Sal
Dancing with Despair: The Tale of Sal's Love Journey
Lyrics
Hey there Sal, you sure are crazy
Sal is described as eccentric or unpredictable.
And boy you love to have a ball
Sal enjoys having a good time or socializing.
Must be great with all the ladies
Sal is perceived as attractive to women.
Watch it Sal, don't you fall.
A caution to Sal about potential risks or pitfalls.
You can cry like a loser, like a clown
Sal can express emotions of defeat or sadness.
But it doesn't seem to help at all
Crying or acting like a clown doesn't alleviate Sal's pain.
Oh, you and I aren't used to what we've found
The narrator and Sal are unaccustomed to the love they've found.
Love like rain will fall.
Love, like rain, is unpredictable and can fall unexpectedly.
She left you but you still love her
Despite a breakup, Sal still has feelings for the ex-partner.
You thought she was the easy part
The ex-partner was initially thought to be easily replaceable.
She smelled a lie and the luck of the winner
The ex-partner detected a falsehood and chose a lucky winner over Sal.
Left you standing in the dark
Sal was left in a state of confusion or ignorance.
You can cry like a loser, like a clown
Sal's emotional expressions, like crying, seem ineffective.
But it doesn't seem to help at all
Emotional responses don't alleviate Sal's pain.
Oh, you and I aren't used to what we've found
The narrator and Sal are still adjusting to their newfound love.
Love like rain will fall.
Love is compared to rain, suggesting its unpredictability.
For a day or two you're feeling dizzy
Sal experiences a temporary sense of disorientation or intoxication.
For a day there's no alcohol
A brief period without alcohol, possibly symbolizing sobriety.
But tonight you're dancing the song of the sinner
Sal is dancing to the music of someone who has sinned.
Tonight you'll seem to have it all.
Tonight, Sal appears to have everything despite previous hardships.
You can cry like a loser, like a clown
Emotional expressions like crying don't provide relief for Sal.
But it doesn't seem to help at all
Continued struggles in coping with emotional pain.
Oh, you and I aren't used to what we've found
Both the narrator and Sal are still adjusting to their love.
Love like rain will fall.
Love, like rain, is emphasized as a force that will inevitably fall.
