Sand Castles
Ephemeral Love's Last Stand
Lyrics
Forever is a fool's game to play
Forever is considered a risky pursuit, a game for fools.
When he falls in love a little to late
Regret is felt when love comes too late.
Now I know my game
The singer now understands the nature of their actions or choices.
But only the lonely can relate
Loneliness is a shared experience among those who only now understand.
Lay out your footprints
Leave a lasting impression or legacy.
Don't let them get washed away
Preserve your impact; don't let it be forgotten.
Cause you messed with forever
Playing with eternal commitments has consequences.
But now it's all taking on waves
The consequences are now becoming apparent.
Caught up beside and then drifted behind
Caught in the moment and left behind.
Behind the line that meets the sky
Behind the point where dreams meet reality.
Where all of the castles we made in the sand
Memories of sandcastles created with someone.
Meet the footprints you left
Those memories intersect with the path left by that person.
Didn't know what time it was
Uncertainty about the timing of events.
Your hand was cold
A physical and emotional distance is felt.
And the Sun was set on your silhouette
The end of the day, symbolizing the conclusion of something.
As you sat down and sank down
A descent into despair or a challenging situation.
And it all worked against me
Challenges seem insurmountable.
And you were a queen
Addressing the person as a powerful figure, possibly sarcastically.
Just walking on the ocean floor
Metaphorically walking in a place of deep emotions or troubles.
And you took one last deep dying breath
A significant moment of loss or change.
But I sailed to shore
The singer manages to survive and reach safety.
Lay out your footprints
Reiteration of the importance of leaving a lasting impact.
Don't let them get washed away
Preserving one's influence remains crucial.
Cause you messed with forever
Acknowledging the consequences of playing with eternal commitments.
But now it's all taking on waves
The repercussions are intensifying.
Caught up beside and then drifted behind
Caught in a challenging situation and left behind again.
Behind the line that meets the sky
Behind the point where dreams meet reality, once more.
Where all of the castles we made in the sand
Reflecting on shared memories, particularly sandcastles.
Meet the footprints you left
Those memories intersect with the path left by the person.
Lay out your footprints
Reemphasizing the importance of leaving an enduring impact.
Don't let them get washed away
Preserving one's influence is a continuous effort.
Cause you messed with forever
Acknowledging the consequences of playing with eternal commitments.
And now it's all taking on waves
The consequences are becoming more pronounced.
But I Caught up beside and then drifted behind
Caught in a challenging situation and left behind, yet again.
Behind the line that meets the sky
Behind the point where dreams meet reality, persistently.
Where all of the castles we made in the sand
Reflecting on shared memories, particularly sandcastles, repeatedly.
Meet the footprints you left
Those memories intersect with the path left by the person, persistently.
