I have another possible interpretation of the line "pour a little salt, we were never here". The (likely untrue) story goes that when Rome defeated Carthage in the Punic Wars, the general Scipio poured salt on the land so that nothing could ever grow there again. In essence, wipe Carthage off the face of the map so it will never be remembered. Could the same not be said of this love gone bad? |

I know this album has been out a long time now, but it came up on my iPod today and I was prompted to look it up. I agree with the previous posts--clearly this is a song about their lives on the road as traveling musicians. The line I love in this song, however is "Changing the plans that I've been setting on/ I'm scared by the way that my life is getting gone/Carolina, one day I'll, someday I'll come home" The older I get, the faster life does indeed seem to pass by and the more I yearn to be at home with friends and family. Sadly, like them, work often keeps me away from where my heart is. I suspect they were feeling the same way. |
