Manafest - Save You Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
Were all told we should be afraid
But i won't bow my head in shame
Can't give what ye don't first take
I feel betrayed
Still i pray
I'm not a preacher in ye pulpit
Getting triggered don't pull it pull it
I'm not a victim dodging bullets
Ye for the people why don't ye do it do it!
Pre-Chorus
They'll just replace you they're not gonna save you
Chorus
No one is coming to save you
The enemy means only to play you
And they take
And they take
And they give just a little
They'll replace you they're the ones that played you
No one is coming to save you
The enemy means only to play you
And they take
And they take
And they give just a little
They'll erase you, never gonna save you!
Verse 2 (red-light king)
I don't lie for the one percent
I grew up with a hammer and a wrench
Not the life i chose, walked the dirty roads
That no one knows
I have my shield i have my strength
I have my soul and i have my faith
I give my word that it might get violent
This is not the time to be silent
Chorus
No one is coming to save you
The enemy means only to play you
And they take
And they take
And they give just a little
They'll replace you they're the ones that played you
No one is coming to save you
The enemy means only to play you
And they take
And they take
And they give just a little
They'll erase you, never gonna save you!
Bridge
All of these voices
A lying disease
They can't save you
Save yourself
No one is coming to save you
The enemy means only to play you
And they take
And they take
And they give just a little
Chorus
No one is coming to save you
The enemy means only to play you
And they take
And they take
And they give just a little
They'll replace you they're the ones that played you
No one is coming to save you
The enemy means only to play you
And they take
And they take
And they give just a little

SAVE YOU featuring Redlight King (Official Lyric Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Manafest’s song "Save You," featuring Redlight King, released via an Official Lyric Video on February 26, 2021, arrives as a powerful declaration of rescue found in faith, navigating the depths of despair towards hope. At its core, the track grapples with feelings of being overwhelmed, trapped, and on the verge of giving up, painting a vivid picture of life's struggles that can feel like a relentless storm or a suffocating darkness. However, the message quickly pivots to the realization that there is a force, a presence, capable of pulling one out of the deepest pits, offering not just comfort, but genuine salvation. This narrative strongly aligns with the biblical understanding of God as the ultimate rescuer. Scripture is replete with examples and promises of divine intervention for those in need; Psalm 40:1-2 speaks of waiting patiently for the Lord who "inclined to me and heard my cry... He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog," a passage that perfectly mirrors the song's theme of being lifted from a desperate situation. Similarly, Isaiah 41:10 offers a foundational assurance against fear because God promises, "I am with you... I will uphold you with my righteous right hand," echoing the song's implicit trust in a powerful, saving hand. The collaboration with Redlight King adds another layer of intensity, driving home the urgency and magnitude of this needed rescue. The musical composition itself often builds dynamically, reflecting the tension of the struggle and the release found in salvation, providing an auditory landscape that underscores the lyrical journey from desperation to deliverance. This isn't just a song about feeling better; it's an anthem pointing towards the radical hope offered through a relationship with the one who can truly save, reminding everyone who hears it that no matter how dark the circumstances, there is a promise of redemption and strength available, just as Romans 5:8 affirms, "while we were still sinners, Christ died for us," demonstrating God's immense love and His ultimate act of saving us. The song effectively channels the spirit of finding solid ground when everything feels like it's collapsing, resonating deeply with the timeless truth found in Christ, who came not to condemn but to save the world (John 3:17).
