With keen pop sensibilities, a skewed sense of humour and a willingness to draw inspiration from diverse sources (notably punk rock), Therapy? came to attention in the early 1990s rise of alternative rock, but have endured for more than a decade since; Critic Johnny Loftus writes, "After a ten-plus year career that has seen them outlast competitors and outwit industry attempts at categorization, Therapy? are still headbangers with their thinking caps screwed on tight."

Save the Sermon
Therapy? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So hopeless
Don't care less
Oh, what's it to you?
Your lost cause
Your project
My faith has left
It's a ride, save the sermon
It's a ride, save the sermon
Our paths they
Don't cross much
You in your corner
I in mine
I like this
Space and distance
Don't waste your time
'cos I cherish mine
I cherish mine
It's a ride, save the sermon
It's a ride, save the sermon
It's a ride, save the sermon
It's a ride
It's a ride, save the sermon
It's a ride, save the sermon
It's a ride, save the sermon
It's a ride, it's a ride
It's a ride, it's a ride
It's a ride
The lyrics in Therapy?'s "Save the Sermon" convey feelings of detachment and a desire for independence. The singer seems to be at a point in their life in which they don't want to be constantly preached to or lectured. They feel helpless and hopeless - as if they are a lost cause. They don't care what others think about them or their actions, and they would rather not waste time listening to advice they feel is unnecessary. They value their personal space and independence, and they find comfort in separation from others.
The chorus, "It's a ride, save the sermon," is a simple phrase that encapsulates the singer's attitude. They're essentially telling anyone who tries to preach to them that life is a journey, and they just want to enjoy the ride. The song is both an expression of frustration and a call for others to respect their independence. The theme will resonate with anyone who has felt overwhelmed by the expectations and opinions of others.
