Shinedown - Save Me

July 5, 2006Stephen Ward

While I can’t say I’m a huge fan of Shinedown, I thought Save Me was a great song. It’s hard to put a finger on what makes it worth turning up the radio. It’s got thick, almost poetic symbolism throughout the whole song, which gives it a feeling of depth even though it’s difficult to understand what the whole thing means. I suppose the title could have been more original; I’m definitely a bigger fan of Nickelback’s Savin’ Me. Still, the song is well worth listening to.

Save Me by Shinedown

I’ve got a candle
And I’ve got a spoon
I live in a hallway
With no doors and no rooms
Under the window sill
They all were found
A touch of concrete within a doorway
Without a sound

Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me, if you can
From the blasphemy in my wasteland

How did I get here
And what went wrong
Couldn’t handle forgiveness
Now I’m far beyond gone
And I can hardly remember
The look of my own eyes
How could I love this
A life so dishonest
It made me compromise

Jump in the water
Jump in with me
Jump on the altar
Lay down with me
My hardest question
Too answer is why

Some one save me
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
Please don’t erase me
