Saloma

Saurom's song "Saloma" tells a poignant story of a mermaid who falls in love with a mortal fisherman. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of her emotional journey, starting with the realization that the sea no longer sounds the same without the presence of her beloved. The mermaid's dreams and illusions are shattered as she yearns for a love that seems impossible due to their different natures.

The song delves into the depth of her love, describing how she enriches her affection through the songs of the fisherman. However, her passion is met with despair as the fisherman’s journey comes to an end, leaving her with nothing but sorrow and tears. The mermaid's inability to express her pain is symbolized by her tears of salt, which she buries along with her memories at the bottom of the sea.

As the mermaid returns to the depths of the ocean, she is enveloped in loneliness. Neither the seaweed nor the corals can offer her solace. She confides her sorrows to a starfish, longing for the freedom to walk on land. The imagery of the sea dragging her and her eternal love sinking further emphasizes her sense of loss and hopelessness. A seahorse offers her constant consolation, but it is clear that her heart remains heavy with unfulfilled love and dreams.

"Saloma" is a beautifully tragic narrative that explores themes of unrequited love, longing, and the pain of separation. Saurom's evocative lyrics and the melancholic tone of the song capture the essence of a love that transcends boundaries yet remains unattainable.
