Save Me
The Angels Lyrics

Wrong notes, old frustrating used quotes
The repetition of old, uninspired ideas and quotes is unhelpful and frustrating in moving forward.

men with pencils making copious notes
People in power are obsessively making notes, perhaps to maintain control or remember details for later use.

out in the dark, cut the far left wing
Cutting off marginalized groups or ideas, even in secret or through dishonest tactics, is a continued problem.

an old man shaking a sheet of tin
A futile and desperate attempt to produce sound and impact, perhaps representing the struggle for relevance or power in old age.

judgment's fallen, the well spawned webs
The consequences of actions and the intricate web of connections and power dynamics can have far-reaching effects.

pictures of old used bareness
The repetition and lack of creativity or originality in thought is exposed as empty and unhelpful in progress.

local priest still holds the floor
Religious figures or institutions can maintain a dominant presence despite their outdated or harmful teachings and practices.

with the same old lines from the time before
The continued repetition of the same ideas and rhetoric without any innovation or new insight is stunting growth and progress.

Don't you know when I've had enough
It can be frustrating and detrimental to constantly have to deal with the same old problems or people without any real solutions or progress.

laugh it off, ain't that tough
The difficulty of dealing with these issues can be eased through humor and a lighthearted perspective.

I like to be alone
Sometimes the only way to escape these frustrating and exhausting situations is to be alone and have some peace and quiet.

want to be alone, just to be alone
The desire for isolation and solitude is not necessarily born out of anger or bitterness, but rather a need for space and reflection.

Sacred profession still guards the walls
Even seemingly benevolent or spiritual professions can be protective of maintaining power and control within their institutions.

but my castle keeps guarantees the fall
The false sense of security and invincibility can often lead to an eventual downfall and reveal the flaws and corruption within any system.

selling souls for a mean half truth
The corruption and deception within powerful institutions can be damaging and hurtful to those involved, and even lead to sacrificing one's own values and morals.

but the power and the king shared the palace roof
There can often be collaboration and complicity even between those who seem to be opposing forces or ideologies, who all benefit from maintaining the status quo.

welcome flowers lead a funeral train
Even seemingly positive or joyful celebrations or traditions can mask the sorrow and grief of the underlying struggles and challenges.

when you're out in the desert don't you pray for me
When faced with difficulties and struggles, don't rely on external forces or prayers, but rather take action and make changes yourself.

And they fool themselves
Those in power or holding onto harmful beliefs can be blinded by their own self-righteousness or privilege.

into thinking that they're talking about
These individuals may believe they are discussing important issues or making progress, but in reality they are merely repeating the same old rhetoric and ideas without any real impact or innovation.

that they never doubt it,
They may be so convinced of their own beliefs and ideas that they never consider any other perspectives or possibilities, leading to stagnation and an inability to adapt or grow.

want to be alone, just to be alone
Despite the frustrations and challenges, sometimes the best course of action is to retreat and find peace and solitude to reflect and recharge.

Save me
An appeal for help or salvation from the difficulties and challenges presented in the song's lyrics.
