Savior of Nothing Lyrics

Now you've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now

When you were a young one
They tormented you
They could always find a way to make you feel ashamed
Now that you are older
Everything they put you through
Left you with an anger that just cannot be contained

So you spend every day of your life
Always searching for something to set
You on fire

Now you've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now

Everywhere around you
You find reasons to
Turn into a warrior to protect what you believe
But you think their beliefs
Make them less than you
And that is a delusion that your sickness has conceived

Now you spend every day of your life
Always hoping that something will spark
That desire

Now you've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now

Now you've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now
You've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now

Down with the Sickness

Now you've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now

So you spend every day of your life
Always searching for something to set
You on fire

Now you've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now

Everywhere around you
You find reasons to
Turn into a warrior to protect what you believe
But you think their beliefs
Make them less than you
And that is a delusion that your sickness has conceived

Now you spend every day of your life
Always hoping that something will spark
That desire

Now you've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now

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.

A wake up call to someone who has gone so far to prove their point or claim they are right that they've become what they were trying to fight against.

The mentions of "Turn into a warrior to protect what you believe" and "But you think their beliefs | Make them less than you" suggests it may be referring to social justice warriors championing against the things they obviously do themselves, but it could be broadened to include any extreme groups that go too far.

I believe this song is a message from Republicans and Democrats, Liberals and Conservatives, social justice warriors and anti-social justice warriors, that sort of thing. All of these group bash their opponents for things they do themselves. They're all hypocrites. So, if you're on one side or another, even if you win the fight, you're just doing and going to continue to do the same things you bashed them for doing. All of these groups think that they are the saviors of mankind, but they are really the saviors of nothing.
