don't SAVE ME
Willow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't really think that I can do it all alone
But I tell them, "Don't save me"
I was gonna leave, I was off it
But I don't really think that that's an option now
Gotta fight my own battles to get stronger
I just say, "Don't save me"

I don't really think that I can do it all alone
But I tell them, "Don't save me"
I was gonna leave, I was off it
But I don't really think that that's an option now
Gotta fight my own battles to get stronger
I just say, "Don't save me"

Don't save me
Don't save me

I don't really think that I can do it all alone




Don't save me
Don't save me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Willow's song "Don't Save Me" seem to convey a message of independence and self-determination.

Instead, she wants to fight her own battles and become stronger through these struggles.


The phrase "Don't save me" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the message of self-reliance and autonomy. This phrase can be seen as a rejection of the traditional gender roles and societal expectations that have historically placed women in vulnerable and subordinate positions, relying on men for protection and assistance. The song encourages listeners to stand on their own two feet, even if it means facing challenges alone.


The chorus of the song, "I don't really think that I can do it all alone, but I tell them, 'Don't save me'" highlights the complexity of the message, acknowledging the importance of support and community while maintaining an individualistic and assertive attitude.


Overall, "Don't Save Me" is a powerful anthem that promotes self-empowerment and resilience in the face of adversity.
