Lyric discussion by perryrhinitis 

Cover art for Salt Skin lyrics by Ellie Goulding

I have been reading about the meanings of Ellie's songs for a while now and it's like listening to her songs for the first time when I find out what they mean. It's so wonderful. I like Ellie even more now. This song in particular made much more sense to me now that I know it's about running away. :D
