Salvation
Final Selection Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the door behind is shut now
Thoughts - spinning around inside my head
What's my destination?
Rushing down the streets
Blinding lights confuse me
I stop and look around, but I cannot find you
If hope had a name, could it be yours
Could you help me to trust in this world,
my salvation, my salvation, my salvation,
help me out of this!
We tried to reach up for the stars
I think that we lost ground then
You always were the one to glue
Our broken wings
And now I understand nothing lasts forever
Guess we missed that train, will there be another one?
My sight is blurred by rain and tears
It's true - I see you appear now right in front of me
In the song "Salvation" by Final Selection, the lyrics describe the turmoil and confusion of a person who is lost and trying to find their way. The cold rain against their face and the shut door behind them creates a sense of isolation and desperation. The singer's thoughts are spinning around inside their head, and they don't know where they are headed or what their destination is. The blinding lights only add to their disorientation, and they cannot find the person they are searching for.
The chorus of the song suggests that the singer's salvation could be the person they are looking for. They are hoping that this person can help them trust in the world again and guide them out of their confusion. The second verse touches on the idea of missed opportunities and regret, suggesting that the singer has been through a few setbacks and losses. The final verse offers a glimmer of hope, with the tears and rain clearing to reveal the person they were searching for right in front of them. The song is ultimately about finding hope and salvation in a world that often feels unpredictable and unforgiving.
