Thick Sand
Thick Sand: Exploring Life's Turbulent Truths
Lyrics
At the end of the day
Reflecting on the conclusion of the day
The energy's curdled
The energy has soured or become unpleasant
She'd realize it's just a little
Realizing that the situation is only a bit problematic
The truth's somewhere in the middle
The truth lies somewhere between extremes
Somebody's says
Someone suggests that power has its drawbacks
Power comes at a cost
It's better not to be indecisive
Best to have no thumbs that twiddle
Suggesting it's best not to fiddle or waste time
And not preach your speech in riddles
Advocating for clear and straightforward communication
I thought I played a good hand
Feeling confident in playing a good role in life
But the cards turned to thick sand
Unexpected difficulties or challenges arise
I want to leave this place
Desire to leave a difficult situation or environment
But I can't stand
Unable to tolerate the current circumstances
Down to me you talk as if
Addressing someone directly
As if I'll understand then
Expressing uncertainty or lack of comprehension
Tell me how could you when
Questioning how understanding is possible
It's bent so bad
Referring to a situation that is severely distorted
It cannot break
Despite being severely bent, it's not completely broken
I'm learning
Acknowledging the process of learning from difficulties
What good is change If the reason gets lost?
Questioning the value of change if the purpose is unclear
Does being that non-committal create a shade of strength that is brittle?
Wondering if being non-committal brings a fragile kind of strength
Use is to waste
Suggesting that using something can lead to its wastefulness
Love is to loss
Love often results in loss or disappointment
Like the heat spent on the griddle
Comparing love to heat on a griddle, implying it can be intense
Trial that ends in an acquittal
A trial that ends without punishment
Get caught holding a new hand
Facing consequences for a new decision or action
Every card turns to thick sand
Unexpectedly, everything turns difficult or problematic
With no need for faith
Not requiring faith in a situation, but some prefer planning
But some need to plan
Some individuals need to plan despite the lack of necessity
Sounds to me like a cost
Implying a significant consequence or price
As if
Addressing someone directly again
As if you've sold your land free
Suggesting the person has given up their freedom
Tell me how does it end
Questioning the resolution or outcome of a situation
Spites a man she cannot face
Expressing resentment towards a person she cannot confront
Bites a hand she cannot taste
Reacting negatively to a situation she cannot experience
Draws a line she will not trace
Creating a boundary that she refuses to acknowledge
Until the morning
Referring to postponing confrontation until the morning
