She's the One
Salt Tree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn around and close the door
I hold you, hold you close
I′m nervous to take off your clothes
Oooo she's the one
Ooooo she′s the one
Your sweet caress, my hands around your waist
Memories of you go by like a fire-fly
Caught up in the moment don't let the light
You are, you are, my home
Ooooo she's the one
Ooooo she′s the one
Ooooo she′s the one
Ooooo-ooo shes the one
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
We are, we are young
It's all been sedated, on the tip of my tongue
We are, we are young
And this is all we′ve created, a beautiful woman
This is all we've created, a beautiful woman
Ooooo she′s the one (she's the one)
Ooooo she′s the one (she's the one)
Ooooo she's the one
Ooooo-ooo shes the one
The opening lines of the song "She's The One" by Salt Tree set the scene for a romantic encounter between the singer and a lover. The singer invites their lover to follow them home and nervously contemplates the act of undressing them. The repeated phrase "she's the one" suggests that the singer feels a deep connection to this person and believes they are the one they have been searching for.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated "oooo" sounds, further emphasizes the intensity of the singer's feelings towards their lover. The second verse continues the theme of addiction and desire, with the singer describing the memories of their lover that linger like fireflies. The singer declares that their lover is their home, implying that they feel a sense of belonging and comfort with this person.
The bridge of the song introduces the idea that the singer and their lover are young and have created something beautiful together. It can be interpreted as a celebration of the intensity and passion of youth and the power of love to create something meaningful and transformative.
