Your Saviour Lyrics
People like you, I know myself
Walk in the shoes of somebody else
Whisper to me, my tragic fate
Whisper to me, my tragic end
But don't give me your savior
People I choose, life on my own
Burn me your fuse, throw me your stones
Give me your brand, burn on my hand
Whisper to me, my tragic end
But don't give me your savior
People I choose, I know myself
Lay my need out, give you my help
But you give me your blues
And you whisper my fate
But don't give me your savior
Walk in the shoes of somebody else
Whisper to me, my tragic fate
Whisper to me, my tragic end
But don't give me your savior
Burn me your fuse, throw me your stones
Give me your brand, burn on my hand
Whisper to me, my tragic end
But don't give me your savior
Lay my need out, give you my help
But you give me your blues
And you whisper my fate
But don't give me your savior

It's a tribute to Andrew Wood his close friend from the band Mother Love Bone and Malfunkshun who died from complications of a heroin overdose. Temple of the dog was a tribute to Andrew who was fighting a battle with heroin addiction. The song is about poor Andrew (Landrew Lovechild) R.I.P you beautiful souls Chris and Landrew. Hope you're together in heaven. ????????
yep pretty much, he's telling the people who try to tell him what to believe to piss off.
this is my fav song by temple of the dog maybe its about people preaching to him? and he wants nothing to do with it?
Good song. :) The last minute or so kicks. I'd say led zeppelin xxx got it.
Basically "I'll listen to your story, tell me what you think is gonna happen to me, but I know myself and what I believe/I don't care" that's what I got anyway. Pretty ace song.
About life's choices and being cast down by the one's who are taught that they are forgiven, yet they can't forgive others. These same people think salvation is a private club. This song is about them.
anyone know what is being sung at the end? its my favorite part...sounds soo good
What's being sung at the end, from what I can tell from repeated listenings at high volume with headphones:
Whisper, hide your face. Cry, hide your face. Whisper, hide your face. Cry, hide your face. Whisper, hide your face. Cry, hide your face. Whisper.
He's saying "hide your pain" (in keeping with the theme of the song and the deliberately ambiguous audio at the end).
Yes, that's right.
He's saying Myyyyyy my own fate...whisper my own fate.
He's saying Myyyyyy my own fate...whisper my own fate.
