Discover the story of the song > Save Me – Aimee Mann

The protagonist is feeling like a misfit and thinks she's not capable of being loved by anyone. She thinks her partner might be able to save her from these thoughts and fears. The bridge suggests that her partner is like a hero who will come to her rescue. The chorus repeats the request for help to be saved from feelings of inadequacy and fear of not being loved, but only by someone who understands what it's like to feel like a freak. The song ends with the same request for salvation from her partner, hoping that he will be able to save her from her own doubts and fears.
