Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't save you (I can't save you)
You're stuck in your own mind (you're stuck in your own mind)
I can't save you (no, I can't)
You believe your own lies (you believe your own lies)
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You're trapped in your own mind
I can't save you (no, I can't)
You believe your own lies
I miss who you use to be
Fairy tales turn to mystery
I miss the way you looked at me
I miss who we use to be
You don't come to church like you use to
That ain't something that I can get used to
I've heard what you've been up to
Living your best life, that's your attitude
And this love can't save you
You are stuck in your own mind
And I can't save you
You believe your own lies
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You're stuck in your own mind (you're stuck in your own mind)
I can't save you (no, I can't)
You believe your own lies (you believe your own lies)
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You're trapped in your own mind
I can't save you (no, I can't)
You believe your own lies
I miss who you use to be
Your candy kisses comfort me
Things use to be differently
We both thought this was meant to be
Miss seeing you around like I use to
All of our old friends ask about you
You blame me for all your actions
But I'm not the cause of your bad habits
And I can't save you
You are stuck in your own mind
This love can't change you
You believe in your own lies
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You're stuck in your own mind (you're stuck in your own mind)
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You believe your own lies (you believe your own lies)
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You're trapped in your own mind (you're trapped in your own mind )




I can't save you
You believe your own lies

This set is euphoric, uplifting.

I love the way Marsh played with the sounds. At the middle of the set, I found myself dancing in my kitchen and then crying seconds later, I felt chills from head to toe. That is what trance is all about.

He also keeps the beat going throughout the entire set, and beautifully lowers it to kindly let you know it is over.

Every transition was very seamless, not only does it help your body flow freely while you're dancing, it also helps you release all the negative energy,.

Thank you for sharing and making amazing music, I can’t wait for more sets and songs to be released!!!!

Cheers!
