Stabbing Westward - Save Yourself

My wife and I first heard clips of this song on previews for The Covenant and immediately knew that we had to put it in our collection. I’m not entirely sure if it counts as techno or just heavy metal with some techno influence (an indistinct genre that my wife and I lovingly refer to as “psycho killer music”). Whatever you want to call it, it’s definitely great music. Having never heard of Stabbing Westward before, I’m not sure whether to expect more of the same or if they’ll turn out to be one-hit wonders.

Save Yourself by Stabbing Westward

I know your life is empty
And you hate to face this world alone
So you’re searching for an angel
Someone who can make you whole
I can not save you
I can’t even save myself
So just save yourself

I know that you’ve been damaged
Your soul has suffered such abuse
But I am not your savior
I am just as fucked as you
I am just as fucked as you
I can not save you
I can’t even save myself
So just save yourself

Please don’t take pity on me
Please don’t take pity on me
Please don’t take pity on me
Please don’t take pity on me

My life has been a nightmare
My soul is fractured to the bone
And if I must be lonely, I think I’d rather be alone
I think I’d rather be alone

You can not save me
You can’t even save yourself
I can not save you
I can’t even save myself
Save yourself
So just save yourself
