The concept of savage is coming to a realization of a seemingly good relationship and realizing that the feelings that you thought you had were incorrect.
The other person had the ideal image that everything was going in the right direction, but with the abrupt end to their love, the first person perspective has a feeling of sympathy and sees themselves as something that they never thought they could be due to the fact that all the promises they made to their lover have become null and dry...
In life, we make promises and commitments outside of the purpose that may or may have not been part of the life that was written out for us. We create a false sense of intimacy based on what we filter intimacy to be. Every action we take affects the next person, and we must not be a people that become desensitized to the things that we think we aren't capable of, because we all are never too far from falling short. Our promises and our words will always return void, but operating out of a true love that never fails will lead you and guide you into a relationship that will bring life abundant.
lyrics
Told you that I'd always be in love
I guess I'm just not who you thought I was
Never know what you're capable of
Until It's damaged, and you're a savage
Never know what you've had til' you've had none
Play it back in you're head is slow motion
I turn the bed to an ocean, Let you sip on my love potion
So now you're like, "I didn't even do 'nun,
Give me a reason, where did it go wrong
How'd I get you singing swan songs"
Mmmmmm, Said that I'd give you my last
Baby just let the time pass, let the time pass
Mmmmmm, It ain't bout nothing you lack
Know that I cant give it back, can't give it back
Told you that I'd always be in love
I guess I'm just not who you thought I was
Never know what you're capable of
Until It's damaged, and you're a savage
Tell your mama let your friends know
screenshot the conversation
Let em' all know I was faking
Give me a bad reputation
I wasn't right
Said I had no love
I can't even say I've got a reason,
Baby I know what you're feeling, cause I can't feel it got me like..
Mmmmmm, Said that I'd give you my last
Baby just let the time pass, let the time pass
Mmmmmm, It aint bout nothing you lack
Know that I cant give it back, can't give it back
Told you that I'd always be in love
I guess I'm just not who you thought I was
Never know what you're capable of
Until It's damaged, and you're a savage
