Salt (song)

Letter and meaning

The song speaks of a couple that is shipwrecked and they dedicate themselves exclusively to observe the beauty that is around them ( A compass of light the lighthouse drew in the sea / With a blue kiss the foam turns into salt / Sirenas and hipocambos with its singing We will love them ), while the message is that only the love they have will save them and that the only and most important thing they have is each other (If we wait together high tides will come down / And when we are one maybe they will come and get us ).
