Holding Sand
Unveiling the Frailty of Desires
Lyrics
Sew a late seed
Sewing a late seed, possibly suggesting planting something with delayed potential or consequence.
And so inside
An internal struggle or reflection occurring within.
A cast out, unwanted son
Describing oneself as a cast-out, unwanted son, indicating a sense of rejection or isolation.
A crawl to what you want
A slow progression towards personal desires or goals.
Sit down, you fault, you run away from anyone
Avoiding confrontation, escaping responsibility, or running away from relationships.
And where you live, I feel most on
Feeling most comfortable or at home in a secluded corner of one's existence.
A corner of space that you don't run
A reference to a space where one avoids facing challenges or conflicts.
And guard's off, I pass you by
Passing by without notice or making an impact.
Makes no impression as you stand
Being unnoticed, lacking influence or significance.
Makes no impression holding sand
Emphasizing the futility of making an impact, akin to holding sand.
A waif across the sea, aloss
Describing a person as a lost soul or wanderer across the sea.
Because you can't think straight
Inability to think clearly or make sound decisions.
It's your calling
A reference to one's purpose or destiny.
Wasted mourning
Wasting time in mourning or regret.
You wish it was your hand sliding down her back
Expressing desire for physical intimacy or connection.
Call, this is the first thing that you can solve
Solving a problem as a symbolic first step, possibly related to personal growth.
As the weight comes off again
A sense of relief or release as a burden is lifted.
Always the last to remember a name
Consistently being forgetful or overlooked in social situations.
Makes no impression as you stand
Reiteration of the lack of impact or impression made.
Makes no impression holding sand
Reiterating the idea of holding onto something with no lasting effect, like sand.
You had your captive fan, and then what?
Reflecting on having a fan or admirer but questioning its significance.
She saw your face and it tied your hands
Recognition that seeing one's true self can be limiting or restraining.
Made no impression on me
Acknowledging a lack of impact on the speaker.
Only left out holding sand
Left with nothing substantial, similar to holding sand.
And it runs through
Describing the transient nature of something passing through.
Shows in your face and runs through your hands
The impact showing in one's face but ultimately slipping away through their hands.
