Nickelback - Savin' Me - About the song
Nickelback had more trouble penning this song than any other of the numerous tracks they've penned over the years. Chad Kroeger explained why it took the band six weeks to complete it:
"We had the verse and we knew the verse was good and then the chorus just kept kicking us into mediocreville. And it just wasn't coming around. So we rewrote and rewrote and rewrote and rewrote until one day, out of pure frustration, I was just like, 'God, we're just smashing our faces into the same wall over and over again! This is like some episode of the f---ing Twilight Zone! And I grabbed the guitar and it just came right out. And Joe [Moi, producer] was like, 'Oh, dude, do that again!' And I was like, 'What?' And he was like, 'Just do what you just did there.' And I sang this little melody and went round and round. And he's like, 'That's us right there.' And I was like, 'Oh God, it doesn't have to be this difficult."
Savin' me - Lyrics
Prison gates won't open up for me On these hands and knees, I'm crawlin' Oh, I reach for you Well, I'm terrified of these four walls These iron bars can't hold my soul in All I need is you (Come, please, I'm callin') And oh, I scream for you (Hurry, I'm fallin', I'm fallin') Show me what it's like (To be the last one standing) And teach me wrong from right (And I'll show you what I can be) And say it for me, say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth savin' me Heaven's gates won't open up for me With these broken wings I'm fallin' All I see is you These city walls ain't got no love for me I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story Oh, I scream for you (Come, please, I'm callin') And all I need from you (Hurry, I'm fallin', I'm fallin') Show me what it's like (To be the last one standing) And teach me wrong from right (And I'll show you what I can be) And say it for me, say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth savin' me Hurry, I'm fallin' And all I need is you (Come, please, I'm callin') And oh, I scream for you (Hurry, I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin') Show me what it's like (To be the last one standing) And teach me wrong from right (And I'll show you what I can be) And say it for me, say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth saving me (Hurry, I'm fallin') And say it for me, say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth savin' me
