About This Track

'Adore' by Savages is a 2016 alternative track from the album 'Adore Life'. The lyrics circle self-doubt and desire, weighing shame and lust against the question of whether it is human “to adore life”. There’s a repeated conditional, as if the speaker can only imagine peace through restraint, yet keeps returning to the insistence of loving life, even after regret.

"Adore" is a track by Savages, from the album Adore Life, released 22nd January 2016. The track is 5:03 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Adore

If only I didn't want the world
I wouldn't make you feel so sad
I'm sure my shame would be gone
Is it human to adore life?

If only I'd hidden my lust
And starved a little bit more
If only I didn't ask for more
Is it human to adore life?

I adore life

If only I'd lived beyond regret
I wouldn't feel guilt for what I take
Is it human to ask for more?
Is it human to adore life?

I know evil when I see it
I know good and I just do it
If I hadn't been so starved
Is it human to adore life?

I understand the urgency of life
In the distance there is truth which cuts like a knife
Maybe I will die maybe tomorrow, so I need to say
I adore life

If only I had been more shy
And hid every tear I cried
If only I didn't wish to die
Is it human to adore life?

If only I didn't care so much
For the feel of your cold, cold touch
In every bed I leave behind
Is it human to adore life?

I understand the urgency of life
In the distance there is truth which cuts like a knife
Maybe I will die maybe tomorrow, so I need to say
I adore life

I adore life

I adore life

I adore life

I adore life
Do you adore life?
I adore life
Do you adore life?

I adore life
Do you adore life?
I adore life
Do you adore life?

I adore life
Do you adore life?
I adore life
Do you adore life?

I adore life
Do you adore life?
I adore life
Do you adore life?
