Salt
Trella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one my heart would slowly come back to
The one who made my heart so cool
Could melt it too
Your song was my tune
We played it mad, we played it true
Till we got tired of being fools, oh, we are fools
In my wounded heart
But I see you on my worst days
Praying that you would feel the same
I'm seeing you there
With glassy eyes and messy hair
I'm feeling like you always cared
You're always there
And I don't want to throw salt in your wounds
In my wounded heart
But I see you on my worst days
Praying that you would feel the same
And I don't want to throw salt in your wounds
In my wounded heart
But I see you on my worst days
Praying that you would feel the same
I don't wanna find you in my sleep, in my dreams anymore
I'm undone, on the run, I'm givin' up
I don't wanna find you in my sleep, in my dreams anymore
I'm undone, on the run, I'm givin' up
Givin' up
Don't wanna find you in my sleep, in my dreams anymore
I'm undone, on the run, I'm givin' up
I'm givin' up, oh
And I don't want to throw salt in your wounds
In my wounded heart
But I see you on my worst days
Praying that you would feel the same
And I don't want to throw salt in your wounds
In my wounded heart
But I see you on my worst days
Praying that you would feel the same
The song "Salt" by Trella is a heart-wrenching ode to unrequited love. The first verse starts off by acknowledging the one person the singer's heart always comes back to, despite their past experiences. The mention of the person's ability to both cool and melt their heart makes it clear that this person has had a major impact on the singer's life. The second verse is more straightforward in acknowledging the love the singer has for this person. Here, the singer addresses the one they love and admits to praying that they feel the same love towards them.
However, the chorus is where the singer pulls back, explaining that they do not want to hurt the person ("throw salt in your wounds"), but they cannot ignore the pain they feel in their heart. They go on to say that they are exhausted and are giving up hope that things will ever work out between them. The bridge of the song repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the singer's exhaustion and the need to move on.
