Salvation
Scanners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stood on the shore but the wind was cold
Waited around till no one's about
Got out my spirit till my head took hold
Went to my the heart but my heart was empty
Went to the ground but the road was long
And now I've found my new salvation
I've been waiting for the dark to come
Like temptation and salvation
I've been waiting for the tide to turn
Dark eyes become divine
I need the love I crave
Your hands they burn like mine
I'll take you to my grave (x2)
I've been waiting for the dark to come
Like temptation and salvation
I've been waiting for the tide to turn
Dark eyes become divine
I need the love I crave
Your hands they burn like mine
I'll take you to my grave (x2)
I've been waiting the dark to come
like temptation and salvation
I've been waiting for the tide to turn
Dark eyes become divine
I need the love I crave
Your hands they burn like mine
I'll take you to my grave
I'll take you to my grave
In "Salvation," Scanners creates a vivid picture about their search for spiritual fulfillment. Throughout the song, the singer describes his journey towards salvation as a long and often difficult process. The opening line, "Went to the sea but the tide was out," sets up the idea that the singer is at the mercy of the natural world, unable to control the tides or the weather. The following lines, "Stood on the shore but the wind was cold / Waited around till no one's about," add to this sense of isolation and uncertainty. The singer is waiting for something, but it's not clear what he's waiting for or when it will come.
As the lyrics progress, it becomes clear that the singer is searching for a sense of purpose or direction. He says, "Went to my heart but my heart was empty / Went to the ground but the road was long." These lines suggest that the singer has been searching within himself and in the world around him, but has not found what he's looking for. However, he concludes that he has found "new salvation" that is so new, the old one is young. This suggests that the singer has found something that is both fresh and ancient, something that has been there all along but that he hasn't been able to see until now.
The chorus reinforces the idea that the singer has been waiting for something. He sings, "I've been waiting for the dark to come / Like temptation and salvation / I've been waiting for the tide to turn." These lines suggest that the singer has been waiting for a change to occur, something that will bring him a sense of clarity or resolution. The repetition of the lines "Dark eyes become divine / I need the love I crave / Your hands they burn like mine / I'll take you to my grave" reinforce the idea that the singer is in search of love and that he's willing to go to great lengths to find it.
Overall, Scanners' "Salvation" is a thoughtful and introspective examination of the search for spiritual fulfillment. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who has been struggling to find meaning and purpose in the world, but who has ultimately found a new sense of salvation.
