Salt And Sugar
Bittersweet Symphony of Love and Loss
Lyrics
I know the kinda love that ain’t no love at all
I have experienced a type of love that lacks genuine affection.
Bittersweet front row seat to dodge that wrecking ball
I've had a bittersweet experience, observing closely to avoid emotional damage.
Like a rolling stone and blowing grain every screen door swings both ways
Life is unpredictable, akin to a rolling stone, and every situation has both positive and negative aspects.
When life gives me lemons well then I make lemonade
In challenging situations, I make the best out of them, like turning lemons into lemonade.
I like my drinks with rocks and my thorns with roses
I prefer my drinks strong (with rocks) and acknowledge the presence of difficulties (thorns) amidst beauty (roses).
Keep my heart a little broken and door the wide open
I keep my heart somewhat broken but remain open to new experiences.
Tears of joy and tears of pain life’s got me fooled again
Life brings both moments of joy and pain, and I find myself deceived again.
I know it’s not my fault cause salt and sugar look the same
I understand that it's not entirely my fault, as distinguishing between good and bad experiences is challenging.
Since she's gone I’m rollin’ on like a dirt road shopping cart
Since a significant loss, I continue moving forward like a wandering and directionless shopping cart.
Over sticks and stones I’m an old Silverado that needs a push to start
Despite facing obstacles (sticks and stones), I am resilient but may need external motivation to start anew.
Disguise my chief complaint behind another round of drinks
I hide my main concerns behind a facade of drinking, avoiding facing the real issues.
Roll those windows down with the radio loud I need some time to think
To contemplate life, I roll down the windows, turn up the radio, and seek solitude.
I like my drinks with rocks and my thorns with roses
Reiteration of enjoying strong drinks and acknowledging challenges in the midst of beauty.
Keep my heart a little broken and door the wide open
Reaffirmation of keeping an open heart despite past hurts.
Tears of joy and tears of pain life’s got me fooled again
Life continues to bring a mix of joy and pain, causing confusion.
I know it’s not my fault cause salt and sugar look the same
Emphasizing the difficulty in distinguishing between positive and negative experiences.
Well I might be a little bit wiser but I still don’t act my age
Despite growing older, I still don't conform to societal expectations.
Throw those crutches in the corner and take that leap of faith
Encouraging taking risks and embracing uncertainty rather than relying on crutches.
I’m a traveling man with no zip code standing in the middle of the crossroads
Describing a nomadic existence with no fixed identity, standing at a crossroads of choices.
Certain of uncertainty whichever way life goes
Acknowledging the certainty of uncertainty in life's journey.
I like my drinks with rocks and my thorns with roses
Reiteration of enjoying strong drinks and recognizing challenges in the midst of beauty.
Keep my heart a little broken and door the wide open
Reaffirmation of keeping an open heart despite past hurts.
Tears of joy and tears of pain life’s got me fooled again
Life continues to bring a mix of joy and pain, causing confusion.
I know it’s not my fault cause salt and sugar look the same
Emphasizing the difficulty in distinguishing between positive and negative experiences.
