The story behind the song

"Save Me" explores the weight of taking on others' burdens and the eventual breaking point that can come from it. It also speaks to the reciprocal nature of support, where someone who once lifted you up might one day need you to do the same for them, reflecting a personal experience of the singer. This track appeared on the band's second album, Us and Them, and its foundations were laid when the singer was just 16 years old. Playing this song can feel like stepping into a story of resilience and mutual aid.
