Lord Save Me From Myself Lyrics

My mind is dull and faded
From these years of buy and sell
My eyes have seen the glory
Of this hollow, modern shell

And sex is a grand production
But I'm bored with that as well
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Lord save me from myself

The electric sun keeps shining
Ripen daughters of the chrome
Yea, this world is where I breathe
Let it never be called home

Where the vultures make the money
Is where our bodies fell
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Lord save me from myself

The vultures make the money
Yea, I'm bored with that as well
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Lord save me from myself

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is about materialism. It's not against capitalism(which is a beautiful thing), but against the constant drive to get more. The cutthroats in big business who do whatever it takes to get more money. Those whose life is driven by obtaining more and more. The obsession with sex, shiny new toys, big city. Foreman's obviously bored with all this because it's hollow and temporal. Yet Foreman knows that he to falls prey to materialism, so he's pleading with God to save him from himself and focus his eyes on eternity rather than the temporal earth which should never be our home.
