1) Salem (sometimes stylized in all caps or as S4LEM) is an American band from Traverse City, Michigan. Considered to be one of the pioneering acts in the witch house genre, Salem's sound contains elements of electronic, chopped and screwed, dark ambient, hip-hop, shoegaze, trap, and crunk. The band was formed in 2008 by Jack Donoghue, John Holland, and Heather Marlatt. They remained active up until 2012; releasing several mixtapes, EPs, singles, and remixes, as well as their debut studio album, King Night in 2010.
They briefly returned in 2016 on Wolfgang Tillmans' "Make It Up As You Go Along - Salem Remix", before another 4-year period of inactivity. In May 2020, Salem returned once again with another mixtape, Stay Down, and released their second studio album, Fires in Heaven in October that same year, 10 years after their debut.
A few weeks prior to the release of Stay Down, Marlatt posted a photo to her Instagram page, alleging that the other 2 members of the band were "attempting to force her out". She has not been featured on any of Salem's output since 2012.

Salem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love you
Just need you
I only love you
You know that's true
And you left me
But you're here by me baby
You know I miss you
You're here by me
You don't care about me
But you're here by me
You know I miss you
You're here by me
You don't care about me
But you're here by me
The song "Frost" by Salem is a haunting and emotionally charged ballad about a person who is desperately missing someone who they love deeply, but who has left them. The repetition of "I need you, I love you, just need you" emphasizes the singer's intense longing for their partner's presence. The lyrics also suggest that the singer feels abandoned ("you left me"), yet the object of their affection is still physically present ("you're here by me baby").
The repeated line "you don't care about me, but you're here by me" conveys a sense of confusion and mixed emotions in the singer's psyche. They are tormented by the fact that the person they love is physically present but emotionally distant. The mixture of despair, hope, and confusion is palpable in the song's mournful tone and minimalistic style.
Overall, "Frost" resonates with anyone who has ever experienced the pain of losing someone they love or the agony of unrequited love. The lyrics capture the essence of a complex emotional state and offer a voice to those struggling to express their feelings.
