About This Track

‘Save Me’ by Muse is an alternative track from ‘The 2nd Law’ released in 2012. The lyrics are a plea to escape self-made constraints, trading superstitions and “soul’s condition” for a promised freedom that still feels fragile. There is a sense of denial and drowning, alongside the desire to be remade by another presence, with promises dismissed as unreliable. The narrator waits, holds on, and tries to shift from being trapped and sure of their own unworthiness into something like acceptance, even as the wording suggests it is a struggle in real time.

"Save Me" is a track by Muse, from the album The 2nd Law, released 25th September 2012. The track is 5:09 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 19 articles about Muse.

Lyrics

Save Me

Save me from my superstitions
Now I'm free from this soul's condition
Wait just a while
And I'll greet you with a smile
Hold me 'cause I'm sure I'm hated
Promises they are overrated
Wait just a while
While I'm drowning in denial
Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need your rescue
Watch me 'cause I'm on a mission
Hold me back so I'm forced to listen
Don't let me go 'cause I'm nothing without you
Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need you rescue
Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need your rescue
