Embracing Desolation: Unveiling the Depths of Solitude in 'Saltwater'
Lyrics
I'll go cold tonight because I'm burning these clothes
I will become emotionally distant tonight because I'm discarding these garments.
Now I've trained my eyes not to focus up close
I've taught myself not to focus on things in close proximity.
I have lost all of my fingers
I have lost all of my fingers.
Because I can't stop playing with knives
This loss is a consequence of my inability to stop playing with knives.
And my faith breaks
My faith is eroding or diminishing.
When I can't shake this feeling
My faith breaks when I can't overcome this feeling.
Of being lonely when I'm not alone
I feel lonely even when I'm not physically alone.
In this lowered light she exposes her soul
In subdued lighting, she reveals her true self.
She is desperate, she will swallow you whole
She is desperate and will consume you entirely.
I have lost track of my fingers
I have lost count of my fingers.
Because I can't stop counting the lies
This loss is a consequence of my inability to stop counting lies.
Of these damn fakes
Referring to insincere or deceitful individuals.
I just can't hold this feeling
I struggle to contain this intense emotion.
I can't breathe with my head in the sand
I feel suffocated or overwhelmed when I avoid facing reality.
When did you know?
An inquiry about when the listener became aware of something.
Should you even tell me?
Questioning whether the listener should inform the speaker.
There's a ghost here tonight
A presence or unsettling feeling of the past is present tonight.
Oh how it mocks me
This haunting feeling intensifies and ridicules me.
