"Salvatore" is a dreamy love song that romanticizes Miami and the summer season. Lana Del Rey describes a love affair with a man named Salvatore, whom she adores and sees as her "king". She likens his presence to the bright lights of Miami and describes his voice as singing "jazz and blues like a boss".
The chorus of the song features Italian phrases and references, such as "cacciatore" (hunter) and "limousines", furthering the romanticization of the relationship and the glamour of their life together. The bridge adds a sense of danger, suggesting that Lana is "dying by the hand of a foreign man" but is still happy to hear him call out her name.
In the final chorus, Lana switches from singing "cacciatore" and "limousines" to "soft ice cream", emphasizing that despite the glamour and excitement of their life together, they still enjoy simple pleasures like ice cream. The song overall suggests that even in a world of excess and luxury, love and human connection remain the most important and fulfilling aspects of life.
