Salvation
s6e02. Gabrielle Aplin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One world away
My make believing
While I'm wide awake
Just a trick of light
To bring me back around again
Those wild eyes
I never meant to fall for you but I
Was buried underneath and
All that I could see was white
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
Oh
You are the snowstorm
I'm purified
The darkest fairytale
In the dead of night
Let the band play out
As I'm making my way home again
Glorious we transcend
Into a psychedelic silhouette
I never meant to fall for you but I
Was buried underneath and
All that I could see was white
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
Oh, oh, oh
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
The song "Salvation" by Gabrielle Aplin is a love song that uses imagery of natural phenomena to describe the feelings of falling in love. The opening lines, "You are the avalanche, one world away, my make-believing while I'm wide awake", describe how the love interest feels like a force of nature that overwhelms the singer, even though they are physically distant from each other.
Throughout the song, there are references to light and darkness, such as "just a trick of light to bring me back around again" and "the darkest fairytale in the dead of night". This creates a sense of contrast between the powerful, radiant feelings of love and the uncertainty and doubt that can accompany them.
The repeated refrain of "my salvation" emphasizes how the love interest is seen as a salvation or rescue from whatever trouble or sadness the singer was experiencing before falling in love. This creates a sense of hope and upliftment that runs throughout the song.
