From the look in my eye, why didn't you just save me?
And all of my friends, Think I'm losing my mind.
I just can't believe I'm blinded by what I'd need,
It's like an empty space I need to fill the void.

When you looked in my eyes You knew I needed saving,
And when you saw me getting high Why didn't you come save me?

All of my life I've locked away my feelings,
And all of this time I've been living a lie.
I was so afraid, Pathetically misleading,
It was my empty space, a need to fill my void.

[Chorus]
When you looked in my eyes You knew I needed saving,
And when you saw me getting high Why didn't you come save me?
When I blamed you for my lies why didn't you just tell me?
Cause when I looked in my eyes, There's nothing there worth saving

Someone rescued me when I was sleeping, Somehow life went by when I was dreaming,
Someone rescued me when I was sleeping, In my dreams.

Save Me, why didn't you just save me?

[Chorus]

Save Me Why didn't you just save me?
Save Me Why didn't you just save me?

    My Interpretation

    Kelly Osbourne did say to a magazine that when she was on drugs, her friends and family knew and they didn't even stop her.

    "When you saw me getting high, why didn't you come save me?"

    I think this song is a message to those people who neveer stopped her getting on drugs.

    This sogn is probably a backlash on other people who were meant to have "saved her".

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
