Faithless - Salva Mea
Dido:
How can I change the world if I can't even change myself?
I cannot change the way I am?
I don't know, I don't know.
Maxi Jazz:
I take a look at the world behind these eyes,
Every nook, every cranny reorganise,
Realise my face don't fit the way I feel.
What's real?
I need a mirror to check my face is in place,
Incase of upheval, fundamental movement below,
What's really going on I wanna know,
But yo, we don't show on the outside, so slide.
Just below my skin I'm screaming...
I need a mirror for my spirit,
Yeah, acn you feel it?
When I get deep, wanna hear myself sleep,
Not drowning, just tumbling around and around in the voices
Like a crowd in my head so loud,
I wonder what it's like to be dead,
I hope it's quiet, noise in my head like a riot,
Any remedy you have for me I'll try it.
Just below my skin I'm screaming...
I'm going deep, so deep that I can't sleep,
The pills ain't cheep but the bills are steep,
So I ___ with a booze and a slpiff,
Try to snooze,
But who's dreaming ___ this is win or loose,
Put down the drink, try not to think,
Let it go, fundamental movement below,
And yo, reality is dreaming,
Just below my skin I'm screaming...
"Salva Mea" is a song produced by British trip-hop/dance band Faithless (the title is intended to mean "Save Me", but the Latin is incorrect, translating instead as "Save My"). It was released in july 1995 and it was the group's first single, unexpectably becoming a hit in Dance Charts while peaking at #30 in 1995 and at #9 because of its re-release during the following year. The album version is more than ten minutes long and is rapped by Maxi Jazz. The song topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart twice - during its run in 1996 and again in 1997 when it was remixed and reissued.
