Storm
Saliva [gen-thylon] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all these chains that shackle me.
They won't let me take control
They want to take control of me.
I've got to rise above my life.
To find the reason I'm alive.
I'll save myself, I'm all alone.
I've opened my heart to see there's nobody home.
The message of life is turning
Facing the storm.
Life is filled with your memory.
You were deep within my heart.
You were deep with inside of me.
With all this pain that I'm wrapped around.
If there's a heaven up above,
I see the angels falling down
I've got to rise above my life.
To find the reason I'm alive.
I'll save myself, I'm all alone.
I've opened my heart to see there's nobody home.
It's up to me, I'm own my own.
The message of life is turning
Facing the storm.
"Storm" by Saliva [gen-thylon] talks about the struggles and pain that come with life. The singer compares life to a melody that is deeply ingrained in his soul. However, he feels trapped and powerless by the chains that bind him, almost as though his life is not his own. He acknowledges that he has to rise above his problems and find the reason why he is alive. He believes that he is the only person capable of saving himself and must face the harsh realities of life, even if it means doing so alone.
The song's chorus talks about the message of life turning as the singer faces the storm. It also references a past loved one who was deeply embedded in his heart. However, he is consumed by the intense pain that he holds onto, and he wonders if there is a heaven above, watching as the angels fall down. The lyrics capture the internal battles that many people face, those stages where we are forced to confront our fears and persevere through the hardest moments of life, all by ourselves.
