Better Save Yourself Lyrics

Cover art for Better Save Yourself lyrics by Chris Bell

The darkest, most suffocating song on Chris Bell's album...it's about regreting decisions at a key point when it's far too late to do anything about it...certainly one of the worst realizations anyone can have (and they often do have). The song laments never worshipping jesus, and therefore never saving yourself. It's about repentance. I don't take it literally as in I should have been a Christian, more like, crap I have no safety net and my soul's gone wrong, now I'm screwed.

It also feels like it's about the shallowness of 'saving yourself' out of a desire to not go to hell and not out of integrity.

'I just can't think what I've been wrong' pretty much deftly sums up the entire state of being depressed, down and out.
