Saline is about salt water, and a parallel I identified within the surrender of tears and the power of the ocean.
lyrics
Do, do you release your tide?
In all of the searching, in all of the time,
its hard to heal when you've lost your mind
When all of your senses numb out and die,
its hard to feel when you only cry
And in-spite of, what's inside you, grieving eyes that try to
swim away
Just like the ocean, just like the sea
Salt inside water that's elementary
saline, saline
And just like the ocean that pours out of me,
salt inside water that's elementary
There must be healing that's covering me
saline, saline
With all of the reason, but none of the rhyme,
thinking your strong but your just killing time
And all of your senses numb out and die
longer you wait, the more that you’ll cry
Like bodies in water that float,
let it fall until your body is soaked
Just like the ocean, just like the sea
Salt inside water that's elementary
saline, saline
And just like the ocean that pours out of me,
salt inside water that's elementary
There must be healing that's covering me
saline, saline
Just like the ocean, calls out to me
in perfect composition, for mourning endlessly
Breaking me open, down to my feet
Let it all be over, let it all be seen
JJust like the ocean, just like the sea
Salt inside water that's elementary
saline, saline
And just like the ocean that pours out of me,
salt inside water that's elementary
There must be healing that's covering me
saline, saline
