Save Me Lyrics

I got a candle
And I've got a spoon
I live in a hallway with no doors
And no rooms

Under a windowsill
They all were found
A touch of concrete within the doorway
Without a sound

Someone save me if you will
And take away all these...

    Uh, heroin doesn't come in pills, haha!! He's more than likely talking about methadone, which is what they give heroin addicts to help get them off of the drug...

    This song is about a heroine addiction. The first two lines says it all. To make heroine you take the heroine pills, melt them over a candle in a spoon, then pour that into a neddle.

    This song is about a drug addictions and how everyone leaves him when they find out about his addiction and he wishes someone would save him so he could have his life back to normal he doesn't see how it all happened and it just kept getting worse when everyone left him

    To me, this song is saying that you can't get through life alone. Sometimes, you need help, and you can't be afraid to ask other people for it. I think it's about believing that no matter how dark you're life seems, and how bad the future looks, if you try, you can make it better. But sometimes you just need someone to help you do that, and be there for you.

    i just want to say this song was not about a guy making medicine on a fucking spoon that wouldn't make sense.

    This song is about an addiction of some kind and him living through it and wanting out. Its a plea for help. Whoever said it was about a girl whose boyfriend beat her is dead wrong.

    Clearly about an addiction to heroin. He says "I've got a candle, and I've got a spoon" when you do herione you heat it in a spoon over a candle.

    Its about you or anyone no matter how strong you are or how strong they are, your all eventually going to break down because the world will eventually cave in around you. basically it's about him saying "im still a strong person in my heart but I'm in a bad place and I need help" so he asked for it and his family and friends didn't abandon him..... He needed help and he knew that and he wasnt just going to give up! Goto www.shinedown.com then media then click on :-Question 2 "what insired you to write save me"

    I think this song is about a guy who gets himself so frickin' down and depressed that he turns to drugs to give him somewhat of a high.

    This song is about his addiction to any drugs and how he is so depressed from it, his addiction makes him want help from anyone. He did explain a part about his depression when he said "couldn't handle forgivness, now I'm far from gone". So as depressed as he was, he goes and gets addicted to drugs, now he's more sad than he was before.

    It's about having a heroine addiction and needing help. It's quite obvious throughout the whole song. The real ringer is the first verse

    "I've got a candle,
    And I've got a spoon
    I live in a hallway
    With no doors and no rooms"

    He lives in a crack shack with his drugs.
