Leher pegal, jempol masih bergerak, dan linimasa tidak pernah selesai. Mali, penyanyi asal Mumbai yang pernah tampil di Lollapalooza India edisi perdana, menuangkan kelelahan itu ke dalam “Saviour Complex” dengan cara yang tidak melodramatis. Gitar dan ketukan yang saling dorong, drum mengetuk stabil, dan semuanya bergerak cepat seperti notifikasi yang terus masuk meski kamu sudah mematikan ponsel.
“I miss you just a little bit, Enough to call you and then regret it”, nyanyinya dengan nada yang terdengar lebih kesal daripada sedih. Ada kejujuran yang bikin nyesek di situ. Mali tidak sedang meminta simpati, dia sedang menolak peran penyelamat yang tidak pernah dia daftarkan.
Panggung video klipnya dibuat sendiri oleh band-nya, properti kapal-kapalan dan semua. Kadang musik yang paling tulus memang datang dari tangan yang mengelem karton sendiri.

[Verse 1] today i sat staring at the wall from the wrong side of the bed i’ve been getting in my head just a little bit override the sharp pain on the left side of my neck from scrolling down through the infinite void the endless drone of dissent and disguises making a point just to prove someone else’s lies made up and camouflaged guilty as charged [Chorus] and i miss you just a little bit enough to call you and then regret it enough to wallow in self-critical behaviour so don’t count on me to come and save ya [Post-Chorus] (don’t count on me to come and save ya) don't count on me (don’t look at me, i’m not your saviour) don't count on me (don’t count on me to come and save ya) [Verse 2] it gets to me more than i like to show it’s more than you know it’s something of a thorn in my side there’s no two ways about it damned if i’m with and so damned without it can a girl on a mission (can a girl on a mission) be so easily broken (it's so broken) trade me in like a token when you need me [Pre-Chorus] so many takers for (oh-oh-oh) false men and their makers (oh-oh-oh) call it a deal breaker (oh-oh-oh) when you fail me (oh-oh-oh) [Chorus] and i miss you just a little bit enough to call you and then regret it enough to wallow in self-critical behaviour so don’t count on me [Bridge] (oh, why?, hihihihi) and i wish you never happened (i wish you) i wish you never happened (i wish you) i wish you never happened to me (me-me) [Chorus] i wish you never happened (don’t count on me to come and save ya) i wish you never happened (don’t look at me, i’m not your saviour) i wish you never happened to me (don’t count on me to come and save ya) [Outro] to me (don’t look at me, i’m not your saviour) to me (don’t count on me to come and save ya, don’t look at me, i’m not your saviour) to me (don’t count on me to come and save ya, don’t look at me, i’m not your saviour) (don’t count on me to come and save ya don’t look at me, i'm not your saviour don’t count on me to come and save ya don’t look at me, i’m not your saviour don’t count on me to come and save ya don’t look at me, i’m not your saviour don’t count on me to come and save ya don’t look at me, i’m not your saviour)
