Salvation
LP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My salvation
And the light, on the shore, it was in your eyes
My salvation
And all I really wanted to do was make love to you
And retreat into my isolation
Salvation, salvation
Aaaaa oh oh
Aaaaa oh oh
Aaaaa oh oh
I was cold and afraid, so I locked you out
By temptation
And the kiss that you gave couldn't tie me down
I'm frustrated now
And all you really wanted to do was to lead me through
All my loneliness and desperation
Salvation, salvation
Aaaaa oh oh
Aaaaa oh oh
Aaaaa oh oh
Aaaaa oh oh
In LP's song "Salvation," the singer is reflecting on a past interaction with someone who could have been their salvation, but they didn't realize it at the time. When the person first arrived at their door, the singer didn't recognize them as a potential source of salvation, but as they got to know them better, they realized that the light in their eyes held the key to their salvation. Despite this, the singer was afraid and retreated into isolation, locking out the person who could have saved them. In the end, they were left frustrated and alone, regretting their missed opportunity.
Line by Line Meaning
When you arrived at my door I didn't recognize
I was lost and didn't know what I needed until you came into my life
My salvation
You are the missing piece that brought me peace and saved me from myself
And the light, on the shore, it was in your eyes
Your love and guidance helped me find my way in the darkness
And all I really wanted to do was make love to you
My desire for you was more than just physical, it was spiritual and emotional
And retreat into my isolation
I was used to being alone and vulnerable, but you made me want to share my life with someone
Salvation, salvation
You are my savior and the one who lifted me up when I was down
I was cold and afraid, so I locked you out
I was scared of getting hurt or rejected, so I pushed you away
By temptation
I was tempted to stay in my comfort zone and not risk anything
And the kiss that you gave couldn't tie me down
Even though your love was strong, I couldn't commit to you because of my fear
I'm frustrated now
I regret not taking a chance on you and letting my fear control me
And all you really wanted to do was to lead me through
You didn't want to control me, you just wanted to help me overcome my struggles
All my loneliness and desperation
You saw through my tough exterior and knew that deep down I needed someone to rely on
Salvation, salvation
You are still my savior and the one who gave me hope and happiness
Aaaaa oh oh
A cry for help and understanding
