| Rise Against – Savior Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song is about a guy who is reflecting on a long lost love. The first verse is the present, where time has passed by for so long that crystal clear details have completely faded, but he still recognizes that he did/does really love that girl and is lost without her. The second verse takes us to the beginning of the breakup. The relationship is tearing them up inside, and no matter what they do or say, things just aren't going to get better. The repeating chorus lines are them letting out their intentions. He's asking how to let go when she is leaving him(she probably used not loving him as an excuse to leave but she's actually doing it she DOES love him), she's telling him she isn't leaving because she hates him she just doesn't want to see him hurting anymore, and he is realizing that he wants to be with her but he doesn't think he'll be able to give her what she needs. The middle verse is when it falls apart. It's an inevitable moment that he can't change, and they come to an understanding that this will always be with them even though they are going their separate ways. The last solo verse is back in the present. Things have been over for a long time but he still has so many doubts and what ifs. He understands that there was too much working against them for the relationship to work, but it doesn't stop him from feeling the unbearable pain of losing the love of his life. I don't hate you, I don't hate you no. He keeps telling himself they had a good reason for breaking up, but it still rings hollow when he reflects on it. |

While I think the guy is longing for what they had I think a lot of the focus is on the other person prett y much repeating the same thing over and over, without success. I can relate to dating that kind of person who is so dumbstruck by love when they find someone new that they fooloshly claim it's the most amazing person they've ever met, they can't live without them, etc. But eventually the sparkle starts to fade and when it's all said and done they pretend that the love and overwhelming feeling never really existed, and then they move onto the next person and claim they are the only person they ever felt this way about. He wants it to be that way forever, but he realizes that she moved on to another person and is going through the same old motions without even acknowleding the love they had. |
