Singled Out: Dillon Campbell
. "Save Yourself" refers to a character who speeds through life avoiding details. A character who shows more concern for those around them than they do for themselves. A character who has been "running around saving everyone else". This holds the character back from living life to the fullest. Hence, the title "Save Yourself". It also brings forth the idea that "the human soul lives behind the eye". This comes originally from something Cicero, a roman statesman, spoke in the years before Christ. But I had remembered it from a poem by John Keats, if I remember correctly. The eyes are the window to the soul. The song states that "everything that was born was meant to die". We all go through this process, I suppose. It is inescapable. It is life. It is death. And rebirth. The song also vaguely hints at the destruction of the world with the line "we live in the desert, but we die in the sea" and the repetition of the words "pentecostal preacher". Fire and brimstone, indeed. In this sense, the song's title is almost a command: Save Yourself! The song came to me in a flash of lightning. A flash of inspiration. I wrote it in about ten minutes. Like an intelligent brainfart, or something. Where the idea came from, I don't know. The lyrics just sort of went along with what I was writing and playing, musically. That's how it normally goes for me. If I have to think twice about what I am writing, I generally trash it. I don't really like second thoughts or second drafts. Your first instinct is right 98% of the time. That's what I believe anyway. Hearing is believing.
