The meaning of the lyrics of the song "God Save Me, but Don't Drown Me Out" by the artist "YUNGBLUD"

In "God Save Me, but Don't Drown Me Out," YUNGBLUD explores the struggle with inner demons and the pressures of the outside world. The lyrical protagonist is in a state of confusion and despair, possibly under the influence of drugs, as indicated by the lines "morning seems so far away, and the drugs just kicked in." He feels lost and seeks salvation, appealing to a higher power ("God save us all").

Despite his struggles, the protagonist refuses to give up. He refuses to let his mistakes and insecurities define him ("I ain't gonna waste my life 'cause I fucked up"). He believes in the possibility of overcoming difficulties and finding freedom ("the walls will fall down").

The repeated plea "God save" can be interpreted as a plea for help not only for himself but for everyone facing similar problems. YUNGBLUD expresses a sense of solidarity with those who feel lost and alone. At the end of the song, there is a glimmer of hope ("I finally figured it out"), indicating the possibility of healing and self-acceptance.

[Verse 1:]

Calm me down before I sleep

'Cause I don't know where I've just been

And the morning seems so far away

And the drugs just hit, so I'm wide awake

[Chorus:]

Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up

'Cause it doesn't matter

So waste my time, and God save all of us

And the walls, they'll shatter

And I won't let my insecurities define who I am, I am

Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up

'Cause it doesn't matter

[Verse 2:]

Take a breath and try to think straight

'Cause therе's so much pressure on my fuckin' brain

And my blood runs thin 'cause I'm off my facе

And my shoulders weigh more than I can take

(I can't fucking take it)

[Chorus:]

Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up

'Cause it doesn't matter

So waste my time, and God save all of us

And the walls, they'll shatter

And I won't let my insecurities define who I am, I am

Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up

'Cause it doesn't matter

[Bridge:]

God save, God save all of us

God save, God save all of us

God save, God save all of us

God save, God save all of us

God save, God save all of us

God save, God save all of us (And finally I know)

God save, God save all of us (Finally I know)

God save, God save all of us (Somehow finally I do)

God save, God save all of us (Finally I know)

[Chorus:]

Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up

'Cause it doesn't matter

So waste my time, and God save all of us

And the walls, they'll shatter

And I won't let my insecurities define who I am, I am

Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up

'Cause it doesn't matter

[Outro:]

Goodnight, everybody

See you tomorrow

I think we might be alright, you know
