Salvation
Aplin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the avalanche
One world away
My make believing
While I'm wide awake

Just a trick of light
To bring me back around again
Those wild eyes
A psychedelic silhouette

I never meant to fall for you but I
Was buried underneath and
All that I could see was white
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my

Oh

You are the snowstorm
I'm purified
The darkest fairytale
In the dead of night

Let the band play out
As I'm making my way home again
Glorious we transcend
Into a psychedelic silhouette

I never meant to fall for you but I
Was buried underneath and
All that I could see was white
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my

Oh, oh, oh

My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my




My salvation
My, my

Overall Meaning

In Aplin's song "Salvation," the singer explores the idea of falling in love so deeply that it feels like salvation from everything else in life. She uses natural disasters like an avalanche and a snowstorm to describe the intense emotions that come with falling in love, and how it can be both beautiful and dangerous. The lyrics "You are the avalanche, one world away, my make-believing while I'm wide awake" illustrate this feeling of being transported to another world when falling in love, even when everything else is still happening around you.


As the song progresses, Aplin describes her love as a "psychedelic silhouette," showing how it is both ethereal and elusive, difficult to hold onto but impossible to forget. The repeated line "my salvation" emphasizes how love can be a saving grace, a source of hope and light in an otherwise dark world. The use of the word "salvation" also carries religious connotations, suggesting that love can be a kind of divine intervention that rescues us from our problems.


Overall, "Salvation" is a beautiful and poetic exploration of the power of love, and how it can change our lives in profound ways.
