistakes
I guess I don't have what it takes, right?
I wish that I was strong, that I could walk away
All this time I've lost, I feel the cost repaid

So save today, the secret's that you prayed for
And wait, cause we deserve it so much more
So save, the secret's that your prayed for, awake
I'll see you on the other side

A tortured soul have I become
It keep's me safe and leaves me numb, right?
'Cause in this dream I'm wide awake
The one I love I did forsake, right?
I wish that I was wrong, that you'll come home again
All this time I've lost, I'll never find again

So save today, the secret's that you prayed for
And wait, cause we deserve it so much more
So save, the secret's that you prayed for, awake
I'll see you on the other side

Say you can help me now

So save today, the secret's that you prayed for
And wait, cause we deserve it so much more
So save, the secret's that you prayed for, awake
I'll see you on the other side

So save today, the secret's that you prayed for
And wait, cause we deserve it so much more




So save, the secret's that you prayed for, awake
I'll see you on the other side

This song played in the remembrance slideshow for our son's memorial. He was 30 when he passed in Jan 2019 from alcohol abuse. It's left a huge hole in our hearts. He would have been 35 today. Happy birthday big guy! We miss you!

I lost my wife of 12 yrs June 22, 2019 I hear this and it's automatic tears, but still the scents of hope and to do better as a person bcuz of the lack of the precious time we are given. Stay Strong and Keep going, Nothing lasts 4ever. Finding the way 2 accept that is hard, but find a way 2 keep those negative thoughts and sadness a bay.

@chrisharness3419

One of the best life experiences I ever had was getting to be in this video with my wife. Such a great band and genuine human beings. Still shocked at it 5 years later!
