about

Salt of the Earth from another Universe...

While mainly being an ode to the catharsis that creating music can offer, SOTE also addresses the internal struggle of keeping a healthy balance between the sweet relief of escapism and being a conforming functional member of the working-class.

lyrics

 
Salt Of The Earth

I’m mending a broken heart I’m off to find and bring back home my soul 
From deep down the rabbit hole, one can only hope
You're gonna man up and face the truth
The dream was gone long before your precious youth
Those days are years behind
      
See them when you close your eyes, close your eyes 
I won't let life take me by surprise    
I close my eyes, close my eyes 
No more need for compromise
 
Trying to use every open door keeps leading you inside the eye of the storm
This might one day swallow whole everything you've once called home
Time to man up and face the fact the moment was gone way before you could react
Let’s hope I’ll realise

You can see them when you close your eyes, close your eyes 
I am falling for my own white lies    
I close my eyes, close my eyes 
Maybe this will break the ice 

In here I can hear my thoughts                                          
They scream fight against all odds 
When I close my eyes I can bend the rules
Rewind, play, pause I am my own muse 
I may now go forth I can stay on course
While I close my eyes I'm the salt of the earth from another universe:   

I close my eyes, close my eyes 
I know there is no other side
I’ll cross on time that thin red line

Oxymoronically wallowing in mediocrity to such an extent that its barely legal yet proudly scraping the bottom of the barrel for any drop of inspiration that would lift one's self-confidence
