Salt
Sophie Lindinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By the river I've been at
I caught a cold
Gonna keep it behind my back
I safe the day
and pretend it has been this way
Cause I know too surely
It would make it fade
Again
I just made it through an end
Again
I just made it through an end
Looks like I'm numb
from wading through all these tears
The river is strong
it fuels from long lost fears
I safe the day
and let it take me away
cause I know for sure
If I don't, I'll fade
Again
I just need to make it end
Again
I just need to make it end
Again
I just need to make it end
Again
I just need to make it end
Again
I just need to make it end
Again
I just need to make it end
Again
I just need to make it end

The singer acknowledges their return to a familiar place ("Looks like I'm back / By the river I've been at") and reflects on their recent experiences. They mention catching a cold metaphorically, suggesting that they have encountered difficulties or hardships along the way.

There is a sense of determination to endure and overcome whatever difficulties they face. The repetition of this line emphasizes their strength and resilience.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotional state. They describe feeling numb from the weight of their tears and the river symbolizing their emotions, growing stronger from past fears. The line "I safe the day and let it take me away" suggests that the singer finds solace in surrendering to their emotions, allowing themselves to be carried by the river, metaphorically letting go of control. They are aware that if they do not confront their emotions, they will fade away, emphasizing the importance of processing and dealing with difficult feelings.
The repetition of the phrase "I just need to make it end" in each verse reflects the singer's longing for resolution, the desire to move beyond their current challenges and find closure. It conveys a sense of urgency and determination to overcome whatever obstacles they face.
Overall, "Salt" explores the internal struggle to navigate emotional hardships, the resilience to keep moving forward, and the importance of confronting and processing difficult emotions.

Looks like I'm back
