"Everybody Needs Salvation" is a single released by Weezer directly and exclusively to the members of the Weezer Fan Club.
Overview
The song was only released on 7" one-sided red vinyl, with a digital MP3 download of the track for members of the fan club. The 7" features no B-side, meaning this side of the single is smooth. The song was recorded in February 2015, several months after the sessions for their most recent album Everything Will Be Alright in the End, but a version of the song was written prior to and considered for the album at one point. A portion of the bridge lyrics appear in the album liner notes after the lyrics for The British Are Coming.
At a Nerd Night in 2015 Rivers told a fan that the song was picked for the fan club single because it was "something different." Rivers also said that he personally chose the cover.
The cover is a painting by Antonello da Messina called Ecce Homo, painted in 1475.
Personnel
- Rivers Cuomo – lead guitar, lead vocals
- Patrick Wilson – percussion
- Brian Bell – rhythm guitar, backing vocals
- Scott Shriner - bass guitar, backing vocals

Lyrics
<lyrics> Meet me in the dark My heart shrivels when the light is shining I can't get back home alone I need someone here to guide me Praise for the awakened one He truly saved my life But after all his truth is small And I love the lie
Everybody needs salvation And if it doesn't come we make some Some people can get by on nothing But I still need to know I'm something
Just like in a dream I scream But no one hears a word I'm saying Have I lost my mind this time Or have I won the game we're playing That's all I really care about (care about) It's kind of wonderful Kiss me while we both are still intangible
Everybody needs salvation And if it doesn't come we make some Some people can get by on nothing But I still need to know I'm something Yes I still need to know I'm something
I'm ready to love you I'm ready to give my heart I'm ready to trust you Cause I ain't afraid of the dark
I'm ready to love you I'm ready to give my heart I'm ready to trust you Cause I ain't afraid (I ain't afraid) I ain't afraid of the dark
Everybody needs salvation And if it doesn't come we make some Some people can get by on nothing But I still need to know I'm something
