The Saltwater room

The saltwater room

The first time I heard this song, directly I was falling in love with this song, why? It is because the strains tune from this music is so unique and beautiful, yeah as we know…the singer is Owl City, I’m not surprised that this song is beautiful because owl city songs are great indeed. But what’s make this song is different with others? Owing of the beautiful tune, the lyrics was so great too. Your feelings will be brought within the strains of that song. I heard this song when I was falling in love with someone, yeah and this song make it perfect :) . do you curious what’s like that song , here the lyrics and some interpretation from me :

I opened my eyes
last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue: farewell
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

Time together is just never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
We need time, only time
When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time, all the time

Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on?
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights
I guess I’ll never know why sparrows love the snow
We’ll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow

-Owl city featuring Breanne Düren-

Is such a beautiful song isn’t it? :) I’m quietly sure you’ll agree with what I’d say . hehe okee let’s interpretation the lyrics of the song, some people say that song is about a new relationship barely starting, possibly with two good friends .They are just feeling the new relationship out. "What will it take to make or break this hint of love?" The little hint of it is enough to make them want to fall in love, but they aren't yet. That's why they want to spend time with each other, to see if they will fall in love. The couple has that new little obsession with each other where they can't stop thinking about the possibility of the relationship. Others say that adam as the singer and the songwriter said himself that the lyrics he picks are random, and that each part of the song has it's own context separate from the rest of the song. So the only meanings you're going to find in any Owl City song are the ones you can make up and jusitfy on your own. :)

So, I will interpretation this song. I think this song is telling about two people who are love each other but they are not quite sure that what happened with them. So they figure out what theirs feeling with spent time together. The best part of this lyric which I love the most is:

“Time together is just never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
We need time, only time”

Why I love that part? It is because this part describe about what I feel :) hehe. When I was with him, time was just never quite enough, I was so happy if I was with him. I can’t describe how that’s best feeling. But I just need time to know that this feeling is love or not. How about him? We just need time, only time to make or break this hint of love :)
