The National – I Should Live in Salt Lyrics 12 years ago
I also think it's a Biblical reference. Living in salt and leaving you behind in the same line is too much of a coincidence. I'm sure there is a double-meaning of cleansing and preservation. I am also hearing a lot of people mentioning that this is a reference to his brother. Great song, great album.
