Salvage
Galantis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If London Bridge is falling, let's hurry up and cross
Justify the meaning, before the feeling's lost
We should have no ending, like limits to a sky
Rather hear a good night, let's not say goodbye

We should take what's left and make it right
(We're gonna make it right)
We should sleep all day and stay up all night
(We're staying up all night)

See you from a distance, you're not close enough
My heart is a mountain, you're diamond in the rough
We should have no ending, like limits to a sky
Rather hear a good night, let's not say goodbye

We should take what's left and make it right
(We're gonna make it right)




We should sleep all day and stay up all night
(We're staying up all night)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Galantis’ song Salvage express the desire to enjoy life to the fullest without worrying about the consequences. The opening line, “If London Bridge is falling, let's hurry up and cross,” suggests a sense of urgency to move forward regardless of external factors. The next line, “Justify the meaning, before the feeling's lost,” could be interpreted as a call to enjoy the present moment before it is gone or before it loses its value. The chorus, “We should take what's left and make it right, we should sleep all day and stay up all night,” further emphasizes the importance of living in the moment and making the most of what is available.


The second verse describes the desire to be closer to someone who is currently distant. The line “My heart is a mountain, you're a diamond in the rough” suggests that the singer sees something of value in the person, but perhaps they have not yet fully realized their potential. Once again, the chorus repeats the message to enjoy life fully and without regret.


Overall, the lyrics of Salvage are a call to live life to the fullest, embrace the moment, and not worry too much about what may or may not happen. The song’s upbeat tempo and infectious melody reinforce this message, making it perfect for anyone seeking to live more fully.
