Save Me a Place
Vetiver Lyrics

The lyrics to Vetiver's "Save Me a Place" seem to be about feeling lost and unsure about where one belongs in life. The first two lines express confusion and frustration about work and leisure, suggesting a feeling of being stuck or trapped. The next two lines seem to be a plea to not be pushed away by someone or something, perhaps representing a fear of rejection. The repeated chorus of "Save me a place" is a desire to be somewhere safe or comforting.

The second verse continues with the theme of uncertainty and the desire to be taken care of by someone else. The lines "I don't know why I want to go, I don't know why I can't stay" further evoke a sense of longing to belong somewhere, but not knowing where that place might be. The line "I guess I have to be alone, I guess I need to be erased" suggests a sense of resignation or defeat, a feeling of not fitting in anywhere.

The song ultimately conveys a sense of vulnerability and searching for love and acceptance. The repetition of the phrase "If you love me today" emphasizes the need for immediate reassurance and a temporary sense of security.
