Stabbing Westward Wasn’t Trying to Save Anyone

MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

By June 6th of 1998…

Stabbing Westward was in heavy rotation on MTV

with one of their biggest songs:

“Save Yourself.”

(Music Cut #2)

The song came from something singer Christopher Hall kept running into after shows.

Because the band wrote about depression, trauma, and trying to survive the dark stuff…

Fans would come to him expecting answers.

Like he had somehow figured it all out.

But he didn’t.

And THAT became the heart of “Save Yourself.”

He wasn’t saying:

I can fix you.

He was saying:

I’m barely saving myself.

(Music Cut #4)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“I cannot save you
I can’t even save myself
So just save yourself.” – Stabbing Westward
