Save You
Zim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He likes my vibe because he knows that I'm a fuck up
Fuck the vibe I'm just a crazy motherfucker
Codeine ain't really poppin', I'm allergic to my troubles
Swiped into different cars but got the same feelin' after
Moved to pull my bullshit, I'm just livin', what's the matter?
You got pretty woman slippin', caught up in the vision
Gotta understand you trippin',
But some cheese shit
So close you couldn't make it
But baby I'm not hatin'
But your words ain't really sayin' shit
Cut her off
You know you've had enough
I'm troubling too much
But you know that I'm the one
Doin' everything I want
But I still complain too much
What the fuck?
He said
Can I really save you? (Can I really save you?)
'Cuz I don't really want to (I don't really want to)
Don't wanna have to play you (Do I have to play you?)
And I'm not finna tell the whole truth
Did I say a bit too much with the discussion, eatin' lunch?
I feel bad about it
Can you think around it
Is it somethin' I should say?
Spendin' more when I'm awake
Can you help me make my day?
I want six figures just like JAY
So let me start it off
Then you can finish
I know I'm kinda young but I'm legal, what's the difference?
Got a car and I got Bud, let's be out road trippin'
An action packed vibin', if you leave 'em gonna miss it
Smokin' hits the most when you're alone and I've been told, yeah
These niggas want the best so keep ya head up on your shoulders
Do what you do but keep your heart from gettin' colder
Can I really save you?
'Cuz I don't really want to
Don't wanna have to play you
And I'm not finna tell the whole truth
But I can't do it sober
Else the party will be over
Stop, she really gonna do it
3 to 15, these shots are gonna move it
I wanna sit down but I think he might know it
A fight break out like it's right on cue
"You're the only one I've ever known, I'm focusing on you"
You tell me this now but that ain't nothin' new
He wasn't gonna save me but I should've been knew
In Zim's song "Save You," the lyrics discuss the singer's struggle with their own behavior and the consequences that come with it. The line "Takes cover but he ain't undercover" suggests that the singer is trying to hide their true self, but it's not working. The next few lines reveal that the person they're talking to likes them regardless of their flaws; however, the singer doesn't see the point of pretending to be anything other than what they are. In the following verse, they talk about their addiction to codeine and how it's not really helping them cope with their problems. But as the song progresses, they become more optimistic about their situation, expressing a desire to make changes and improve their life. The final lines of the song reveal that the singer knows they can't rely on someone else to save them; they have to do it themselves.
Throughout the song, there's a sense of vulnerability present, as the singer exposes their inner thoughts and struggles. They express a desire to be honest with themselves and others, even if it's uncomfortable or difficult. The song's message seems to be that change is possible, but it requires a willingness to confront one's flaws and a determination to overcome them.

Takes cover but he ain't undercover
He tries to hide but isn't very good at it
He likes my vibe because he knows that I'm a fuck up
He's attracted to me because he knows I'm reckless
Fuck the vibe I'm just a crazy motherfucker
I don't care about appearances, I'm just wild
Codeine ain't really poppin', I'm allergic to my troubles
Drugs don't actually numb my pain and I'm overwhelmed
Swiped into different cars but got the same feelin' after
I tried to change things up but still felt the same
Moved to pull my bullshit, I'm just livin', what's the matter?
I can't control my reckless behavior but it's just who I am
You got pretty woman slippin', caught up in the vision
You're distracted by a pretty girl
Gotta understand you trippin',
You need to realize you're acting crazy
Understandin' other bitches wasn't nothin'
Flirting with other girls didn't mean anything
But some cheese shit
It was just meaningless flirting
So close you couldn't make it
You were almost there but didn't quite make it
But baby I'm not hatin'
I'm not trying to be mean
But your words ain't really sayin' shit
You're not being clear with your words
Cut her off
End the conversation
You know you've had enough
You've reached your limit
I'm troubling too much
My reckless behavior is causing problems
But you know that I'm the one
Despite my issues, you know I'm the person for you
Doin' everything I want
I'm living life on my own terms
But I still complain too much
I still have things to complain about even though I'm living freely
What the fuck?
Expressing frustration and confusion
Can I really save you? (Can I really save you?)
Asking if I can make a positive impact on your life
'Cuz I don't really want to (I don't really want to)
Admitting that I'm not sure if I'm ready for that responsibility
Don't wanna have to play you (Do I have to play you?)
Not wanting to lead someone on or manipulate them
And I'm not finna tell the whole truth
I'm not going to reveal everything to you
Did I say a bit too much with the discussion, eatin' lunch?
Did I reveal too much during our casual conversation over lunch?
I feel bad about it
I regret saying too much
Can you think around it
Can you let it go and look past it?
Is it somethin' I should say?
Should I have kept it to myself?
Spendin' more when I'm awake
I spend more money while I'm conscious
Can you help me make my day?
Can you make my day better or brighter?
I want six figures just like JAY
I want to be wealthy like Jay Z
So let me start it off
Let me begin the process of making money
Then you can finish
You can help me reach my goal too
I know I'm kinda young but I'm legal, what's the difference?
I may be young, but I'm legally an adult, so age doesn't matter
Got a car and I got Bud, let's be out road trippin'
I have a car and marijuana, so let's go on a road trip
An action packed vibin', if you leave 'em gonna miss it
An exciting adventure, and if you don't come, you'll miss out
Smokin' hits the most when you're alone and I've been told, yeah
Smoking weed is most enjoyable when you're by yourself, or so I've heard
These niggas want the best so keep ya head up on your shoulders
Some guys want the best things, so you need to stay alert and cautious
Do what you do but keep your heart from gettin' colder
Stay true to yourself but don't let your heart become hardened
But I can't do it sober
I need to be under the influence to handle my problems
Else the party will be over
If I don't have any drugs or alcohol, the fun stops
Stop, she really gonna do it
Wait, she's really going to do that?
3 to 15, these shots are gonna move it
If I take three to fifteen shots, I'll definitely be intoxicated
I wanna sit down but I think he might know it
I want to take a break but I don't want him to judge me
A fight break out like it's right on cue
A fight happens at the perfect time
"You're the only one I've ever known, I'm focusing on you"
I'm committing to you because you're the only person I've ever been with
You tell me this now but that ain't nothin' new
This isn't the first time you've made this claim
He wasn't gonna save me but I should've been knew
He wasn't going to be my savior and I should have realized that before now
