Salvation
Embracing Imperfection: A Journey of Self-Discovery in 'Salvation'
Lyrics
I like to dance under streetlamps
I find joy in dancing beneath streetlamps.
And walk upon the clouds
I enjoy the feeling of walking on clouds.
I like to shout from the rooftops
I like expressing myself loudly from high places like rooftops.
And surf on top of the crowd
I feel a sense of empowerment when surfing on top of a crowd.
For many years, many years
Over many years, I struggled with fear of my true self.
I was scared of the person I was
I admit imperfection, but I believe in my inherent worth and capacity for love.
And I'm not perfect, they say
Questioning if love will be received now.
But I know that I was born to be loved
A plea for acceptance and love from others.
Hey, hey, hey, will they love me now?
Reiteration of the desire for love and acceptance.
Hey now kid, you're my salvation
A term of endearment for someone seen as a source of salvation.
Just put it all out, don't let your head down
Encouragement to express oneself openly, without lowering one's head.
All my life, they never told me
A realization that life is challenging, and there were no prior warnings.
They never said that it'd ever be so hard
Recognition of the difficulty in life's journey.
I like to spend all my money
A tendency to spend on unnecessary things.
On things that I don't need
Admitting a preference for escaping reality by sleeping.
I like to sleep all the day
Life seems simpler and more manageable in dreams.
'Cause this life is easier in dreams
A reflection on dreams as an escape from the challenges of reality.
Yeah, in my dreams, in my dreams
A reference to the ease and comfort found in dreams.
Well, I think about the places I have been
Contemplation of past experiences and their impact on the present self.
And I can't regret what I have done
Acceptance of past actions without regret.
It's the past that makes me who I am
A belief that the past shapes one's identity.
Hey, hey, hey, will they love me now?
Reiteration of the desire for love and acceptance.
Hey now kid, you're my salvation
Reaffirmation of someone being a source of salvation.
Just put it all out, don't let your head down
Encouragement to express oneself openly, without lowering one's head.
All my life, they never told me
Reflection on the absence of warnings about life's challenges.
They never said that it'd ever be so hard
Acknowledgment of the unexpected difficulty in life's journey.
Even when the sun goes down
Commitment to support and love even during difficult times.
I'll be there to hold and love you
A promise to be a comforting presence when the sun sets.
Even when the day is done
Assurance of being a reliable support at the end of the day.
I will be the one you can run to
Commitment to be the one to run to in times of need.
Even when I'm dead and gone
A promise to watch over and protect even after death.
I will always watch out for you now
Continued vigilance and care for the person mentioned.
Until the day we meet again
An expression of enduring care until a future reunion.
Until we meet again
Anticipation of a future meeting with the person.
Hey now kid, you're my salvation
Reaffirmation of someone being a source of salvation.
Just put it all out, down let your head down
Encouragement to express oneself openly, without lowering one's head.
All my life, they never told me
Reflection on the absence of warnings about life's challenges.
They never said that it'd ever be so hard
Acknowledgment of the unexpected difficulty in life's journey.
They never said that it'd ever be so hard
Realization that life is harder than expected.
