god save me but don't drown me out
Yungblud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Calm me down, before I sleep
'Cause I don't know where I've just been
And the morning seems so far away
And the drugs just hit, so I'm wide awake

Not gonna waste my life, 'cause I've been fucked up
'Cause it doesn't matter
So, waste my time, and God save all of us
And the walls, they'll shatter
And I won't let my insecurities
Define who I am, I am
Not gonna waste my life, 'cause I've been fucked up
'Cause it doesn't matter

Take a breath and try to think straight
'Cause there's so much pressure on my fuckin' brain
And my blood runs thin 'cause I'm off my face
And my shoulders weigh more than I can take
(I can't fucking take it)

Not gonna waste my life, 'cause I've been fucked up
'Cause it doesn't matter
So, waste my time, and God save all of us
And the walls, they'll shatter
And I won't let my insecurities
Define who I am, I am
Not gonna waste my life, 'cause I've been fucked up
'Cause it doesn't matter

God save, God save all of us
God save, God save all of us
God save, God save all of us
God save, God save all of us
God save, God save all of us




God save, God save all of us (and I finally know)
God save, God save all of us (and I finally know)
God save, God save all of us (someone else silent, you too)
God save, God save all of us (and I finally know)

Not gonna waste my life, 'cause I've been fucked up
'Cause it doesn't matter
So, waste my time, and God save all of us
And the walls, they'll shatter
And I won't let my insecurities
Define who I am, I am
Not gonna waste my life, 'cause I've been fucked up
'Cause it doesn't matter

Goodnight, everybody
See you tomorrow
I could think we might be alright, you know
Oh fuck

Overall Meaning

Yungbludā€™s ā€œGod save me but don't drown me outā€ is a song about battling with oneā€™s personal demons, trying to find a way out and not letting insecurities define who you are. The opening lines, ā€œCalm me down, before I sleep/ 'Cause I don't know where I've just been,ā€ suggests the singer is lost, unsure of himself and needs help finding his way back. The mention of drugs and their effects (ā€œAnd the drugs just hit, so I'm wide awakeā€), indicate that he may be self-medicating to deal with the pressures and stress of life.


The repeated line ā€œNot gonna waste my life, 'cause I've been fucked up/ 'Cause it doesn't matterā€ suggests that heā€™s been through difficult times, but itā€™s not going to determine his future. He wants to break free from his insecurities, be his own person, and not allow anyone or anything to hold him back. The line, ā€œAnd the walls, they'll shatter,ā€ is a powerful metaphor suggesting he is breaking down any barriers that prevent him from achieving his dreams.


In the end, the song is a cry for help, a call out to anyone who might be listening, for courage and strength to overcome personal obstacles. The line, ā€œGod save, God save all of us,ā€ is symbolic of a need for divine intervention, a savior to help with the struggles of life.

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid ā€“ repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware ā€“ Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 ā€“ rise of the ā€œ man of peaceā€œ from the east = Antichrist ā€“ the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust ā€žpopeā€œ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope ā€“ will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
