Saliva: 50 Best Songs From Their Career (So Far)

48. "Storm" - Back Into Your System

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQOx5i0nrm4 Six years into their career, and a third studio album out by 2002, Saliva dug deep into their hard rock/rap rock roots with Back Into Your System. An album that expressed a return to form in one's lifestyle, friends, and home, Back Into Your System was Saliva's all-around hardest edge album up until 2004. An album based off emotion and intestinal fortitude, "Storm" clears a sharp path of emotion by ways of self-regret, hate towards certain choices, and pushing through it all to make a better way of living. The emotion is what's key here; Scott's sensational vocals In whand sorrowful attitude really drive home the goal of the song: connecting with one's shackled life and seeing how they're making a pathway out.

47. "Call It Something" - Saliva

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6eq5r0oXL8 Their debut album, rather dark and mortifying at times, revealed Saliva as a band who held a vast amount of skill in both instrument use and lyrical mastery. Almost every song vented dark lyrics and catchy rims that simplified Saliva as the post-grunge band to watch out for. "Call It Something" happens to be one of the self-titled album's most bizarre and darkly written song. Detailing a series of lives ending in death (a child from a rich family dying of drug use and a step-father murdering his whole surrogate family), the song comes to explaining life as a series of misfortunate events, having us branding it something only to come out nothing.
