Salt and Tar: A Journey from Doubt to Unconditional Love
Lyrics
I got salt in my lungs and I got
I have experienced challenges and difficulties (symbolized by salt and tar).
Tar in my ears and I got a
I've been exposed to tough situations and negative influences.
Head full of doubt and a heart full of fear
I have a mind filled with uncertainty and a heart burdened by fear.
But I swear to god that it all disappeared
Despite the challenges, everything faded away when you were born.
The day that you were born
The speaker is addressing the day of the listener's birth.
I realized there was more
Realization that life has deeper meaning and significance.
To life than this
Life is more than current struggles or difficulties.
Times are tough and
Acknowledgment of tough times and financial challenges.
The moneys slim
Facing financial limitations in life.
But I work my ass off
Despite financial challenges, the speaker works hard to make ends meet.
To meet the ends
Striving to meet financial obligations.
And I swear to god
Commitment to endure hardships and challenges again.
I'd do it all Over again
Expressing willingness to go through challenges for a significant cause.
The day that you were born
Reiteration of the impact of the listener's birth on the speaker's perspective.
I realized there was more
Understanding that life has a more profound meaning.
To life than this
Repeating the idea that life has greater significance.
To life than this
Emphasizing the depth and importance of life.
And all the hardships in my life
Reflecting on the difficulties faced, providing insights into sacrifice.
A how to guide for sacrifice
Acknowledging that life's challenges serve as a guide for sacrifice.
The love I've left and love I've mourned
Mentioning the love lost and mourned, shaping the speaker's character.
Have nothing but prepared me for
These experiences have prepared the speaker for the listener's birth.
The day you were born
Repeating the acknowledgment of the day of the listener's birth.
The day that you were born
Highlighting the profound impact of the listener's birth.
I realized there was more
Reiteration of the realization that life has deeper meaning.
I realized there was more
Further emphasis on the understanding of life's profound significance.
To life than this
Repeating the idea that life extends beyond current challenges.
To life than this
Emphasizing the depth and importance of life.
The day that you were born
Closing with a reiteration of the impact of the listener's birth on the speaker.
