Hello, So I've been listening to the song "Salt" by bad suns, and the main line is "these memories are nothing to me, just salt" I'm just wondering, what does the word "salt" mean in this song? Thank-you.
Terrible emotional pain? Some websites claim the lyrics go "these memories are nothing to me, just salt in the wound" I've never heard the song in my life (so I don't know for certain what lyrics they actually sing)
If you put salt on a cut it doesn't really do anything in the way of healing, but it hurts like shit. You know the saying "putting salt on an open wound".
