Save Yourself

"We're our own dragons as well as our own heroes and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves." -Tom Robbins

This song kicks fucking ass.

I absolutely love these lyrics.

I think the song is basically about someone turning to you to make them whole Yet....like the lyrics say - "I'm just as fucked as you" lol But truth be told...no love or person can make u whole..you gotta do that yourself. Reason why the song is so true and great!

This is the interpretation from an A.I.: ""Save Yourself," a song by Stabbing Westward, primarily addresses themes of self-reliance and personal responsibility in the face of emotional distress or adversity. The first verse depicts an individual who is struggling with feelings of loneliness and emptiness; they're searching for someone to help them overcome their challenges but recognize that others can only be sources of support rather than solutions themselves (indicated by "So just save yourself"). The chorus, a recurring motif throughout the song, reinforces this notion – asserting the futility and unrealistic expectations in seeking salvation from external forces when one's primary focus should instead lie on their own self-preservation. It emphasizes how individuals must first address their internal struggles before expecting to find solace elsewhere ("I can't even save myself!"). This sentiment is further explored in the second verse where both parties (the singer and the listener) are acknowledged as damaged, implying a shared understanding of personal shortcomings that cannot be resolved by attempting to 'save' someone else. This mutual acknowledgment underlines self-acceptance - an essential step towards true progression or healing from past traumas or emotional burdens ("I am just as fucked as you"). The third verse highlights the value of solitude in dealing with personal struggles; it suggests that rather than seeking pity and dependence on others, individuals should embrace their loneliness if necessary because ultimately, they hold the power to save themselves from the pain they endure. The chorus flips this perspective at its climax by placing the responsibility back onto the other person – further driving home the message of personal agency in overcoming adversity ("You cannot save me...Save yourself!"). Overall," Save Yourself" is a poignant exploration into themes related to self-reliance, emotional resilience, and accepting one's imperfections while encouraging listeners not to rely solely on others for salvation from their inner turmoils. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of focusing inwardly to foster growth amidst adversity."

wow. this so is sooo great. I think its talking about how lots of ppl have been through bad expieriences in their lives and its talking about how I know you've been hurt and u need my help, but I cant help because I've been through the same crap and can't save myself. or something to that degree. Not to sure. Still think its a great song!

This song is pretty self-explanitory. This is a really great song, though.

to me this song is about how people are asking you for help for thinhs and your just like hell why ask me i need help 2. Death kinda said this so basically im just agreeing with him. I also think that a big part of this song is saying i didnt ask to help you, im going through it by myself, why dont you try it, dont come to me with your crap.

i agree with you both! and this song is sooo good! -evol
