The first line should be, "All the lights in Miami," not "my attic," haha.
This is one of my favorites from Honeymoon, Lana has a knack for painting vivid pictures with her music. Listening to it I feel like I'm walking through the winding streets of some Italian town in the summer. The chorus melody almost sounds like it was taken from an Italian movie score or something. (She has said of the song "Old Money" from Ultraviolence that the melody for that song was partially taken from an instrumental piece from the 1960's Romeo & Juliet film, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was inspired by another piece of film score.)
Also, "salvatore" means "savior" in Italian. Which on the surface implies that he's saving or rescuing her ("I've been waiting for you"... "I've been cold without you,") but I think it really means the opposite, because the song has a kind of lonely, melancholic feel to it, she's "dying by his hand," and in the end, "Salvatore can wait." And just in conjunction with the rest of the album where she's singing in classic Lana-style these songs about being with a man but he's distant, elusive, etc. So, maybe she wants him to be her savior, yet finds herself disappointed.
I don't know, who really cares. Lana rocks no matter how people interpret her songs :)
