First Time
Josef Salvat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Snow moon cuts the river
into a thousand lights
Dancing for us
dancing for us

Jasmine on the breeze fills my room
And perfumes my nights
Dreaming for us
Dreaming for us

So donโ€™t worry โ€˜bout it
The seasons were on our side
It was you before all of this
And now its you for a life

No donโ€™t worry โ€˜bout it
The seasons were on our side
Even the greatest ideas
Live and a life and die

Summer rain, the sky screams
with the things we canโ€™t say
Speaking for us
Speaking for us

Leaves hang in the wind
On their way to decay
Ending for us
Ending for us

So donโ€™t worry โ€˜bout it
The seasons were on our side
Even the greatest ideas
Live and a life and die

No donโ€™t worry โ€˜bout it
The seasons were on our side
It was you before all of this
And now its you for a life

For the first timeโ€ฆ

And I feel it come
Feel it flood my lungs
Cut me into strips
I have come undone

For the first time





I have come undone.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Josef Salvat's song "First Time" evoke a sense of nostalgia and introspection. The opening lines, "Snow moon cuts the river into a thousand lights, Dancing for us," paint a vivid image of a serene, wintery landscape. The snow-covered moonlight reflects on the river, creating a dazzling spectacle that seems to be a performance just for the listener or the couple being referred to. It suggests a romantic and magical moment, where nature itself is orchestrating a dance for their enjoyment.


The next lines, "Jasmine on the breeze fills my room, And perfumes my nights, Dreaming for us," create a more intimate atmosphere. The scent of jasmine symbolizes love, purity, and sensuality. It permeates the room, creating a dream-like quality to the experience. It implies that these shared moments and emotions carry a significance beyond the physical presence, as if the very essence in the air is in harmony with their dreams and desires.


As the song progresses, the lyrics take a slightly melancholic turn. References are made to the passage of time and the transience of life. The lines "Even the greatest ideas, Live and a life and die" suggest that even the most profound and brilliant ideas or relationships eventually come to an end. This realization may bring about a sense of uncertainty and concern, hinted in the chorus when the singer reassures, "So don't worry 'bout it, the seasons were on our side, It was you before all of this, And now it's you for a life." Despite acknowledging the impermanence of things, they express a commitment to the person they adore, assuring that their love will endure.


The final lines, "And I feel it come, Feel it flood my lungs, Cut me into strips, I have come undone, For the first time, I have come undone," reveal a vulnerable moment for the singer. They experience a powerful emotional release, feeling overwhelmed and exposed for the first time. It suggests that being in this relationship has opened them up in a way they have never experienced before, leaving them feeling both liberated and vulnerable.


Overall, "First Time" captures the beauty and fleeting nature of relationships, the transformative power of love, and the vulnerability it brings. It is a poignant reflection on the complexities and emotions that come with deep connections.

The melancholic danceability of this track is of haunting beauty.

I am in love with the evolution of your sound, Mr. Salvat. I can't wait to hear more!

Emma W

I discovered and fell in love with your music when I was living in Barcelona. I've just moved back to Australia, so hearing your voice always takes me back to the most important years of my life, there in Spain where I discovered my limits in life and love. Your music will forever be the soundtrack to that time ๐Ÿ’œ

Thank you for this beauty. Always looking forward to your new music.
