The walk into the crowd
Will be the breaking of my mind
Hear the silence of the callers
Are the ones I left behind
Every time I lose a love
Another part of me just ends
Now I’m living with the dead
I talk to spirits more than friends
Swear on my heart, I’ll cut my hair
I’ll haunt the living, You raise the dead
She said I’m your saviour, your saviour
Saviour, saviour, saviour
I will find you, I will find you
I will find you, I will find you
In an everlasting party
Where the kids are dead inside
All the violence is in
My milken photographs of us
Tell another haunted story
About the boy who ate the spiders
And he dreamed of drowning dragons
And his brothers all were blinded
On my heart, I’ll cut my hair
I’ll haunt the living, You raise the dead
She said I’m your saviour, your saviour
Saviour, saviour, saviour
I will find you, I will find you
I will find you, I will find you

“Saviour”, the lead single from Outsider’s upcoming debut album, Karma of Youth, is a textured and rhythmic excursion into the darker reaches of alternative rock and pop often inhabited by the likes of Interpol and The Mary Onettes. Released on April 3rd via OK!Good Records, the song is anchored by a tribal backbeat, the song opens up to an expansive and epic soaring chorus turning it into a post-punk anthem.
Drawing heavily from “shamanistic imagery”, Seán says the song predicted a “spiritual awakening of monumental proportions” which he experienced shortly after writing the song.
“There is a lot of archetypal imagery in it, dreams of drowning dragons (dragon- fear/ kundalini serpent), eating spiders (Spiders represent the mother), blinded brothers (third eye references), haunting the living, living with the dead, talking to spirits. It is very astral and subconscious lyricism.”
