Low
Wage War Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't keep on telling me that
I'm gonna pull through
When you don't know low like I do
Yah

I'm afraid of the things I don't say
The thoughts in my head that
Keep me tossing, turning, lying awake
Don't keep on telling me
That I'm gonna pull through
When you don't know low like I do

I've been running away again
I've been running away again

I've been running away again
Chasing after all the battles I can never win
I don't think that I can take much more
It feels like I've lost it all (Lost it all)
Who will save me when I can't save myself?

Hard to think we were born to live this way
Burning bridges, ripping stitches out to drown the pain
Bleed me out, run me dry, watch the hammer fall
Let the river run and bury me beneath it all

Bury me
Bury me beneath it all

I've been running away again
Chasing after all the battles I can never win
I don't think that I can take much more
It feels like I've lost it all (Lost it all)
Who will save me when I can't save myself?

Searching for answers
A cure for this cancer
It's all in my head
I'm one step from the edge

I've been running away again
Chasing after all the battles I can never win
I don't think that I can take much more
It feels like I've lost it all
I've been running away again
Chasing after all the battles I can never win
I don't think that I can take much more
It feels like I've lost it all (Lost it all)
Who will save me when I can't save myself?
(Save myself)
Who will save me when I can't save myself?
(Save me)





Who will save me when I can't save myself?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wage War's song "Low" reflect a struggle with mental health and the feeling of being misunderstood by others who try to offer support. The song starts with the repetition of a phrase that is common in such situations, "Don't keep on telling me that I'm gonna pull through when you don't know low like I do." The person feels that others cannot understand how low they are feeling, and words of encouragement do not help them.


The chorus further emphasizes the feeling of hopelessness and the desire to escape from the battles that the person feels they can never win. They feel like they have lost everything and are close to the edge. Despite searching for answers and a cure, they cannot find any relief, and the pain of their thoughts keeps them awake at night.


The bridge of the song speaks of the destructive nature of mental illness, how it causes people to burn bridges and hurt themselves. The person feels like they are drowning and they want to be buried beneath it all. The song ends with the repeated plea, "Who will save me when I can't save myself?"


Overall, "Low" is a powerful song that captures the struggle and pain that many people face with their mental health. It highlights the importance of understanding and empathy towards those who are going through such struggles rather than just offering empty words of support.


Line by Line Meaning

Don't keep on telling me that
Stop trying to convince me that everything will be fine


I'm gonna pull through
I will come out of this situation unscathed


When you don't know low like I do
You have not experienced the depths of despair that I have


I'm afraid of the things I don't say
I am scared of the thoughts that I keep secret


The thoughts in my head that
The negative ideas that plague my mind


Keep me tossing, turning, lying awake
Prevent me from sleeping peacefully


I've been running away again
I have been avoiding my problems once more


Chasing after all the battles I can never win
Pursuing fights that I am destined to lose


It feels like I've lost it all (Lost it all)
I feel like I have nothing left


Who will save me when I can't save myself?
I need someone to rescue me from my own darkness


Hard to think we were born to live this way
It is difficult to accept that our lives are destined for such struggles


Burning bridges, ripping stitches out to drown the pain
Destroying important relationships and reopening old wounds to numb the hurt


Bleed me out, run me dry, watch the hammer fall
Drain me of everything I have, as I expect to fail


Let the river run and bury me beneath it all
Allow the current to take me away and hide me from the world


Searching for answers
Looking for a way out


A cure for this cancer
A remedy to my pain


It's all in my head
My troubles are internal


I'm one step from the edge
I am on the brink of losing control


Save myself
Rescue myself from the abyss


Save me
Help me escape this pain and misery
